[st_aurafina]

New year, new President (in the US), new server sites for Livejournal. The future is little bit scary right now, and scary is better faced with friends. Meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and expand your reading circle.

To play, cut and paste this text into a comment, fill out the details and tell us about yourself. Then go find new people to add.

DW username: olivia_beige
Preferred pronouns: She/Her
Other platforms (please specify): olivia_beige on AO3, blotsandcreases on tumblr
Active/primary interests or fandoms: ASOIAF, Orphan Black, Mad Max: Fury Road, Harry Potter, Pacific Rim, and a handful others, basically drop a heap of female characters on me and I'll drift to that fandom. Also: rare pairs.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: written some prompt fills of dubious quality, been reblogged by asoiaf rec blogs
I post about: fandom, real life
I post/check my feed: weekly. I have a resolution to be more involved starting this year as I've been away for some time.
I want to find people that post about: ladies being awesome, and sapphic. Diversity, representation. Media and books they consume. Sansa Stark. Arianne Martell. Cersei Lannister. Femslash. Fic written in perspectives of sidetracked female characters. Fairy tales, and rare pairs, and unmotherly mothers, and lady monsters.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW, LJ, Tumblr
My blog is: Public, with the occasional friends-only
Anything else you need to know about me: Child of the 90s and the coffee pot. Uni student. Quite excitable, but also...shy. But also, excitable.

[inkstone]

It sounds like we have several things in common! Adding you. :)

[olivia_beige]

Sure! I'll add you, too.

Active/primary interests or fandoms: Right now I'm getting into Sherlock (anything featuring Mycroft, pls) and Sense8. Previous fandoms include SPN (Dean/Cas), Doctor Who (RTD), House, Star Trek, and a variety of short stints in other fandoms. I have a very short fandom attention span and like to return to old obsessions occasionally.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I never really had my five minutes of fandom fame. A few years ago, I wrote a Tumblr post on queerbaiting in SPN that got quite popular. I mostly hang out at the sidelines, though.
I post about: real life, fandom, fanworks (my own, and recs)
I post/check my feed: I hope to be checking my feed daily, or at least weekly. I used to be quite active on DW/LJ until I drifted over to Tumblr. I'm now trying to get involved in the LJ/DW community again.
I want to find people that post about: fandom, real life
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW/LJ. I also have a Twitter account I'd be happy to use more frequently.
My blog is: selectively public. Real life posts are usually friends-locked.
Anything else you need to know about me: I'm 30, queer, German, an avid multishipper, and kind of a fandom grandma prone to shaking my stick at the youngins. I like meta on shows and on fandom, support the idea of fandom being fucking funny, and am always here for awesome kickass ladies getting more screentime and fandom attention. My cat's name is Rassilon and he's amazing:

[randomdrops]

Hi! Late to the party but I've been browsing the friending meme here and friending people that seem interesting or that have similar interests. So hello! Your cat is indeed amazing.

[teyla]

Hello there! Sorry for the late reply; my return to DW got interrupted when I got sidetracked with a new fandom (The Thick of It, in case you know it).

Anyway, let's be friends! I've added you back. :)

Other platforms (please specify): I've had a DW account for years, and also was on LJ for almost 10 years (cross-posting from DW to LJ), but have recently left LJ due to the issues with the server moving to Russia, etc.
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Current fandoms I enjoy: Penny Dreadful, Once Upon a Time, Versailles, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes. I also love classic films ,including classic horror and SF / Fantasy, big fan of Vincent Price, and love reading Victorian and early 20th century ghost stories. I've written fan fic for Penny Dreadful and OUAT + a Penny Dreadful / Doctor Who cross-over (all of my fics are on my journal at DW and also on Ao3, where I also post as earthspirits). Also used to be active in the Xena fandom, and have written fic and created fan art for that.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: You may have seen me here at DW, and also on LJ , Ao3, and on doll forums, as I post as earthspirits on all of these.
I post about: I have a lot of interests, and my posts focus on these, ranging from real life to some fandom related. Subjects I write about: Literature, reading / writing, books, gardening, old houses, antiques, history, nature and the environment, cats, fandom, ball-jointed art dolls, spirituality (with a focus on Pagan / Goddess, and some Buddhist).
I post/check my feed: I post at least once a week, but sometimes more often, depending on how busy I am, and check my reading / access / subscription list often (it can vary from daily to 2 to 3x a week).
I want to find people that post about: All sorts of things, as I have a wide variety of interests.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW - always interested in making new friends here.
My blog is: Mostly public, and once in awhile, some friends-locked posts.

I enjoy costuming and fashion as well.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I did a bunch of recs in my previous fandom, Merlin.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

You are not late to the party-- at least not where I'm concerned (actually I am late to the party too!) FFXII, one of the most underappreciated Final Fantasy games, I think. I used to be obsessed with Basch's potholder!

Do you mind if I friend you? you seem awesome!

[clawdine]

Hello!! Haha, I LOVE FFXII and I've played it so many times! We FFXII fans must band together!

Glad to meet you, and I'll friend you back! :)

[nanslice]

Yuri! On Ice and video games (are you hyped about the FFXII Remaster?!). Adding you. :3

[clawdine]

SO excited! I haven't had a console since the PS2 though. :) Might have to get it for FFXII.

Added back!!

[evilkingstan]

This is going to be really coherent, I promise: Your first video game listed is Shadow Hearts! Friend???

[clawdine]

Ahaa you like Naoki Urasawa too! I haven't read all his works, but MONSTER is one of my favourite serieses ever. :D Shadow Hearts was lovely. I had to engage in bidding wars on eBay to get all 3, lol. Such an underrated series.

I am so very sorry that I am replying to this in April, but I just hopped on the bandwagon...
