A FANLISTING IS a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject.

LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE are defined as people who use their left hand for most fine manual tasks. Most commonly, anyone who writes with their left hand is classed as being 'left-handed'. Some people are more dominantly 'left-sided' than others but in most cases left-handed people will use their right hand over the left for some tasks - either by natural inclination, training or neccessity. Left-handedness is relatively uncommon: only ~10% of the population is left-handed. As a result, society & technology tend to be biased towards right-handedness. As if this wasn't bad enough, just being left-handed brings with it an array of negative associations.

I, personally, am proud to be left-handed. It's a disadvantage, yes, but it's also a great strength. I find I'm more adaptable than right-handers I know; I do have a different way of looking at things. I enjoy being different. There's a certain sense of kinship when you discover someone else who's left-handed. You don't get many people going 'Oh! You're right-handed too!', do you? At the same time, the social bias towards the right does annoy me - those pens on chains in banks annoy the crap out of me! Tin openers and scissors deserve death. I will probably never learn to knit or play the recorder properly. Still...I don't believe there's anything wrong with being left-handed.

This fanlisting has been open since 4th May 2008 and is currently in its first version, featuring a scan of my left hand and brushes taken from twisted barfly, in-x-plicable design, amnesia, final-run.org & simplybrush.
