About making friends through fandom

[alasse_irena]

I know a lot of people, both here and on Tumblr (and in other spheres, I guess), who have made close friends through online fandom.

I am interested, for Reasons, in hearing something about how you made these friendships, or, if you've never made a close friendship online, if you have any thoughts about why not? (Whether that's why you didn't seek them out in the first place, or why they never really clicked for you.)

I am very interested in online social processes. Come talk in my comments about how you make friends!

Don't worry, I'm plenty old enough to remember IRC! =P
