Dear Wise Flist...

Yep.. I'm back again seeking advice on other fandom places to hangout.

I'm not really a Twitter gal and I don't think Tumblr is for me either. So now I'm considering Facebook. I've had no interest in getting a Facebook before now because, to be honest, real life stuff really doesn't interest me so much - except in real life of course. (and that's not to say I don't like hearing about YOUR rl stuff.. it's just I don't really want to follow rl friends to hear what they're up to...)

So.

I'm thinking a fandom Facebook page. Where I might most stuff a bit like on LJ. (vids etc. maybe occasional personal stuff) My thinking is this: the thing I enjoy most about fandom is connecting with other people who are into the same thing. Chatting, sharing creative works etc. But I realise that not everyone is on LJ. In fact I keep being told "I don't do LJ because it's too complicated". Which I agree with. Until you get to know it that is.

So. I'm curious if anyone else does this. Have a fandom named Facebook? I'm pretty keen to keep my RL and fandom life separate - mainly because I would hate for my students to ever find me.

I have a very limited knowledge of Facebook so I don't really know how it works. Though I understand you can create a community as well as a personal page. Ack! I am so internet challenged!

Advice?

(and um... if I did get a FB is it easy to find like minded peeps?)

Sorry for the lame questions..

I just read all the comments here and since I don't know anything about face book, it seems I also haven't missed anything. ;)

So, nothing lame about your questions. I learned something, too. :)

I just saw that ETV has a facebook page now. Interesting timing... ;)

I can see how that might be a good way to advertise and reach people. I mean, I can see how FB would suit some people and I honestly thought there might have been more fandom type stuff going on over there. I know there's a Supernatural community - so I thought there might have been other places to hang out. But I'd rather get to know people and have a sense of community.

It also reminds me I haven't visited EVT for ages... I should get over there.

Yeah - it's been an interesting insight I think. And I agree... looks like we aren't missing out on much.

Definitely doesn't sound like me. I'm happy here anyway. :)
