How fun to get to revisit a fic and find it so fresh and entertaining. I remember reading and loving it as it was posted but it's been forever (well, probably six or seven years, right?).
Funnily enough I have just finished an epic reread of The Giles Thing after a number of years and was delighted to find it was like reading it fresh - and it was wonderful.
New York might well be the next in line. Nods to self.
Yikes, I really lost track of all my squidlove accounts. Sorry, here I am.
I think this is my only near-future story. Or the only one that actually tries to reference the real world. I spent tons of time researching details like which telescope would be sending back deep space photos, but that I still got wrong because the James Webb has been pushed back to 2020. But the stuff I arsed I did better on.
You are not the only one. LOL I almost never go to LJ anymore because almost everyone on my flist is on DW now, so I forget to answer comments here. I'm contemplating not crossposting anymore because I forget so often.
i just re-read this again and yep you are spot on for most of your predictions. it's a bit creepy actually :) is there any chance of you posting your lovely,lovely stories to archive of our own? you are honestly one of my favorite authors.
Thank you so much lishel! So nice to see you! (in the livejournal sense of seeing...)
I got some future stuff, but missed others. Jen is not running her life through six different social media apps...
I've posted one story from each of my fandoms to AO3, so there would be something there. (Hands Down for these guys.) I have a vague notion of adding some more, when I get around to it, but I'm not super-motivated. For me, fanfic is a community hobby; it's a way to connect to people and chat about fannish things, while AO3 feels more like a vending machine than a community.
There isn't much community on lj either these days, but it doesn't give me the empty feeling of AO3 kudos.
I do intend to put stuff there. It just never makes it to the top of the to-do list. One day! Probably a little at a time.

Yup, seven. Though I think ten since I started writing it.
The gap has been nice. I got stale on Giles/Xander after writing this; it's like this story wore me out. But now I can come back and love them again.

Yes, this has awakened my G/X love enough that I might read Giles thing next, teehee.
I'm also re-reading comments, and it's so lovely to find all yours.

Yes, what blissful ignorance we lived in.

I don't think I've ever written a future fic that was real world and not like Star Trek.
You are an excellent predictor.
