Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 8 – Love Meme

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this [the assignment] post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.

Like a number of people, I thought at first that this called for me telling others how awesome I think I am. And I could do that, but it’s a relief to discover I’m just supposed to leave this up here — begging for candy — and wait to see what I receive.

I will go so far as to follow spikedluv’s lead in listing out a few prompts that can be followed, which also are things I’d like to know:

• How did you learn about me/how did we meet?
• Do you have a favorite fic by me? If so, what and why?
• Have I given constructive feedback to anything you have done? (Because if I haven’t, I should have.)
• Just say something nice but true (yes, you may have to scrounge around for something), because I’m prickly and arrogant and pretty much focused on my own stuff, but I need love just like everybody else.

And there we are.

When you reach what would have been your twenty-year mark (assuming you haven’t already), you’ll feel at least some regret that you didn’t hang in there. Everybody does.

I went in partly from duty and mostly for the hell of it, and stayed for sheer love of that life. It was a privilege.
