Ask me questions

[dolorosa_12]

Hello to all the new people I've met through st_aurafina's friending meme! (Anyone who has not seen the meme yet, click on the image below to participate.)



This segues nicely into something I had been planning to do anyway: a January talking meme where I write each day on a topic suggested by one of my Dreamwidth friends. New people and long-term people from my circle, are there any topics you've wanted me to talk about? If so, suggest those topics in the comments here, and I will assign each topic to one of the days in January.

If it helps, I'm very happy to talk about anything covered in my most recent intro post, any of my tags (so, if one of the tags I use has always baffled you, now's the time to ask for clarification), or feel free to look through my Ao3 profile and ask me about my own fics, or the fandoms of any fics I've bookmarked or been given as exchange presents.

I've been asking everyone the same thing for this: January 10 is Tu BiShvat, the Jewish New Year of the Trees. So could you talk about a meaningful tree on that day?

Or if that's too specific just talk about nature in general.

Which reminds me that I should tell you that I love all your photos from your walks and such! They are so pretty and make me nostalgic for when I lived in Cambridge.

Oh, what a fabulous question! I can certainly talk about that — the trouble will be narrowing it down to just one tree. (I spent most of my childhood up trees.)

I'm glad you enjoy my photos from out and about in Cambridge. I don't own a car or know how to drive, and I don't cycle. This means that I walk everywhere, and I really appreciate that I have such a beautiful city to walk around in. I'm glad they spark happy memories for you.

Well I certainly won't mind if you write about more than one tree!

Cambridge does seem like a particularly walkable and pretty city. I miss it.

Multiple trees it is, then!
