I lurked at twop for a long time, maybe a year, before I ever registered and posted. That was mostly in the Buffy section, probably starting around season 5. Then I lurked on lj for a long time. I still have a bunch of people's lj's bookmarked, from when I used to read them a lot but didn't have one of my own. Then shaggirl gave me an invite code in April of 2003, as part of an anvil_falls reboot, and here I am.
