You are a grown up. There are precious few of those here at LJ. And, you have a good sense of humor (also kid of rare). And you like food and talking about food. I'm a sucker for the food porn.
Initially because we knew a lot of the same people; but now, because we seem to be interested in a lot of the same things and your opinion is always interesting and well-thought-out.
You made an interesting reply to something I said in raggedrose's comments, and I was intrigued by your userinfo; Orthodox Jewish ("hair covering and everything") and slashfic? Tell me more! And, the first post I read was foodporn, so I was hooked.
inititally because I fondly remembered your XF fic - then because I enjoyed learning more about you the person! in the process, you've provided me with an interesting/engaging look at your life, which is quite different from mine on the surface.
Because you are one of the best things I remember about local fandom; you're compassionate, articulate devout; you write well and thoughtfully; and you have a deliciously perverse worldview in your fanfic.
I was initially drawn in by the food and pakua posts. I'm intrigued by religious things and I enjoy reading about that aspect of your life. Your life is so wildly different than mine, but in many ways the same that it's always interesting to read what you're posting.
I initially friended you because I'd always been curious about the person behind your nickname. Over the past few months, I've developed an affectionate curiosity about your life.

Date: 2005-05-24 01:07 pm (UTC)Because I was reading your stories before I knew that LJ even existed.
Because you consistently have interesting insights into the more obscure pockets of Potterverse.
Because this is the best way I know to keep up with your writing, both meta and fic.
