I know, it is definitely hard to think of an excuse. I think most of the times I've messaged someone out of nowhere it's been of the "i read this thing and you should read it too!" variety or if I'm looking for a certain type of fic rec for myself... Maybe I could fold this into my fandom goal of "being more involved" and message people at random, because it's always fun to receive an unexpected message! XD
