*was pointed to a journal entry earlier*

Why is it, when people get pissed at me, I get called a BNF? Honestly? I'm not. I know I was randomly called one in FMA, but that was only cause I was part of the Sins, who the rest of them are active and excellent writers.

But this person knows me in FFVII. They should know that, in FFVII, I=/= BNF.

*is far too amused that this apparently was supposed to be insulting*

Uhm, maybe I'm just stupid...but...what's a BNF? ;___;

[icedark-elf.livejournal.com]

BNF-Big Name Fan. The kind of person everyone in a fandom knows.

Which is why I giggle hysterically when she called me one. Cause, yeah, not exactly well known, really.

Maybe you are but you don't know ! XD

What's a BNF?

[artimusdin.livejournal.com]

BNF = Big Name Fan.

*nods in agreement with Art*

Basically, the type of person everyone in a fandom knows/has heard of.

I soooo don't fit that description.

Hmm, I suppose you aren't. You definitely have a following, though.

See, that's the funny thing. I will never think of myself as one. >.> It just doesn't click in my head. I'm still confused why people stalk my LJ. I enjoy it, but I don't know why.

[yuenoclow.livejournal.com]

*poke* We stalk you because you're *good*, dammit! Eh, nevermind, I know how that goes. It always surprises the hell out of me when people say some of my stuff is good too.

Of course, there's also the stalking 'cause we're waiting for the next chapter of various things you've written... *cough*

Surprise BNF-hood? >_>

[iapetusneume.livejournal.com]

Every BNF I've ever known (which I don't know how I know them - I'm usually a lurker in most fandoms) has always KNOWN they were one... and hated it. Really, being a BNF gives people a lot of attention they don't necessarily want.

Being called a BNF can either be a compliment or an insult. It just depends on the context.

If you were one, I'm sure you'd know. And it's strange that someone said that for you for FFVII. It would make sense for FMA but...yeah. Not FFVII.

Because being a BNF is supposably an insult - probably after that whole issue with the buying of the laptop thingy in the HP fandom. :) You have a big enough following that you aren't a nobody in the fandom and you comment a lot, meaning people see your name a lot. ^_^

You're just cursed with the awsome writing skill and that just makes people envious. *nods* That and since you now gots yourself a Legion of fansluts you can at least say you have minions to go with this new BNF status.


*Gives you a sympathy cookie and silent cheers that most people in her fandom seem to think her writing sucks*

Oh and just because I won't see any one tomorrow.


Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes Neus Jahr!
