How should I react to getting a fan?

thats up to bạn really..
now that we have a tường i think its okay to say "thanks for being a fan" but i PERSONALLY feel thats a bit forced and meaningless. i see people saying "thx 4 the add" and that takes less than 2 giây to type and i dont feel it really says anything. its different for people bạn have interacted with- maybe they left a nice bình luận on your submission hoặc sent bạn a prop!? then i think its nice to say something on their wall.
NEVER give các điểm thưởng for being a fan..grrrrr it makes các điểm thưởng meaningless.

as for fanning them back- some people automatically người hâm mộ bạn back, some dont, some just người hâm mộ in hopes of bạn adding them back because they feel a high fancount means something. let me tell bạn it doesnt!
I am INCREDIBLY AWESOME....SUPER MEGA AWESOME and yet i dont have a lot of những người hâm mộ (or huy chương for that matter...but still *points at self* AWESOME)

so it is your choice really. personally i will add people who i have interacted with hoặc who like a lot of the same stuff i do.
if they type lyk dis 4 sho i wont add them- no matter how nice they seem. if i see they are a member of only twilight, bieber, ngẫu nhiên spot and other stuff i dont care for, i will not add them.

bạn seem sane and are on the etiquette spot AND type well (sheesh bạn added apostrophes and capitals!!!!! go you!!!) so i would người hâm mộ bạn back!

bạn should also consider that if bạn like to filter your tường hoặc chat (is the chat still even there? its always turned off) hoặc like looking at scores on câu đố the những người hâm mộ bạn see are the people "youre a người hâm mộ of" so bạn might want to be choosy :P
