Am I a BNF?

out_thereI'm easily swayed...
The BNF Litmus Test...
1. They get name-dropped.
No. Unless someone's commenting on my LJ, or replying to one of my comments, my name doesn't really get mentioned.
2. Disproportionate influence over what is written in the fandom.
No, which is probably just as well. I have cravings for odd fics.
3. Websites.
Well, I have an old Geocities one, but considering I don't even upkeep it anymore, that should probably be a no.
4. Recs and fawning.
Well, I rec a lot of stuff, but I don't think that's what they mean. So, no.
5. They know other BNFs.
I know of other BNFs, and occasionally even send feedback/comments to them, but we're generally not on speaking terms.
Hence, I'm definitely not a BNF. And actually, I'm pretty darn happy with that. I like being able to drop in when I want to, read some good fic, and lurk in my relatively private little section of fandom with friends. Heh. I live my online life the same way I live my offline life. Extremely selfish. *g*
