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!

I connect you to it, and I respect you. Does this mean that I'm having a Britney moment?

Ah, but you know me personally. Ask anyone on RS who started the list, and maybe five of the 800+ members will know.

And hee! I hope not, since they're rumoured to have broken up.
