Meme: "Dear Fandom" Letters

Okay, [livejournal.com profile] stunt_muppet did this meme and I thought it looked rather fun... That meme where you write to fandoms as if they were significant others and see if people can guess what they are. Do I even have ten fandoms? Huh.

If nothing else, it should be pretty impressively cracky and fun to write. Here goes!

Under the cut, 'cause this is gonna be long... )

Whoa. That was fun. Very metaphorical. And I got to say some things I've never quite known how to say any other way - which is cool.

Okay, I am such a total and utter geek, but this is AMAZING!

So I just read this article on Yahoo! News that says they've discovered a sea slug that splices genes from algae into its own DNA and gains the ability to produce chlorophyll! And it also steals the algae's chloroplasts, so it can convert sunlight into energy for itself, just like plants do!

Here's the linky, for as long as that works: Surprising Sea Slug Is Half-Plant, Half-Animal (by LiveScience staff writer Clara Moskowitz). Or, for the linkphobic and those who poke round these archives a couple years hence (hey, I do it), the text is under the cut.

Right this way... )

Isn't that just the coolest thing EVAR?!? *bounces*

(Yes, I am a geek!)
