   Personally, I think writing is writing and her writing on the net counts. I don't think "net.notariety" is any different than apahacking or conrunning, in terms of fannish activity. Whether anyone deserves to be GoH because of any particular activity is up to the concoms of Greater Fandom.

   I would tend to look askance at the fan who's focussed all their activities into one area of fandom, whether it's fanzines, masquerade costuming, or conrunning. On the other hand, often the fan who's mostly known as, say, a fanzine fan, has in fact quietly helped out in a variety of other areas. So a concom has to look twice, ask around, and gather information judiciously.
