With trepidation ...

As seen on LJ from theregoesyamum and lareinenoire:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want--good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

OK, since I'm feeling in a good LJ-posting mood after finally finishing a chapter of NTLJ -- I have. Whether this is a good idea or not remains to be seen. :)

More an impression than a memory. You strike me as incredibly clever. I often imagine you sitting in a pub with a pint in your hands, winning arguments!

Thank you! First part's true anyway. :) (Unfortunately I'm one of those sad gits who is far more fluent and communicative with the written word than with the spoken.)

I have many memories of coming across your reviews over the last couple of years and either thinking "Curse you! You've sussed me!" ;) or "Bugger! He's got a point there! I'll have to write something into the next chapter to explain that!" ;) I both dread and anticipate your reviews! :)

Ah. In that case, I think the appropriate words here are "Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!" :)

At the risk of sounding very egotistical, one that stood out was a review of "House of Flying Artichokes" on Fiction Alley - you're the only person who ever noticed what Snape's research into emetics and antianalgesics would actually entail. Now that's what I call an eye for details. And I'd convinced myself no-one would notice...

Might just be that people don't comment about them. I've thrown in little asides in the Tonks fic that I thought everybody had missed (like a Hitchcock-film-style view of the Trio in long shot) and had people say much later "oh yeah, I noticed that". Right. :) So I try to mention things like that in reviews (and as I recall House of Flying Artichokes had a lot of neat little asides of that kind).

I suppose it takes one to know one - you have a nice line in quirky asides, as I recall...
