Today I was recognized in a coffeeshop as a member of my musical group, and approached, by someone I do not know at all who is apparently a fan.

I am perfectly content for that to be my life, but since when is that my life? Cool, but I am so confused.

Speaking of members of Sassafrass, tilivenn is looking for examples of characters who fit the archetype of 'bookish girl', such as the protagonist of Among Others, or Marcie in Finder: Talisman. She would appreciate any you can think of, especially in science fiction and fantasy literature; comment with those over at her journal.

Alas, I cannot! Her gear is set to "friends only." But if she checks back here: Shizuku from Whisper of the Heart (you know, the Ghibli movie).

Ditto, cannot comment.

But the one that comes to my mind first and hardest is Nina in the Young Wizards Series (So YOu Want to be a Wizard, etc.). ANd her sister Dairine.

This is tilivenn (no Dreamwidth account). I've fixed the comments, sorry about that. I didn't realize that setting it to be visible didn't necessarily imply I'd made comments available to all as well. Thanks for your suggestions!

I recently recognized someone who is totally a member of a musical group that I fangirl. In a coffee shop, no less. But I didn't approach him, because I didn't want to be That Creeper.

So just think: you might be getting recognized all the time by people who are fans but don't want to traumatize you. Isn't that a cheering thought.

I believe the traditional answer in these cases is, "Get used to it."

Have gone and done, even if I feel I am still forgetting something really obvious.
