This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
Nah. I think it is F2F habits just bleeding over in the online world. In the real world, going up to a stranger and tapping them on the shoulder to ask them a question has a certain weight to it that sometimes people unconsciously carry over...
I think.
Am I the only asshole in the world that just emails random people to find shit out when I'm curious? Is this a faux pas?
I do it. When it's a stranger, I'm polite, but if I'm genuinely interested and their e-mail is public, I don't think it's a problem.
Edit: After all, I put my e-mail on my fic site so people can do exactly the same thing. I do it less often in meatspace, though I have been known to go up to people and just ask stuff, especially when the setting's not *entirely* random (say, classroom).

But if they put their email up on their site, isn't it an "ask me how!"?
Totally. Someone emails my private address i don't know, different kettle of fish. My main address is fine.
As if anyone ever mails me cold, but you get the picture...
Ummm... Am I the only one for whom that last link is dead dead dead?
I want that library in my house.

Oh, hell, yeah. I don't think my college library was that cool.
Most, if not all, Buffistas would like a house with that library. We skew towards both knowledge and furniture/architectural porn.
It would be handy for large creatures to fight.
In the series, not your house.
At least I don't think so...
Not all.
