While I've never been to a convention, I did meet my best friends through fandom and have had several of them spend time with me in my home. That has been worth everything!

I think I'd write and post even if I never got FB simply because once I began to write, I knew I could never stop and I think Ao3 is a wonderful place... it's user friendly and has that silly little kudos thing that lets you know that people are reading and enjoying even if they are too shy or too busy to comment.

OOh, you're a Stargate fan? Me too!
