LJ friends are not less real to me then my RL friends
I feel the same way. It's so gratifying to meet and talk to people who share your obsessions interests and whom you otherwise wouldn't have an opportunity to meet in person. And I second what koalathebear, shadowserenity and winterspel said.
There is some quality of sincerity about LJ. In a way I like the fact that I don’t really know what facial features/bodily parameters my LJ friends have.
Yes. I find it much easier to be frank on the internet than in real life (except for times when things can be easily misinterpreted).
I've been fortunate enough to meet two good fandom friends in person. I was nervous, naturally, but then I kept telling myself, "they already met your brain, don't worry about the rest." And speaking of meeting in real life, it's so weird to talk about fandom things outside the internet. Sort of an out of body experience, actually.
