DPP: Friending Meme!

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

Alright you lot, for today I have something a little different.  The thing is, some of us remember fandom before this comm, and some joined just after the finale, and some have only just discovered the show...and just about every time I read the comments on this site I find new and unfamiliar faces (by faces, I of course mean usernames).  So I propose...(drumroll please)...a friending meme!

Now, I've just taught myself how to do this code box thing so let's hope it works.  Anyway, you can copy and paste the following code into your comments. 

I valiantly tried to do one of those code box things but the html was being very, very difficult and I gave up.  You guys can just copy and paste from here.  Remember that each line is, of course, optional.  Now go, talk to people, and be merry!

I'm a huge fantasy story fan and am always looking for people to discuss them with

SOON! I promise! I just need to find time to get this book finished up. I'm definitely more than mid-way now though. :>)

Hee. It's okay bb. I'm finishing up Mistborn right now any way :-)

HEY! Where's my user fic? Well, I know that you know me, so that would be hard, but I still want one :-)

CRAP! Sorry, Naz, but I think I already know too much about you to do a good one. But.... since I wouldn't want to disappoint you, I'll do a variation on the "friendsfic" theme. You get, "Past Life Naz" story:

In a previous life, you were the daughter of an impoverished but influential gentleman of the privy chamber of Henry VIII. This meant that as you reached the age of 14, you took a position of lady in waiting for Queen Catherine (of Aragon). One summer, as the court was traveling, you were struck by ague. Henry (being a bit of a hypochondriac) insisted that the rest of the court move on without you, and you were left behind to recover. After that, you had spells when you suddenly could sense the future, though you wisely kept these to yourself. This meant that when a black-haired young woman affecting a French accent who had changed the spelling of her last name to seem less provincial, joined the court, you wisely removed yourself from her circle, and settled in the countryside... waiting while the scandal erupted.

You lived a long and prosperous life, following the markets, especially in the New World, and making an independent living unheard of for a woman of that time period. You never married, though you had various "friends" and "amours" with whom you traveled, and shared your life. You also sponsored a number of foundlings (some of them the by-blows of royalty), and were generally believed to be a wise and learned woman.

In middle age, you returned to court to guide and advise the new queen, Elizabeth I, as she embarked on her own voyage as a woman of independent means. Your prescient advice prevented many calamities and ultimately resulted in England being one of the wealthiest and most stable powers in the era. Your bones are interred in Westminster cathedral with the epitaph: Fortuna vitrea est; tum cum splendet frangitur.

Fortune is glass; just when it gleams brightest it shatters.)
