The mystery of the anonymous LJ benefactor

[gwalla]

So far, grassynoel, mythos_9, brassydel, mrs_keradon, packy, nick_101, and myself have received paid LJ accounts from an unknown individual. It's tough to narrow the possibilities down: I was looking at who has listed all of the recipients as friends, but the IW community is so close-knit that that really doesn't eliminate anyone non-obvious. Also, Brassy doesn't allow her friend-of list to be viewed publically, so there's a gap in the data.

I suspect that it may be haibanerakka preparing to return, but I don't really have any evidence for that, just hope. Another possibility crossed my mind, that it was kadharonon, who has just gotten a credit card and bought herself a paid account just a day or so before the anonymous gifts, but she doesn't have packy on her friends list nor vice versa, and anyway it doesn't seem likely that she'd make these anonymous gifts.

I'm a poor college student. I only waste money on myself.

Y'all can rot in non-paid-member-ness, for all I care.

The mystery deepens since you can add grassynoel, deathstalkeriam and chireto to the list, and Chi only joined LJ yesterday?

Hmm. Seems unlikely to be Rakka in that case, as I think Chi joined after Rakka last posted, unless Rakka's been lurking.

Maybe it's Crazie. Hell, maybe it's David.

I just find this whole thing really amusing. Especially considering Mrs. K scored one, but I myself have not.

She's more adorable than I am, of course, so that might be the reason for her case. ;)

Personally, I suspect it might be someone in the IRC... except that wouldn't explain grassy...

The mystery deepens, I think...

Friends... I've found the benefactor!
It's... itswalkyfaerie!!

That didn't reveal much... perhaps the IRC-users can provide something more?

Well, congratulations to you all and respect to the faerie! :)

Actually, I know who it is. It isn't Rakka.

And no, the person asked me not to tell. So I won't.
