Hello, unknown people

[rachelmanija]

Would the people who started reading this journal recently, or who only lurk, or who have no LJ account, or who I don't know for whatever reason (you know who you are) care to introduce themselves? If you don't have an account, you can comment by clicking on "comment," then clicking "anonymous," then manually signing your name or pseudonym at the bottom of the post.

You may answer any or all of the following questions and suggestions: Who are you? What are our common interests? How did you come across my journal? Recommend to me a book, a movie, a manga, a comic book, an anime, a TV show, a place or country to visit, and/or musical artist, with an explanation of why you like it and why you think I might like it.

Hi

[ellarien]

I'm a lurker, reader, would-be writer; also a Rachel, as it happens. I haven't friended you yet, but we have several friends in common and I look in from time to time.
Common interests:
Barbara Hambly, C. J. Cherryh, Fantasy, Georgette Heyer, Patricia McKillip, Robin McKinley, Science Fiction, Steven Brust, Writing.

If you like Cherryh's SF as well as fantasy, might I suggest Kristine Smith as an author worth checking out? She has interesting humanoid aliens and intricate plots with lots of undercurrents. Also the Liaden novels of Sharon Lee and Steve Miller -- space opera with a distinct regency flavour.
