For the record, my primary pre-LJ fandom was Les Miserables (off the novel) and was based on web sites and Diaryland, followed by M*A*S*H, which was based on y!groups.
I am still a little weirded out that suddenly I'm clicking the radio button for a big fandom. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME?
I was kind of peripherally on Le Café; I lurked for a long time, I think, and probably posted about five times in my life. I went by "spirrogg" in those days, and published all of about four (deeply mediocre) stories to ff.net, which later got archived on the LMFFI. This was all about... oh, five years ago? Six?
But I definitely know who you are, although I'm not sure we ever interacted directly. I remember loving lots of your fic--you wrote "Corner of the Sky," right? And "The Blood of the Martyrs"?
I'm still working on both of those - research is hell when you actually care. I'm only just now (five years later? nearly?) at the point to getting Feuilly a job that doesn't involve breaking and entering. And I'm bogged down mostly with figuring out how/when he should care about the Greek War of Independence. Never let a poli sci geek get anywhere near fandoms where canon is thoroughly political. Or a stickler for historical accuracy read anything written by Victor Hugo.
It's always interesting to see old Le Café people around, just to see where they've gone fandom-wise in the intervening years.
