Creep factor?

(Anonymous) 2014-11-23 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's suppose you had a close online friend, and because you were close enough you knew their real name. Over the years you lost touch, but now thanks to Facebook, you can possibly find and friend them again. Is that crossing a fandom-RL line? I mean, it did bother me a bit when someone from a fansite found my FB and added me, but in that particular instance we really had never even really spoken before, so it was like when someone friends you because they go to the same college. Is it different when you were friends with the person, or is it still weird?

Depends, I've never gotten that close to a fandom friend, but I generally like to keep my irl and fandom lives separate.

Would you talk to them if you friended them? If no, you should probably leave it.

No, I don't think it's weird at all. I mean, they may not want starting to interact with you again, but that's a different matter and of course it isn't necessarily the case.

If you were close, I see absolutely nothing wrong with friending them on FB or anywhere else (as long as all you had to do was Google their name rather than doing some complicated stalking).

I wouldn't have added you per se, but just looking someone up wouldn't have bothered me.

I get random people asking me to add them on facebook all the time, when I am basicly inactive on there. So I wouldn't think much of it if a fandom friend wanted to add me, even if it had been a while.

On the other hand, I'd never add someone on FB these days without asking them first.

Most of my FB friends I met through one mutual interest or another. I don't see anything wrong with it per se.

For me? Yes, I'd be creeped out. Facebook is for real life connections, not online friends - at least for me. I definitely don't want to mix those two, and I'd feel weird if a random internet friend from years ago added me.

Ummm... that's the whole fucking point of Facebook for me. To keep in touch with old online friends. o_O

I've had several friends from fandom contact me on Facebook. It's not creepy.
