Snowflake Challenge #5 - Expand Your Circle

Challenge #5 - Comment to someone you haven't ever interacted with before or introduce yourself to someone you've briefly interacted with and friend/follow them. Afterwards, leave a comment in this post with the equivalent of "I did it!"

One thing I appreciate about this challenge is that it's a low-pressure way to interact with people. I tend to be a lurker more than a commenter, especially in the last few years, and it's been nice to reach out a little more. I've been trying to be more active with my comment replies on other sites as well. And I actually have friended/followed somebody new this month!

[Yes, I even replied politely to the person who commented on a story post on another site with a TLDR version of 'I didn't read this story, but I checked the reviews, and let me tell you why your crossover concept is badly done, and why this character you didn't feature who's actually not the protagonist of either canon would have totally rendered this worldbuilding idea I don't like irrelevant and you should have known that .... oh, but do keep writing, I like your OTHER stories!' .... *sigh*]

We'll see if I can maintain that energy going forward ....
