For a while I've been obsessively repeatedly occasionally tracking my stats and was surprised to encounter a pretty great amount of people surfing by here on a regular scale but never commenting. Also occassionally LJ tells me I have readers who read via RSS feed (so I assume they must come from outside of LJ since if they were on LJ they wouldn't have to use RSS feed to read my journal) and I'm dying to know who they are.

So... come on, people, delurk (and yes, dad, that includes you as well, if you are among my lurkers). Comment here and tell me how you got here (because some of you don't have any friends or comms in common with me at all), what interested you, why you come back (because some of you do ;))... I won't judge you or mock you or be a bitch to you... I'm really just curious. And to encourage people who are not on LJ to delurk as well, I temporarily changed my comments setting. From today, everyone will be allowed to comment (although I have CAPTCHA for anonymous comments and will screen them... what? I have a reason to be paranoid about anonymous commenters) for a week. Isn't that really an offer you can't refuse?

Is this optional on journals? Cause I didn't know that was possible... or did I miss an announcement somewhere.

Well when you come into a persons main LJ (not specific entries) you can click a button in your URL bar to follow this RSS (it's a little orange box w/ 3 white semi circles on it in Firefox). You can then choose to add it to your reader or your home page (depending on your RSS settings)

No problem. I'm a bit of a wealth of odd information at times.

I'd like to reveal that I stalk you via RSS. Because then I see you every time I log into my homepage since I have an iGoogle homepage with RSS feeds built in.

Oh, I did? *blushes Thank you. Maybe, one day, I'll even get back into writing SGU ;)

Been pretty much lurking around since you started writing Leverage fic...

Vague answer is vague, was ist denn die schönste Stadt der Welt für dich? ;)

Oh really? Lots of people came here when I started writing and publishing Leverage fic... which means I'll probably keep writing Leverage fic ;)

Berliiiiiiiiin :D

You better do! *grins* I dunno how it is with the stargate fandom, but Leverage fans are still few and scattered and therefore pretty persistent when it comes to hunting down new authors.
But I really hope you'll stick around. Fresh blood's always good :D

Tsetse, auch noch 'ne Bulette... Ich bin noch ein bisschen östlicher ;)

Actually, I have a feeling that it won't ever become a really big fandom but that's why I love it :D Small fandoms are always so cozy. What I also really like about the Leverage fandom in particular is that there are no definite shipper camps (yet?) and thus no hardened fronts and all. Everyone is so nice to each other :D

BTW, for some reason lots of my Stargate fandom friends are totally into Leverage which is actually the reason why I got curious about it in the first place.

Ich hab dich gestalkt... LJ sagt "Berlin, Deutschland" ;) (aber tatsächlich wohl, wie wir Berliner sagen, Westpolen? ;))

Yeah well, I sure hope it's not getting bigger. In October, Leverage enters German free TV... Bit afraid of the response.

"What I also really like about the Leverage fandom in particular is that there are no definite shipper camps (yet?)" Fortunately. Nate/Sophie and Nate/Maggie is kinda given, but the others are so wonderfully free to use <3

Hmm, if your people *grins* converted from Stargate, maybe I should give it a try... Still looking for a good new series...

Jaa, bis gestern! ich hab LJ aber ganz nett gesagt, dass ich ja doch nicht wirklich Berliner bin, so ganz mit ohne Akzent, und deswegen bin ich jetzt wieder... Naja, nicht ganz Westpolen, so weit dann doch nicht. Strausberg? oO

Far as I know, it's going to be a VOX show and VOX shows tend to be small to very small fandoms (maybe apart from Gilmore Girls)... so I keep up hope that fandom will stay as cozy as it is right now ;)

Fortunately. Nate/Sophie and Nate/Maggie is kinda given, but the others are so wonderfully free to use <3

Yes :D Also... Eliot = Little Black Dress of fandom ;) Although I'm usually an OTP person, I start to appreciate fandoms that don't have one or have one that's written subtle but well (Stargate kind of burned me bad that way :S).

Hmm, if your people *grins* converted from Stargate, maybe I should give it a try... Still looking for a good new series...

I think for Stargate fans it's the whole team thing that attracted them... well, us. Or it did for me, anyway. I always loved team eps best in SG1 and SGA and Leverage also has that wonderful dysfunctional family team thing going on which is probably what got me hooked (well, after Eliot and the whole high tech toys and brilliant dialogues thing ;)).

As for a good new series... well, Stargate is... um... special ;) Seen with impartial eyes, the franchise writing has lots of weaknesses, both in plot and characterization but I still love it (Stargate: Atlantis much more than SG1) because most of the fandom :D (or at least the part I'm active in). I guess I came for the 'Gate and the action and I stayed for the fellow fans ;)

Naja, nicht ganz Westpolen, so weit dann doch nicht. Strausberg? oO

Ach, da kommt man mit der S-Bahn hin, das ist noch Berlin ;) Oder so halb zumindest. Irgendwann wird das eh eingemeindet :D

"so I keep up hope that fandom will stay as cozy as it is right now ;)" (Yes, I'm too newbie-ish to use italics. Bite me! :D )

Hopefully :) You gonna watch it? Because, well, if they use the same dubbing voice for Eliot as they did for Lindsey on Angel, I'm soooo gonna protest! Sounded way more like a mentally unstable dentist than an evil lawyer -.-

"Eliot = Little Black Dress of fandom ;)" Aww, there's a real cute story about that by [livejournal.com profile] teand :)

Yeah, I guess that's what attracts me, the whole dynamics of the team. IDK, I never could warm up to series that only have one main protagonist *shrugs*

Uhh, that could get difficult... I'm sadly not that easy to please with television, most of the time I can't sit still through even one episode :\ *sighs*
"I guess I came for the 'Gate and the action and I stayed for the fellow fans ;)" Cool, but not so cool if you're new to a series, I guess...

Haha, so einfach ist das nicht! Strausberg ist nur generelle Richtung... daneben ist ein Dorf, das heißt Rehfelde (hat sogar Regio-Anschluss! o.o) und DANEBEN ist mein Dorf, das noch nichtmal ein Ortseingangsschild hat. Uns kriegt ihr NIEMALS! Muhahahahaaa :D

Probably the first episode... and then I will spent the rest of my life trying to forget it. Seriously, I was traumatized before by Stargate voiceover. They gave Kavan Smith who has like one of the greatest voices EVAR the voice of Hugh Grant. Hearing that for about five seconds scarred me for ever...

Cool, but not so cool if you're new to a series, I guess...

Actually, a lot of Stargate fans I know that are really into fandom said they came in pretty late. And there's one big advantage: two out of three shows are finished (and I'll just ignore the one that isn't... SGU will never have the same place in my heart that SGA has) and you can watch them all the way through if you find that you like it ;)

Uns kriegt ihr NIEMALS! Muhahahahaaa :D

Berlin ist die Stadt, die die Preußen, die Hugenotten, zwei Weltkriege und eine Teilung überlebt hat. Wir kriegen JEDEN :D

I got here because of your Leverage fics and I found out that we also share a few more fandoms in common.

Thanks for being interested enough :) And I really like it when I become interested in a user because of one fandom and find out that we actually share more than just that one fandom.

Hi, just delurking to say I read your Leverage fics. I suck at comments so I don't leave many.

Thanks for delurking :D I'm still surprised how many people got here through the Leverage stories. I love how active the fandom is :)

PS.: MASSIVE icon love! Rwarrrrrr!
