Comments

[alice-alaizabel.livejournal.com]

I used to have no fandom friends. The way I seem to have remedied it was that if I found a fic that I'd been following for a while, I'd start leaving nice comments. Not in an attempt to make friends, but because I am so terrible at leaving comments, and have a tendency to get overexcited, if there was a fic that I loved enough that I left a comment, it would usually be quite long and involved and gushing. And then the author would reply, thanking me for leaving such a nice comment. And that would make me feel good, because I'd made someone happy. So I would start reviewing like that regularly. And the next thing you know, you've got a new friend.

On the other hand, if you're more of a prolific fic writer than I am, then you can try responding more to any of your regular reviewers. Because you already know you have something in common; you both like the same fic!

I guess it's all about not actively setting out to make friends when you first start communicating with people, which isn't really all that helpful, I suppose.

tl;dr I ramble a lot, but come up with very few actual helpful suggestions.

Haha, when I read the first sentence, I thought you'd continue with "...and then I took an arrow in the knee" XD

But yeah, good advice. Making people feel good is a nice way to make friends. While I haven't made any fandom friends that way yet, I've started nice conversation with fanfic authors.

Oh, I'm wishing I did now.

Come to think of it, I also podfic, so the three authors I'm currently very good friends with are all people whose (massively long) fics I've taken on as projects.
