As it turns out, the creators of the show capitalized on the fictional social networking site to create the very real OurChart. Here’s what the creators have to say about the site:

Pretty much every group of friends has its own ‘chart,’ right? Whether it's written down or not, we all know who's slept with whom, who's part of whose serial monogamy, and who's part of everyone else's serial non-monogamy. It's part of the glue that holds all forms of social networks together.

We were first introduced to Alice's chart of hookups in season one, episode one of The L Word. Since then, it's been the connecting thread throughout all of the relationships on the show. Whether or not the characters have slept together, they're all together on Alice's wall. The underlying friendships in the group are the real foundation of all these connections, and that's where OurChart comes in. Until now, there's never been a central meeting place just for us — lesbians, dykes, queer girls, gay women, high femmes, butches, drag kings, bois, transwomen and transmen — however we define ourselves. On OurChart, you can connect yourself via friendships and relationships to the wide world encompassing all these people and more.

You can invite your friends, make new ones, and share your favorite stuff, your innermost thoughts, and your most superficial leanings. That's pretty standard. But on OurChart, your network of connections will also form a visual ‘chart’ a lot like Alice's — only this one is dynamic and interactive. And it's yours.

The site includes blogs, content about The L Word, and allows you to watch episodes from the current season. When you sign up, you have the ability to upload photos, manage your own blog, and allows you to manage friends and “friends plus,” which can include ex-significant others and anybody you may have gotten romantic with. And it’s not just for women; there are men on the site, too. The most interesting part of the site is that you can launch your own chart where you can see how you’re connected to everyone on the chart.

The L Word creators built a truly fun, interactive social networking site that not only promotes their program, but gives groups that might feel left out by traditional social networking a chance to share their voice and meet new friends.
