my qaf nostalgia is strong, grasshoppers.  
Unfortunately, my ability to ever finish my huge-ass QaF nostalgia post is not. I think the sheer amount of info I want to put it in (all the memories!) is bogging me down and these last few months have basically been me opening the file and then, y'know, staring dumbly at it before wandering off to make icons. And rather than give up like a dork, I have this diabolical plan to just start posting little "remember when..?" posts at random whenever the mood strikes me. Diabolical, I say!

Mmm, yes. Just so happens I'm in the mood now. Fancy that! And I start with one of my Top 10 QaF Fics Evah:

"M'not good...for you," he panted. "Not good."

"You are good," I said, and he let out a shaky sob. I licked across his cheeks, under his nose, ate his tears and willed him to believe me. "Better than anyone." --Maps and Legends

AKA, the peyote chapter that I read obsessively. Though, really, every chapter in this masterpiece kills me in some way. Remember the "I HATE YOU" scene? I couldn't function properly after that for awhile, so perfect. Two of our best writers, hands down.

Read it here--> Maps and Legends by [livejournal.com profile] blaurosen & [livejournal.com profile] sparkledark

Oh, QaF. Oh, fandom. I heart you. \:D/

Oh and remember when sparkledark was Rachel? Me too. She wrote a really great 308 gapfiller that's so much love.

Now that you bring this up and in our several dozen e-mails, I just realized that I need to be comparing notes with you. No doubt I am leaving something out. :|

I so do, hee. [livejournal.com profile] rachelanton, wasn't it? OMG, deleted and purged. So sad. I remember being megaconfused for ages when she changed it, cos, y'know, I have memory like lint when it comes to folks changing their usernames. I get all startled when they pop up on my flist. "OMG WHO ARE YOU?" Heh.

Aw, anytime, sweets. Though it's likely you remember a lot more than I do!

I'm coming across so many deleted and purged. It's depressing. Yes! I am quickly confused with the user name changes. I never know who they are when they pop out again.

Really? I think that you will be most helpful in the quest.

Yesss. I get not wanting to post anymore, but I so wish they wouldn't delete their journals. SO MUCH LOST. :( Word. I started keeping a list of oldusername = newusername to help my poor brain.

Between the two of us, we could take over the world with our quest. :D
