Question of the Day - Part 4
RokofAges75:
That's so true, Mare. Almost all of my pre-2007 fanfic friends I met by exchanging feedback through email, which led to IM conversations and friendships that went beyond the reader/writer relationship. I started a forum for my site in November 2006, and shortly after that, this forum was created and I joined here, and I've made a lot more friends through both, as well as Twitter. Forums and social media sites make it so much easier to have discussions with groups of people, not just one on one through email or IM, so I've made a lot of connections through mutual friends. And with big BSB events like the cruise and most fans being older and able to travel farther for shows, it's become easier to meet in person and have a friendship outside of the internet as well.

This is very true too. 00Carter is how I got to know you, Mel, Kelly, Dee, and Nijntje. I met Rose the same way, just through Code Blue a year or so earlier. The only co-writers I really knew before that were Sarah, Gozde, and Veronica, from reading each other's stories or hosting them on my site.

I bonded with Julilly over our quest to stop Tanja from plagiarizing all our stories LOL. That was right around the same time this forum was started. Good times!
Sakabelle:
Met most of them through the forum here and through reviews on the site. Either by talking with you guys on here or opening a dialogue through reading/reviewing stories. As I mentioned in my last post that's how I became friends with Darby - because she was reading My Happy Ending and I was reading Casual! And the same with Dani I was reading Unsuspecting and she was reading my stories.
And of course there is twitter where I've been able to talk more with people. I've had a couple of people seek me out on twitter because they liked my stories and have become really good friends with them. I think twitter is really good for that sort of communication.
