I don't know the cause/effect order, but have non bandom bands historically been as social networking happy?
It seems like a lot of the sense of personal connection comes out of that relationship. And, of course this might just be my perception, it seems like MCR, FOB, AFP, etc. were some of the early adopters of MySpace (and have eagerly adopted each new permutation). I'm pretty sure, actually, that the contracts of Decaydance bands specify that they'll be paying less of X because they will be (and are expected to be) doing so much free promotion/networking themselves.

One of my cousins is in a band that's sort of on the edges of bandom. Note to all: if you ever have the idle thought, "I wonder if there's fic about my cousin," DO NOT GOOGLE. Oh, dear.
I find the gym so deeply boring.
I've started doing sudoku on my phone when I'm on the bike. So far it makes the time pass more quickly.
The use of "actionable" to me "able to be acted on" has become depressingly common. It makes me want to sue someone.
Which is ironic, because in a legal context "actionable" means able to be sued for.
I figured that Ginger was making a funny.
Isn't there figure skating RPF?
I've run across an SGA AU that featured real-life figure skaters as characters.
I used to really dislike RPF, but then I read some Baseball RPF that was...hard to just ignore because it was so well written and more recently, I read some Doctor Who RPF that I thought was so spot on, it could real.
