I said "most" because there are always clueless newbies who don't know anyone, yet (knows from experience *lol*)

Yeah, I guess when I think BNF, I first think of the writers, which isn't fair at all, because they're not the ones who keep fandom alive. That's the people who help newbies and manage coms and organize conventions and rec and have cool ideas for ficathons and all that. Writers are just people addicted to feedback :D

if its in the writing sense, there is nearly no competition to astolat. I mean, her writing?
gift of the gods :D
Indeed. I don't know a better fanfic writer than her.
