Unsung Heroes Appreciation
Before we get to the people that I think kick ass, did you hear that I was IN PAIN? Yes - let's begin with talking about me. Thursday night, I...threw my back out? Pinched a nerve? All I know is that I was looking up vids of Brad Pitt for no particular Stoney-inspired reason, and I bent over to scratch my foot and something twanged when it should have twigged. I shuffled into the house, kept Caza up until 4:00 a.m., literally had to crawl to the bathroom - twice - made Caza run to the all-night Wal-Mart for a heating pad and generally moaned from the vicinity of the couch all weekend.
Which means nothing I meant to do - fic re-writes and posting, letters mailing, green eggs and ham - got done this weekend. And the last I looked? My flist was at skip=340. Thank you so much to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweptawaybayou for covering the Herald for me this weekend. You rock!
Birthdays I missed:tx_cronopio, anelith, killerweasel, kelleah - *throws confetti* *shoots Silly String* Hope you all had a great day!
And now for the Heroes. Thanks again,southernbangel, for a great idea.

su_herald so much easier. They link to fic, meta, off-site points of interests and find and spotlight new writers. Lots of people rec, and god bless 'em for it, but kita0610 is a fantastic source for finding new Buffyverse writers, makd posts regular lengthy and informative lists and lunabee34 recs on her own as well as maintaining club_joss for detailed rec purposes. You all rock.

The Mods - I'm a member of few communities/lists, but I can't say enough about the work that goes into maintaining active sites. You guys amaze me.
lillianmorgan and yourlibrarian - for buffyversetop5
darkhavens - for bloodclaim
chrisleeoctaves - for Octaves of the Heart and Writer Con Archive
entrenous88 and viciouswishes - for bones_theseries
mara_sho for Moments Lost, which includes the Xander-centric "I Need a Parrot" archive and the White Knight Awards
spuzz - without Spuzz, there is no su_herald
The Vidders - I love fan vids. These are a few of my favorite creators.

The Funny Girls - I so much would rather laugh than cry. These are a few people I can always count on for funny fic, amusing meta, creations or observations or just the occasional WTF? comment in my journal.

cherusha - totally different fandom, but she cracks my ass up.
The Writers Of Everything - I know I'm massively missing people on this list, but these are a few writers who write so many disparate pairings, genres and styles that I never know if I'm going to click on a fic link that will lead me to introspective, thinky Connor character study, totally hot Faith/Buffy porn, a Wesley that sounds more Wesley than canon, two dudes kissin' or a Harmony piece so funny there's screen spewing.

elcazavampiros - what? It's kind of cool to read him online, makes him seem like an entirely different person. If you're thinkin' you want a stranger, there's one comin' home...(and thank you to both of you who laughed at that George Strait shout-out.)
The Thinkers - Whether it's fandom meta, meaty rant or RL "did you know?" - these writers cause me to learn something new or come to look at something in an entirely different way. They're like, good with words and stuff.

The Iconers/Graphic Makers - I'm not a big visual arts person - despite that overwhelming icon love. These are few that continue to amaze me with their iconage, screen cap sharing and other "Wow...she did that with a computer? Fancy!" abilities.

The Faithful Readers / Givers Of Feedback - Some of these people are writers, some are betas, some are just here for the fic and the fun - but these are names I often see leaving thoughtful responses to fic on any given day as I lurk around fandom. And really, how many S/X writers owe their continued improvement totabaqui encouragement or kitty_poker1 beta efforts? There should be a sash and a tiara, or something...

The Writers Who Made Me Want to Write - These are either the first writers I read in fandom and thought, "Holy hell...that's 'fanfic'?" or who were coming into fandom writing the same time as I was and made me think, "Er, maybe I should just be a reader..." You could call it a list of faves, and yes, I know it's S/X heavy - but there's S/A in there as well! These are the writers who made me want to give it a try, and gave me something to fall short of. They're brilliant, and if I've never told them before, they've all inspired me and shown me how fantastic love of the source material and a true gift with words can be. I doff my hat. (If I wore one.)
