This seemed the closest forum for posting this. I do have a Facebook account but I only signed up for it, years ago, when I was doing research on fan responses and fanfictions and saw that some people had info on sites like "Live Journal" and such. So, I also got a FB account. I don't use it for anything else (no friends, postings, messaging). I was thinking of joining some of the groups that have submission calls advertised.
My question is: if you belong to these groups for the info but don't have friends (although your friend list may just not be visible), etc. can that be a problem with any publishers down the line not wanting to take a chance on you. I'm not involved in self-publishing at the moment--just looking at traditional), but even so...and it's possible I might be at some point, or involved with hybrid, etc. So is it a potential problem in any way to join these FB groups not as an active FB person but just to see the calls?
