I'm boooored. *pokes the internet* Somebody entertain meeee! I hate work. Haaaaate!

[ETA] I tried doing that "You know you're reading a story by me thing, and so far I've come up with:

1. It's more than probably either slash, or pre-slashy gennishness;
2. It will involve people who, canonically, either hate each other's guts, or don't have any actual interaction at all;
3. Either that, or Weasleys and/or that Lee Jordan fellow;
4. Woobification of Big Dangerous characters likely occurs;
5. If it's het, it's creepy;
6. It's dialogue-heavy;
7. There's lots of attempts at wit, or at the very least lines that are all but jumping up and down, waving their arms and shouting "QUOTE ME OMG QUOTE MEEEE WHY WON'T YOU QUOTE ME I'M FUNNY AREN'T I?";
8. There will be a decided lack of porn;
9. If there is porn, it's all wannabe-literary;
10. There's almost a year between the "start" date in the headers and when it's actually posted.

Anyone else wanna add something? :D [/ETA]

[ETA2] Oh, god. Today's Icon Of The Day:

So fucking true.

And why are my co-workers talking about "the real cheese"? I think perhaps I need to brush up on my French. o_O [/ETA2]

The weird thing is my fandom friends and my Uni friends are so similar. Most of my female friends are childfree, most of the guys gentle and all very comfortable around women, and all genders have a seriously black sense of humour. The politics varies a lot fiscally, but when it comes to human rights all are fiercely liberal, which is what matters to me. And I honest to God can't see any differences in the depth of affection. I love all my good friends very much, and anyone who thinks loving someone you've never laid eyes on is freaky can go be bored with their *usual* social circle. Which isn't enriched by being totally international and selected from the potential millions.

That's the thing, about online. The numbers are so vast, that you can truly meet like minds. IRL, you just have a struggle meeting that volume, that fast.

See, exactly, that last bit. I have a weird, picky taste in friends, and I don't understand why I should be satisfied with people I meet through geographical coincidence, because we happen to work in the same place, or go to the same place, or whatnot. Sure, you can meet good friends that way, but why limit yourself to that?
