i have a question about aff

So...what does being friends do here?? (I mean, besides the obvious you're cool, let's add each other.) I have all these friend requests, and I have no idea who most of the people are, and I'm wondering why they want to add me.

having more friends, means having more (hopefully) people that can see your blog posts. xD

If you're friends with writers (people who actually write more so than read), then it'll notify you if they've posted a new story-- not updates, a new story. If you scroll through the tags, then you'll notice the difference in font color-- but that'll only show up if they write more than they read. Readers will just know if you post a new story. I'm not sure if this still applies now since AFF keeps changing its layout and coding, but this is what usually happens.

hmm..
that doesn't bother me tbh..
what I cant understand is that after I accept their friend request..they never talk.. =_='
why add when you wont talk right ??

Because I admire your works, technically, I admire you. so I think most of people whom you don't know (at least yet) just want to add you, even if we are barely talk :) I hope that's a good enough reason

good question. trust me...i'm still wondering the reason/meaning behind it myself especially when people have this thing to add you randomly without having anything to say/talk before n after they add you. good luck on finding the answer to mystery of affuniverse.

I don't know either. Honestly I only add people if I talk to them on the messenger thing or outside of comments on fics. I believe you get notifications when a "friend" posts things but that's about it.
