I let her know, and she says hello! However, her reasons for deleting her DA have yet to be divulged. I think she's keeping that to herself in the meantime. Her spring break starts next week, and she said she'll think up an LJ name and get going on that, along with creating more fanart (she's currently making naked Sims of August and Diane).
It so is. I kind of don't mind that the fandom is basically dead, except for the few of us. Idk, I do like my peace and quiet, and I've still managed to find fellow fans, which is quite nice. You know, I didn't properly discover what exactly fandom was until I went snooping for dirty Labyrinth fanfic when my family first installed AOL dial-up. And little did I know, I was already into RPF by shipping Cameron Diaz and Ewan McGregor when A Life Less Ordinary came out. /ramble
I've always had story ideas in my head from films and such, but I never, ever compelled to actually write something out until IB. After everything it's led me to, I'm glad I did.
