akirlu | Live Journal Fluff du jour: My Clique (Reply)

I am a member of 1 clique of size 12

akirlu, brisingamen, sneerpout, bohemiancoast, bibliofile, dmw, the_gardener, fishlifter, replyhazy, billzilla, maryread, spikeiowa

Nicked from

jophan. A couple of surprises here. Not a group of people who, in Real Life, I would say make up a coherent clique, exactly, though I think they'd make for an interesting dinner party. Admittedly, the group is uniformly fannish, and even pretty uniformly fanzine fannish. But it's a little odd who isn't in my largest clique. It's actually not surprising that

libertango isn't, since he's quite deliberately kept the fannish "friends" to a minimum, but I would have thought

marykaykare and several others and I had a large overlap of shared "friends". I'm also intrigued to see that of 12 LJers who are in the clade, 8 1/2 are women. (Not to say that the female half of

fishlifter isn't all woman, but...) I think that must be an artifact of who gets on LJ, because I certainly don't think my circle of acquaintance is otherwise quite that heavily biased toward women. Quite the opposite, in fact. Anyway, a more-than-usually interesting thumbtwiddle, as LJ things go...

Update:

Oh, and another possibly-interesting feature of this clique: I've met them all in Real Life. This is somewhat less surprising than it might be for some, since of the 86 people I have thus far friended on LJ, only 31 are folks I've never met in the flesh.
