So
fox1013 got mentioned in
nostalgia_lj's big anonymous rage thread. Which is amusing, in the "hee, BNF! *points*" sort of way. And is also cute, just because Fox gets so much out of these sort of things. And now she can lord it over everyone and we can be jealous of her and her importance and how *we* have never been featured in one of those things, hmmph.
It did get me thinking, though, about the random assumption I tend to have, about there being the core group of friends who like me, and then the much larger group of people who don't give a shit about me either way. I mean, I'm low-key and not particularly loud or controversial, so it's not like I have a band of 'die die die' people, but it seems unlikely that there aren't people who have achieved a strong dislike for me anyway. But, you know, I don't know why, and I'm curious.
So, out of pure curiosity, I want to throw open this entry for criticism. It can be of my lj (maybe I think I'm cuter than I am, or use annoying infantile words) or my fic (maybe it's overrated, or maybe I write virginal porn). It can be polite-or-not as you want, constructive-or-not as you want. You can do it even if hate me, or if you actually pretty much like me. (Dude, if you feel bad about posting, you can even mix it half and half with nice things to say.)
So, yes. IP logging off, go forth and comment anonymously. I don't plan on responding to any of it (though, to be fair, I probably will spend a whole lot of time bitching about it to my friends tomorrow, if this works).
*waits for Fox to reply with "AND THEN YOU STOLE MY COOKIE, OMG" comment as soon as I post*

all about <lj user=fox1013>
14/1/05 18:00 (UTC)I like you and your fic a lot, but DS doesn't hit any buttons for me, so I'm left waiting for your occasional Bring It On pieces to read something from you since you bounced outta SV.
Anonymity is boring. No icons.

With a partner in crime.
