Rach, you're right about people inevitably falling into groups. It's just in our nature - cats are solitary creatures, but dogs and humans need the support of a group to survive. Not a bad thing, just...the way it is.
The only time I dislike cliques is when they're deliberately exclusionary. I don't like the idea of people setting themselves up as being smarter or cooler or better in some way than others. But those aren't the kind of groups you'd belong to anyway. ;)
And I think it's great that you invite yourself into groups. You add so much to peoples' lives...who wouldn't welcome you with open arms?
Gah, I was just thinking about this recently, when someone dropped off my flist. I didn't know them that well, and it doesn't really matter, but of course I couldn't help but think: why? Do I offend? Do I bore? Etc.
I think about it a lot with the dear KA folk, especially, since I'm around here more than I am around there lately. And most of what I do here is fic. I get worried sometimes that they don't all appreciate porny fic talk all the time. But then again, I guess they would leave if they didn't. Or else they don't really read me, which is fine too. ;-)
But I wouldn't worry about it, luv. Write what you want to write. It's *your* journal!
