I've met one other Sounisian in person, at a book signing, and that was super fun (especially as we were both a little shy and offered each other encouragement to get our pictures taken with MWT). :)
Most of the other QT fans I know are people I recommended the books to (yay converts!), and I've noticed a really satisfying ripple effect over the years, as I've met friends-of-friends(-of-friends) who had the books recommended to them in turn. Recently, I've seen a younger generation of readers inducted too. A younger sibling of one of my friends just texted me out of the blue the other day to talk about TaT (she'd read it before the rest of her family and was dying to discuss it with someone), and that made me SO happy. I remember wanting someone to get excited about books with me when I was younger, and it dawned on me that I get to be that person to the younger people in my life now.
