haikujaguar is my heart-sister and we've known each other for years. In many ways our writing careers have developed together; we enjoy encouraging each other. I love looking at her art and watching the characters and settings come to life.
ozarque is a master linguist. From her I study what I call "smarting up" -- the art of taking a complex, sophisticated topic and rendering it in terms that a reasonably careful reader can understand and apply in some useful fashion. (Contrast this with "dumbing down" which takes the same topic and reduces it to useless trivia.)
ellenmillion handles a bunch of different projects including Torn World and EMG-zine. I enjoy working with her because she's fun and she collects people with complementary talents. Plus she's a talented artist who's done a really great job illustrating some of my writing.
shadesong is a writer and one of the most successful people I know when it comes to cyberfunded creativity. I like watching to see what she'll come up with next. She also posts about her family life, so through her I've come to know her smart and bouncy daughter Elayna.
minor_architect is one of my more devoted fans, particularly when it comes to the poetry fishbowl. I love all the people who put beans on my table! Also she has a knack for giving really good prompts.
stryck keeps me on my toes and widens my perspective.
ayoub:Reply to this by saying something nice about 6 people on your friend's list. (Any six, but just 6) It doesn't matter if I know them or not. Just tell me something you like about them. When you reply to this I will say something nice about 6 more people on my list. There is no order to this, if you are on my friend's list, I like you so it will be as random as I choose. Eventually I will have said something nice about all of you. Then you post it and do the same thing on your journal. And then they post it and then they post it and eventually everyone will have had something nice said about them. It's like an LJ explosion of niceness, and as you know, I'm all about the nice! So let's have a little fun!
