spokeBack when I first started in livejournal, and was too chicken to friend half the people I found interesting, and was generally lame... Well. Moreso than I am now? ;p
I used to read this one journal![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
supacatfairly regularly, although as with most journals, I never really commented. Until a subject came up that I could not resist. It was about feminism and the lack of strong female characters in quest fantasies, and it just immediately brought to mind the Coldfire Trilogy and how much I love the women in those books. This triggered a moment of massive squee that almost completely over-rode the shyness of talking to someone who is a total stranger for all practical purposes. Almost, mind. I was still crossing my fingers that she wouldn't think I was a total dork, and then there was the bouncing squee when I got a reply... #^^#
Eventually, I got so caught up in other things that I lost track of the journals that I didn't have friended, but I never completely forgot that there was this really cool person whose journal I wanted to find again someday, and that entry in particular.
So, since I am feeling nostalgic, and have been reccing Coldfire to people - you know who you are! ;p - I present to you:
Go get that thing, Gawain
