Too cool for subject
(A founding writer in one of my fandoms, I discovered, lives a quarter-mile from me, right across the street from some friends of ours. I've parked in front of her house. But I've never knocked on her door and said, "Hi, you don't know me, but I write in your AU!" But I'd love to.)
I've never knocked on her door
I'm very intrigued that JH took refuge in fic and fandom during what sounds like a depressive stage, I think many of us came to fandom that way. If I see her again, I'll try and pluck up the courage, I'm sure she'd be amenable. She occasionally does talks and q&a's locally, I might make a point of going to one, since the novel's all about t'internet and fandom, it'd be a perfectly legit point of discussion, wouldn't it?
Re: I've never knocked on her door
I was actually a bit put-off by why she said she was writing fanfic - I get a bit defensive when people feel they have to justify their involvement. Will think more on this!

Re: I've never knocked on her door
Oh, I agree! (And I'm glad you landed in fandom!)
Me, I was fannish from grade school, and active and buying fanfic zines from the age of 14 or 15. And only really started to write fanfic so that I could be on SentinelAngst. I'm still not all that social fannishly, compared to how I interact on some parenting lists.
