liz_marcs | Administrivia: Adding to and trimming from FList

I've had a little bit of churning over the past few months on my FList, y'know, just the regular friend/unfriend kind of thing as interests diverge, or I've said something that pissed people off, and all of that.

I, of course, have done nothing by way of cleaning up my own FList since I started this thing waaaaay back in 2004.

I'm in the midst of a little bit of a FList trim, but as usual I seem to be adding more people than actually cutting. Gah! Typical. *facepalm*

Side note: A big thank you to people who've friended me over the past few months (and days, as it turns out). I'm sorry I haven't responded, but I've been hiding from doing this bit of administrative work since, oh, September 2006.

Procrastination, thy name is Liz. ^_^

Part of it is that, in some cases, I've been hesitant to add people because I have no idea who some of the people friending me are and why, but mostly it's procrastination.

Just FYI, in general, I'm cutting the LJs:

of people who haven't posted to their LJ in the past few months (or at all!)
where I can't tell why they friended me
of people who have already unfriended me for whatever reason
are clearly spam LJs, commercial LJs, or serial frienders

I suspect this is going to take me until Sunday.

If I've unfriended you, please know:

It's not personal.
I may have done it by accident, in which case let me know and I'll add you back onto the FList.
It's because I didn't see any recent entries on your LJ, in which case, again, let me know and I'll add you back onto the FList.

If you want a quick check on whether or not I've unfriended you, you can check out Joule. If I have unfriended you, I'll probably show up on either Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

(Like I said, this is gonna take a little bit.)

Note that if you're already friended, some of you might see yourselves getting friended again. That's because I hit modify by accident or something.

Let me stress one thing: Roughly 95% of this LJ is not under a FLock of any kind. I only FLock the odd RL stuff I post here and the occasional entry where I feel like putting on my fandom wanky pants so I can rant.

In short, you're not going to be missing a whole hell of a lot in the FLocked posts if you get cut. I swear.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me. And I apologize for any inconvenience.

ETA: I've tried 23 times to post this stupid thing to LJ and I couldn't. At long last, success!

ETA Electric Boogalo: Even if you're not on my FList, you are of course more than welcome to hang out here (and comment, too). If I make a public post, then I better be able to take my lumps, both good and bad, right? Just clearing up that bit of confusion. Sorry.

Thanks muchly for the beer. The one thing that never ceases to amaze me about this fandom is how big it actually is. I've been around for a couple of years now, and until this recent kerfluffle there was a whole corner of fandom that I didn't even know existed. And they write! And it's really good fic! And they also rec even more really good fic! So now I have some more really awesome stuff to read and comment on. Very cool.

Good to meet ya, hon!

Check out my FList, too. It's, ummm, varied and it's not universally fandom, but there's a lot of Jossverse fandomers there. With Jossverse fanfic, I've got everyone from gen, to het, to slash covering just about all characters and all ships.

I'm a little universal in my reading. Heee!

Going from the icon, I'm gonna say you're a Spike fan. I don't write a lot of Spike (because he's one character I can't get a hold of in a satisfactory manner), but that's slowly changing since I'm working on two fics where he's a main character.

*fingers crossed*

Will do. I'm also pretty universal in what I read. About the only things I don't touch very often or at all are the AU things and anything incestuous (squicks me). Oh, and Spike/William just throws me for a loop, so I don't usually go there either.

I do like Spike a lot, mostly because I think that he's an interesting character and there are some writers who do such an amazing job of exploring him. If I had to pick a favorite character, it would probably be a toss up between Dawn, Tara, and Anya, just because I think that they were all kind of underused in canon and so there's so much room for fandom to play with them. That being said, I also really like most of the other characters as well, (other than Riley, who I never liked). In general, I just think that nearly all of the Jossverse characters have so many facets and depths that were never explored as deeply onscreen as we get to seem them explored in fandom, which would be why I adore fanfic.

Having tried, and failed, to write myself, I can see where Spike would be a hard character to get a good grip on. He's complex as all hell, and in a lot of ways his "voice" changed more than any of the other characters' voices did during the course of the show. And I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and look forward to reading the fics in question.

*Off to check out your flist*
