I've got nothing of the Flash Girls. They're like Boiled in Lead: I'm aware of their existence, have read some of their lyrics, and have never actually heard them.
I didn't come to Emma Bull through War for the Oaks, either, which probably has something to do with it. I encountered Will Shetterly's Elsewhere and Nevernever in early high school, and branched out into Emma Bull's Finder and John M. Ford's The Last Hot Time shortly after. Acquired most of the Liavek anthologies primarily for the Pamela Dean. And eventually picked up War for the Oaks because I needed something to read on the flight to Italy, and discovered that pretty much everyone I knew had read that one first. Go figure.
