Actually I wanted to also friend you. I'm pretty new in LJ but have been an avid LJ reader since early last year (lurker more like, but that word has such icky connotations). I remember being impressed with your exchange with klytaimnestra re. How Spike supposedly ruined BtVS.
As for fanfic writings in my language, there's no such thing. At least in my cultural context, fanfic writing is a totally young people's thing. I got introduced to fanfic by my teen-age daughter who's writing and drawing Japanese anime and Harry Potter fanfics. Actually, it's more like I introduced myself to the medium to find out what's been keeping my daughter busy online. (By the way, is it fan fic or fanfic?)
As for Buffy, I've been a fan since day 1. I even saw the movie when it first came out. After season 3 of X-Files, Buffy was the only television show I watched.
APCWomen is a global network. We do have members from the US and Europe although majority of us are from the global South. Most of the people in my friends' list right now are from the same network. I hope you find something useful and relevant in our Site.
I'll stop here. I do tend to babble on. It's just that you are the first person, outside my Internet comfort zone, with whom I've had a long online exchange in quite a while. I've worked with multicultural groups through the Internet since the mid-1990s. My daily virtual conversations now are mostly with workmates who are from different time zones. I use the Internet quite intensively, but lately I've started feeling constricted by the way my online interaction has been constructed. One of the reasons I joined LJ is so I can have enriching social interactions with people who are not necessarily workmates. Sort of what the Internet was all about during its early years. :-)
