Another take on that odd writing meme going around:
What kind of person do you think I am from my LJ, if that's how you know me? Or, alternately, if you know me off my LJ as well, how does me off-LJ differ from me on-LJ?
I figure this is less puzzling than figuring it out from people's fiction. Also, the divide or the odd shift between the written word and the spoken always interests me. I keep finding that when I meet LJ people in RL, they feel different from what I expected, but they still sound exactly like their LJ. It's just that my perception was shifted somewhat, and when I meet them, it gets realigned or something.

It was really interesting reading your book after I'd met you, because I could hear your voice in my head rewading it out loud.
