Well, there's infinitemonkeys, whom I think you know. She's top of the walk for smart & guaranteed to make me snorfle my tea in the morning. When she posts. Which isn't enough.

Smart and forcing me to think about things in a way that pushes the edge of my comfort zone? leadensky, no question. There's definitely something to be said for courteous disagreement that makes up find facts and ferret out our biases. Also, horses and good book recs.

Smart in the sense that she's probably the single most intelligent human being I'll ever meet unless maybe I have lunch with Stephen Hawking? stormrunner can write a 100,000 novel in 4 weeks and still kill you with her pinkie, while explaining quantum physics to you in words of two syllables or less.

The latest victim of my tendency to stalk people via LJ is troyswann, who is rapidly falling into Farscape. She's a painter and a teacher and a writer and funny funny funny. She writes prose equal to jeviltwin and _maayan, and makes me want to nibble her spicy brains on a regular basis. She mostly writes Stargate, but she's got two jaw-dropping Firefly stories out there.

And then there's that crazy sabine101, whose brain goes places I'd never imagine. *grin*
