I'm pretty sure I saved a copy, but it's on my other comp, which I really
don't feel like going on at the moment (it crashed last week and has been
acting up terribly ever since). If you can wait 'til tomorrow, I can post it
to the list?
Oh dear! I just realized that I haven't introduced myself to the list yet!
*g* If you don't know me from the other lists, I'm Jenny Penny, my only job
at the moment is walking my uncle's dogs, as I'm taking a year off before
college, and I'm a hopeless romantic. Being that I wasn't alive during S&H's
original airing, I'm a TNN-generation fan (though I am lucky enough to have a
local station that airs it at 3 a.m. every weekday, uncut!). S&H is my latest
fandom out of many -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my initiation into fandom,
and slash, followed by Angel, but after a few years I decided to explore
outside my comfort zone and found X-Files slash, devoured as much of that as
I could, then expanded my horizons some more by dabbling in due South,
Farscape, Harry Potter, The Invisible Man, Oz, Star Wars, Roswell, The West
Wing and Highlander. *draws breath* And it's ironic that it's a show that
came long before any of those that brought me to a screeching halt. Damn, I
wish I could remember what S&H ep I watched first, but no matter... I do
remember staring at the screen with my jaw just on the floor from the blatant
slashiness. Despite all my fandoms, I hadn't seen nothin' yet. *g* And it
wasn't too long after, that I fell completely in love with the boys (don't
ask me to choose a favorite, I can't do it!). I mean, really, really in love
to the point of drippy mushiness. And then I met all the wonderful people who
love them too, and I decided I was going to build myself a little home in
this fandom, maybe raise a family here, get a couple dogs. After all, the
neighbors are so nice, and the scenery can't be beat. *eg* I don't think I'll
be moving for a while. *presses her nose up against a window and waves to
Martha, who was so kind and helpful to the newbie, and Flamingo, who was nice
enough to rip out her heart and stomp all over it with her incredible
writing* I can't wait to get to know the rest of you!
BTW, as a word of warning: I'm prone to bouts of absences (during which I'm
probably coding HTML and screaming death threats at my computer), and I also
have a tendency to bring up really old topics... but only the happy ones, I
promise. *s*
Okay, leaving now.
