I am adding you! But this seemed the most likely place to tell you in spite of the reversal involved. :D

Essentially: did an interest search for C.J. Cherryh, loved your name, and knew you would be interesting, especially after seeing "Ivan Vorpatril fangirl" in your profile! (And you are a cool organised person who has a link to this handy entry in her profile; another point in your favour.)

So: hi! I'm Fer de Lance, I was trying to find some more interesting people on DW, and have found you! Hopefully we have lots in common; I already know of three things! :D
