Snowflake Challenge '21 #2: Interact with someone new.
I'm going to address this challenge for now with a teaser of a plan.
Since November, I have been slowly savoring an outstanding, new-to-me, novel-length, HL story on the AO3 from, like '07, by someone I don't know. I will be commenting on it to that person as soon as I let it end. It's so good! One of the major characters is Greta (from "The Darkness"), and I have never seen not only anything remotely approaching this good a use of her, but also as good an HL use of any sort of psychic ability (I am not a fan of canon's employment of Cassandra's powers; I like this story much better... so far).
I will recommend the story properly as soon as I let it end.
Commenting on people's stories on the AO3 is the main way I interact with new people these days. Rarely, I reply to someone's comment in the replies of the journal of someone I'm already acquainted with. I should try harder to interact with new-to-me fans!
I don't know how anymore, I think. I'm not in any new fandoms, and I shy away from those I'm near. Old fandoms can't afford to turn on each other like new fandoms -- and, oh the worst, newly-cancelled fandoms, hurting so much -- think they can.

I need to try everything by this author. I hope she's still connected to her AO3 account to receive praise and thanks, even if she chooses not to reply.
no subject
Unfortunately, she doesn't have very many others in HL. I do recommend "All Things in Common," though. It should have a Character Death warning, but it's worth it.

Yes, she apparently has only 3 HL. :-( But a character death plot element is no problem for me; I usually enjoy reading well-written tragedy... though I may need to choose my reading with more care on that score as the issues and anxieties of 2020 keep on rolling.
