Do not panic!

*deep breath*

I'm being freaked out by my FList. Or, more specifically, the number of people who have added me. I mean, it's just as well I don't normally check on this, because, yes, it freaks me out. I mean, my current FList is 59. (Which is really a tad big. I don't have the heart to chuck anyone off, so instead, I'm just not adding people. In turn, this makes me feel... kinda rude about not friending back. But I can't. I'll have no time, and... I'll end up just skimming or avoiding LJ.)

I just realised that 27 have added me to their lists since November. 27!!! (I'd like to point out to everyone that, yes, my LJ really is this boring normally. If you're just here for the fic, I post all the finished Sorkin stuff to [livejournal.com profile] sn100 and [livejournal.com profile] inthetallgrass, so you're really not missing anything if you're on those LJs.)

I'm going to stop thinking about this now. I have promised six fics and I shall deliver. (Taxfic challenge, Te's pollen sex challenge, the flight challenge, Jenn's QaF fic, Signe's birthday fic, and Shelley's longfic.) If I'm going to sit here and panic, we'll at least make it panicking about something useful.

Oh, before I forget, [livejournal.com profile] rosenho posted an interesting little tidbit on her Fraud Muse, that little voice in the back of your head that makes you doubt your fannish abilities. I just realised that mine is Adam Brody.

Hee! You're funny.

The only worry I have when someone new friends me is wondering if they *really* want me to friend them back. Because if I don't? They'll get to see all my fic, plus the occasional purely fandom-related post that I make public. Everything else is locked.

If I *do* friend them back, then they're subjected to whatever randomness I happen to post on a daily basis. But since my LJ is locked, they won't really know this in advance...it's a quandary. But so far every time someone has friended me and I've asked them, they want to be friended back. *shrugs*
