I have 35 people on my flist, and I'm on other people's flists (44 of them). You folks range from close friends to people I've never so much as talked to on LJ once, with a big bunch falling somewhere in between. Hello! Welcome!
But y'know, I'm shy of friending people I don't know, and I feel awkward to just jump into and comment on friendsfriends even if they've said interesting things, because I'd just be a random stranger, yes? (Comments on fic is notable exception) And, even more embarrassing is when Person A (whom I think I don't know) turns out to actually be Person B whom I do know, but using a different nom-de-net. Very confusing.
So, what I'd really appreciate is if all of you flist folks, wherever you fall on the spectrum, would come on by and say "hi" here. (Re)-introduce yourself, maybe mention how you ended up friending me, tell me something random about yourself, whatever you like. And, if you're so inclined, let me know what you'd like from me as a, um, flist-person, whether it's "Don't mind me, I'm only here for the fic" or "Don't be such a stranger, come on over to my LJ and talk to me more!" or "Actually, we don't have any fandoms in common any more and I'd like to take you off my flist now" or "Hey, the only reason I haven't been commenting here is because I felt awkward about talking to you", or whatever. It's all good! I won't get offended or freaked out by any of it, I promise.
