Third Row Fandom

For no obvious reason, other than a geekish need to catalogue things, I have 6 custom friend groups for SF. The rules are that Journals go in the first one that matches where I primarily know it from. And no, I'm not posting them, because I've probably got some wrong, and I don't want to offend. I don't lock, read, or do anything based on them.

1. SF Info - things like Orbital 2008


2. Authors - Speaks for itself.


3. Oxford crew- grahamsleight, despotliz, etc.


4. London BSFA - People who regularly attend the London BSFA talks.


5. Eastercon - People I've met at Eastercon. This is the largest list.


6. Misc - Usually people who make interesting comments on a journal from the above list.

From reading the Eastercon reports of the epic trek to the curry house I realise that the Oxford crew actually have a name.

Third Row Fandom.

Look at the list again.

Weird huh.

[1]Aside:
It's been a while since any of irregular webcomic's characters displayed forbidden knowledge and 1390 threw me a little.It's one thing to have a GM shout down from on high that they are cheating, but it's quite another to be reminder that Lambert isn't actually supposed to be a hobbit, but an RPGer playing at being a hobbit. When they normally do it, all you see is the pieces talking to each other. So in the first panel I "saw" Lambert. The statement that the RPGer wasn't in the same room as the others anymore was a real jerk, as I have no mental image of what Lambert's RPGer looks like.
