Slashdot

I go to GenCon for a mere four days and I come back to 57 messages at Slashdot. What are you people on?

Just a polite reminder that if you want to review Order of the Phoenix in your journal please mark clearly in the title that you are reviewing and if you are spoiling the plot. There are still some of us who haven't gotten the book. In my case the local bookstore didn't order enough for its reservations.

I admit that I do add all my fans to my friends list. Except one, but I think he may have fled slashdot. If he is still around he may see this though.

Anyway I was scanning my friends list and noticed certain themes. Most of my fan/friends are also friends or fans of other fan/friends. Well that makes some sense. I find that journal comments stick in my mind more than random ones on the main pages. Also I started reading the journals of certain big names like FortKnox, ObviousGuy, and Xerithane. I think commenting there got me a few fans which grew.

My nick and my sig pretty much make it clear that I am female. I also have a large number of other presumed females on my good lists. Yes I will be more likely to add a friend if I think it is a female. Also if they have a name I can directly tie to my favorite RPG of all time, Shadowrun.

This post had no purpose other than to throw out some ideas I've had nagging me for a while.

I acquired my first freak recently. Everyone give pcs305 a hand, I'm flattered that people actually dislike me enough to add me as a foe.
Which got me thinking, do people actually like the friend/foe system. What do people think of the new friend of friend, foe of friend?
