I think I might have no convictions.

I never got around to doing the Valentine's game I found earlier this week (my time is just not my own anymore, I guess) but I did get a Valentine:

cruiscin_lan - you are yourself made of awesomesauce

And now, besides going back through all the comments I've ever made to find out who I called awesomesauce (which is probably more than one person, so I'll imagine everyone called me that) I'm going to write Valentines for everyone on my flist. They aren't anonymous, which takes some of the fun out of it, but here they are anyway. And I won't cut this post like a bitch, because love needs to be free and out there in the open. And so, in alphabetical order:

acinogan I am so glad I got your prompt for the sylarelle fic exchange, and that you got mine. Yours really took me places, and it gave me the opportunity to try some things in fic that I wouldn't otherwise tried (coughcoughwritingAngelaPetrellicoughcough). I was so excited for the fic you gave me, too, especially since you picked the one prompt I really wanted to see happen. And I love the name Lulu. Also, I really like your new layout, and I wish I knew where your username came from.

ashesfor_trees This might sound weird, but I really respect you for being able to hold on to your faith. I know that can be hard, and I'm impressed when people can do it, aren't ashamed of it, and don't make others feel bad for not having it. On a completely different note, I really enjoy a lot of your fic.

ateenwriter The email listed on your profile cracks me the fuck up, as do your Heroes commentaries. And I feel you on the physical activity front - I'm a skinny girl who can't breathe either.

aurilly I think it goes without saying that I totally fangirl you. Thanks so much for being so nice to me when I didn't know what I was doing, and for introducing me to the joy that is Mohelle. Your fic is always fun and romantic and sometimes epic and always engaging and entertaining.

ayalecia Firstly, I'm really bad about keeping up with your fic. Sorry about that. You kind of do write so damn fast, though, that I can't keep up with updates all the time!

candlewaxdreams Your devotion to Jason Dohring is admirable. The man has a nice ass. I love how your comment text is "Lick Logan." I never thought about it before but now... now... now I kind of want to.

catyuy Thanks for all you do as moderator of sylarelle. I promise one day I'll get around to all your prompts!

cruiscin_lan You are ridiculously good-looking. And that's not just the wine talking, baby.

dragynflies Eh, you're okay. And by okay I obviously mean that you are the friendship equivalent of enjoying half a bottle of wine with a pint of Ben & Jerry's - ridiculously delicious, the perfect pick-me-up, so bad and so good at the same time. And I mean that in a totally awesome way. Thanks for putting up with me so much.

eternal_moonie Your comments are always encouraging. Even sometimes when I post something I think no one will read, you always do, and you always leave feedback that's totally enthusiastic and wonderful.

killbot You should post more! I don't know if you know this, but I think you're a really interesting person. One time I had a dream you married Bruce Campbell for realsies. You were just an icon that said "Triple Nerd Score," though.

lil_orli I don't know you very well, but you were one of my first friends on LJ, so you'll always be special in that way.

mandy_jg Not even lying: first thing that comes to mind when I think of you is your "Gangee needs to cut a bitch" icon, which I ADORE. And I like your new layout too.

mrstater Yeah, I pretty much fangirl you too. Your writing style is beautiful and compelling and wonderful, and I'd love to read any original stuff you ever felt like sharing - you know, besides high school poetry! XD

perdiccas If it wasn't for the kink meme you hosted back in, like, October, I don't know how I would have been occupying my time since then. Probably doing homework or something equally productive yet boring. But then I never would have met all these other wonderful people or read all their wonderful works! So, thank you, for introducing me to the crack that is fandom. And I don't even have time to talk about your fic, except that it is a crack all its own.

sarahetc We really should make an overthinkity community or something. I like the way you overthink. And I really admire your 100% feedback policy. I try and I fail at that, because really, it's really stinking hard sometimes! And I like how your unabashed in your political beliefs, even when we disagree. I'm glad we can both recognize the fashion plates that are the Obama women, though.

speccygeekgrrl You keep me entertained at least 75% of the day. Please don't ever stop posting, because your personal stuff is just as interesting as your fic. I'd kind of like to see you turn every Heroes character into a nymphomaniac for a week... (And dude I just saw your profile. You went to grade school in Suffern? I used to drive through there all the time to visit friends in Tuxedo. Randomness).

stefichan I'm glad we're fwends! I loved it when you started a post with "Let's make fun of birth defects!" because I'm the same way. We're mean and we know it. Relish it! Also, I might bug you a lot about medical questions in the future. I hope you don't mind; you're the only nurse I know.

thebishopfiles You do so much to contribute - icons, fic, pretty much everything. That's awesome, chica, keep it up!

tiptoe39 We're new friends, so I'm don't know a whole lot about you, but I really do enjoy your fic and you seem game for something new all the time, which is fun and fantastic. Funtastic, even. FUNTASTIC.

unreckless Yeah, you have your own "fangirl" tag too, and it's completely because of "Someone else's heart pumping someone else's blood," which was one of my favorite fics last year. And we got matching banners for the Gabriel character study awards! That brings me unmitigated glee, for some reason.

wiley_one24 I love your Elle fic; it's so totally heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. You also make the sheer volume of VM fic out there seem much less foreboding to me. Also, if I ever come to Australia, do not let me babysit your child, as I might steal him away. That's fair warning.
