bubosquared | An Anniversary

Ladies, Gentlemen

I propose a toast. A toast to the barely eighteen-year old girl I was three years ago. That girl started a list called RareSlash, three years ago today, because she was fed up with the way non-mainstream fandoms were consistently ignored on multi-fandom slash lists. That girl conciously and explicitely allowed people under eighteen on said list because she didn't like the way she had been treated in fandom mere months before, having to lie about her age or not join any lists at all.

That girl was angry about a lot of things. That girl was me. Ladies, gentlemen, today is the third anniversary of my BOFQ-ness.

Cheers.

Now let's get drunk!

Melle, never doubt that you have some influence. If it weren't for you just mentioning RS-X when I was looking for lists to join almost two years ago now, I wouldn't be writing RPS at the frantic pace that I am now. I owe all my RPS experiences to you, and I love you for it.

And Rareslash is a pretty wonderful place too. It's my favourite FPS list because it's so fun and open to the unusual.

Thank you. :)
