Nordiske fan-nyheter i ny drakt

[livejournal]

User eve_n_furter referenced to your post from Nordiske fan-nyheter i ny drakt saying: [...] , så skal jeg legge journalen til i feeden. Her kan dere lese mer om feeden og kriteriene [...]

Hey, uhm, I like this initiative, but I'm a tad confused as to why my journal(s) (I see dobbeltgjenger has been added as well) have been added :x

I do not write any fandom related posts (... that I am aware of?), and while my profile may include the word "fandom", it also has "not into" in front of it ;)

Most of my posts are daily babbles about my personal life. Hopefully these posts won't clutter up your feed? Or does the feed only feature posts from RSS feeds perhaps? Your intro is a bit unclear, though normally you'll be able to see my public (pretty much all my posts are public) posts on your flist after having added me... so this should apply for the feed as well.

Thanks for asking! I guess I read the "I like to babble about films I see, and games I play." and stopped there, just before the "I'm not into fandom."-part. I'm sorry for being to hasty here, and be assured: your journals has really just been added for the "film- and games-babble". I'll remove your journals from the feed asap. And again, sorry for the inconvienience!

Haha, no worries 8D;

It is true, I do occasionally babble about films and games (and other things, like, don't get me started on Disneyland because I could go on and on and on :] ....), but they are rarely new films and games, and more often than not, things general fandom don't care about.

Good to hear! I'm not trying to annoy people on purpose, I'm just trying to make a pretty bouquet of fan-blogs and resources. :D

And to the "rare" interests: what you are talking about is exactly why I'm making this feed and putting together blogs and journals from what seems like opposite sides of fandom. The larger fandoms can fend for themselves, also in the Nordics, but the "only" cosplayer on Island, the faeroese book-blogger, the lone Sam-in-drag-lover in Norrbotn, the MUNCLE-fan in Åland or me, the sole slash-writer in "Hellfjord": we need friends too. ;) And we have a great deal in common, in spite of our strange interests. To me, finding the scandafandom community felt like coming home, even if I'm all alone in most of my fandoms. And as you can guess, we are not there to build fences around our take on fandom, we're there to help and inspire each other with each other's surprising and awesome novel ideas about fun and fannish stuff
