And as most of you also know, several, how shall we say, fictional schools are included in LJ's database. (Now how'd that happen?) Some people (we'll call them the Smart Paranoid People) include only the fictional schools corresponding with their fandoms. Other people aren't fen at all and include only real schools.
And some people, like me, include both real and fictional schools. Tell me this doesn't yield the best results ever. The free mixing of meatspace and fanspace, the way the "schools" feature is also a "shared fandoms" feature (I've definitely met one new friend because we shared a rare fannish school)...
I included dates attended in my fannish schools, where those dates corresponded to the year I got interested in the source material. This yields a... pretty ridiculous list, where I've been attending middle school for over ten years and attended four high schools, but I really like it. It's... you know.
I have three high school fandoms (BtVS, VMars, BSC/CA Diaries), but the rest of my fandoms don't have schools, or have schools that also exist in meatspace. Can anyone think of a strategy for including those fandoms in one's school list?
