fabu: Meta on meta (how recursive can you get?) - Even if a specific post inspires a line of thought, I don't think those who pursue that thought for their own purposes owe anything to the original poster; there's no obligation to link, to not link, to notify the original poster, etc. -
hector_rashbaum: Airing - My initial thought was "holy shit I am a douche". And I owe OutedFan another, sincere apology...Where it stands today: For voicing my disapproval of her behavior,... I was defriended. For attempting to un-out somebody who had already been un-outed once, -

Is anything lost in translation when we try to describe in writing how someone sounds -
author_by_night: Harry Potter? That was the kid with the funky scar I used to read about, right? - the books are over, and things are different. There's the people still holding on, half hoping there will, someday, be another wizarding world related work from Jo. There's the people who still like the books enough, but who have moved on -
