don't ask what communities I was surfing today, you don't want to know
Dear anyone new to any fandom,
If you have a question about something, please look it up on Google before you ask. I mean, seriously? All asking does is make you look kind of dumb... and that's not a good idea. Everyone knows that first impressions are extremely important in this world. A lot of people won't give you a second chance if you start out badly. Sure as Hell employers won't when you go for interviews. I don't care how young you are, if you're smart enough to type up a post in LiveJournal, you're smart enough to find Google and type your same question into the keyword box.
Hell, you're even more likely to get a better and more thorough answer through Google. You might even learn more than you'd originally asked for and be able to show off when you go join that community. Don't you think people would love to see a newbie who could come in and say "so I read on [site] that X is not only ____ but also ___, isn't that fascinating?" instead of "is X ____?"
It may sound incredible to you, but intellegence will never go out of style! Plus you'll be less likely to regret your actions later on, when you become older and wiser.
Sincerely,
nutmeg
P.S. Typing to be understood is also a good thing. People can't help you if they don't know what you're saying.

Although a "letterstonoone"-type community could be quite fun. >.>
