If you liked Iceman’s Friendship is Optimal and other conversion bureau stories, you might enjoy Chatoyance’s 27 Ounces and Caelum est Conterrens. As far as personal development goes, I feel like I personally learned a lot about how to make better predictions about the world from CFAR’s Credence Game, though, um, you might prefer reading through the core sequences to playing the calibration game. I have been told that Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions is a good place to start reading through the sequences, though I personally read through most of the sequences in no particular order, as, at the time, that approach suited me more than a structured approach to reading the sequences would have.
In any case, it is great to have a new friend join us; I hope you feel welcome here.
More fanfiction? Served up by a butter yellow pegasus? Don’t mind if I do. (I spent a whole month of my summer reading 5 million words of fanfiction. It wasn’t enough, but after a solid month it is really hard to justify reading more...)
I’ll definitely give Mysterous Answers another look, and also see what that Credence Game is all about. My current methodology has been similar to browsing TVtropes: click the first article that catches my attention, then click all of the new links. I then save the links for later after I’ve browsed enough for the day. It is like a human based web crawling algorithm.

Thank you. I suspect I’ll like it here.
