Happy Birthday to All of You

Back on Nov. 26, othermewriter had her birthday. It's been a long time since she's been around, but I hope she's doing well. I always liked her appreciation of Donna and the Ninth Doctor, and it would be lovely to see her again around these parts. Many happy returns of the day to you!

Just yesterday, the long-vanished lonewytch  celebrated her birthday. She is an Eleven and River fangirl, and has written lovely fiction and elegant, thought-provoking meta. I miss seeing her here and I hope her life has been full of good things. May it also be full of good things in the year to come.

Today ... today is the birthday of the long-absent (oops; I'm beginning to see a pattern here) spiderine , who I always enjoyed reading for her well-written and often unnerving fic - from Torchwood to MCU Cinematic and Who in general - as well as for her trenchant, often creatively profane, and always well-considered commentary on the world. I hope she is doing well, and that she could observe her birthday with a smile, and with friends. 

Finally, I can wish Happy Birthday to the quite present (hurrah!) azalaisdep . After a bit of an absence, this lovely person has returned, talking about the small things that make her happy, and that, in turn, makes me happy (and many others, I suspect.) She has written wonderful LotR fic, and is, all in all, a tiny bit of a treasure. Happy Birthday to you!

I love the way she writes. I hope she's doing well. I miss a lot of people these days. Perhaps the new season can bring people back?

idk man I think we are the last of the old gaurd. There are a dozen or so fan livejournals/tumblrs I check every so often and they haven't updated in a year or more.

That's sad. I intend to stay here and keep posting (even if I do it in fits and starts) for as long as possible. I like the people I know online, I like the discussions we have, and frankly, you guys help keep me sane. Really.

Too many missing birthday people. We need a reunion!

Seconded! How shall we go about it?

(I've taken to sending personal "Happy Birthday" messages to long-absent people, in the hopes that some of them may still get LJ PM notifications, just to let them know that someone still thinks of them. Of course, many may not get such notifications, and others may not care, or may actually think it's terrible of folks like me to be so obtrusive. I can only hope that the latter is not the case.

So ... hmmm ... ideas?
