How often do you change your bio?
How do you use tags? No, this one's not you personally. I really don't get how to use them or what they're for.
How do you get to your journal—is it in your favorites? Is the link there your “recent entries” page, your user page, or your “my lj” page, or what?
Why do you have yourself friended?
Do you ever have trouble finding the button to click to add someone’s post to your memories?
How often do you check your flist to see if someone’s added you?
Do you feel it’s impolite to have long conversations with someone on someone else’s journal?
Do you get annoyed when someone makes a comment just to correct a grammatical error, or makes a comment that’s only one word, or seems pointless to you?
How do you spell the gerund form of rec and beta?

General fandom

What did they use to put the tattoo on David Boreanaz’s back? Do you think they worried about getting it in the same place every time? And who gets the job of applying it, anyway?
Did David Boreanaz ever have a back double?
How tall is Nicholas Brendon? Okay now, how tall is he for real?
Am I the only slathering B/A fangirl who doesn’t think much of the episode IWRY?
Are there any fics out there about Anne (formerly Lily, formerly Chantarelle)?
Did anyone besides me really love Kate Lockley?
What DVD commentary do you like the best?
What’s J. Augest Richards doing these days? Alexis Denisof?

Joss Whedon

Why do some people hate Joss Whedon?
Whatever happened to the Ripper spin off?
Is there even the remote possibility of a Faith spin-off?
Is there even the remote possibility of the cartoon?
Did Serenity make enough money, or not?
I want someone explain comic books to me. I was really into X-men comics in preteen years, but one of the reasons I kind of dropped it was because I got confused (also, I got too tall to be comfortable sexing up with Wolverine and realized I would never have boobs like Rogue's. When you're 11, you still want boobs like Rogue's, even though you figure out by 12 NO ONE has boobs like Rogue's. Or even wants boobs like Rogue's, because ugh, back pain). There seemed to be so many different series all going on at once; I couldn't keep them straight. I didn't get the difference between Uncanny, Astonishing, and Amazing. Isn't there like . . . a diagram for these things?

Thank you for your explanation about tags. I still don't really get all the lj do-dads. I should just sit down and have me a good read of the FAQ. But seriously, what's the fun in that, when I can make you do the work for me?

So I can use my own entries on my reading-list as a marker.

That's what I thought. I get so lost on my flist, and I wondered whether friending yourself helped at all. Or whether it was just, you know, a little personal titillation to see yourself on your flist and know that you're your own friend who loves you very very much.

It's usually fairly clear whether she or he does or not.

Hadn't thought about it that way. I think I have phobias about being rude. But I myself love it when other people get in discussions on my journal. Then again I have voyeuristic kinks so it's hardly surprising.

I'd probably wonder what's up that spurred them to choose to make that comment and say nothing else.

It's because they loved your story so much they couldn't stand to see a typo blemish it. And because they think you're such a genius, like Spock whoa mind meld, they also think that you percieve this immediately and that no other comment is required. Because we're good enough; we're smart enough, and doggoneit, people like our fanfic.
