2020 Friending Meme

[st_aurafina]

This helped me a lot in early 2017 when Trump had just been elected, and I am hoping we can get the same feeling going again, after the UK election was such a shock.

Connections are important when it feels like the world is getting darker. Fandom is a huge and strong network of people. We don't always get along, but we're stronger together.

Make new friends, reconnect with those who have drifted, enlarge your circle, and know you are not alone.

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.

ETA on Sat morning AEST: This text box was functionally busted a few hours ago, so if you grabbed the code then, you might have an image with no link. It's fixed now, with all new alt text for screen readers. If your promo link is just an image, please replace the code with what's in the box now. Thanks for all the posts, btw! Giraffes popping up everywhere.

Right back at you! I'm excited to read your book reviews, and I have to admit, my month has been made to be reminded of the existence of the Roy Orbison in clingfilm stories.

[silverflight8]

LOL oh god well you've found my cranky book opinions. Glad to find a like mind though! I just don't get the hype ;p

[auroracloud]

Fantastic book reviews! Subbed.

Love the format of your reading journals. I've subbed!

[ex_flameandsong751]

May I add you? I'm multiply disabled, we have some interests in common according to your interests list (90s alt rock ftw) and I'm going to try to start posting more about my life in 2020. Also I love critters and love that you have a chinchilla! :D

[flowersforgraves]

Hi! Shared interest in Bab5 and tabletop gaming (and rats). Hope you don't mind I've subscribed.

[flowersforgraves]

[waves] hello, I'd love to add you to my flist and sub to you if that's okay! we have shared interests in Stargate, yarncraft, and queer sf/f.

[flowersforgraves]

oh, I love 4/6 of the authors you listed (haven't been able to read anything by the other two yet) and several of your other interests. hope you don't mind I've added and subbed!

[flowersforgraves]

added you based on previous interaction and shared interest in trans headcanons and problematic content!

[notreallystars]

Here's hoping I have some thoughts at some point then! And thank you :)

[notreallystars]

I haven't done for a while. The only thing I've written under this name is a Sirius fic, though I'm pretty sure Remus fic figured in my teenage fanfic writer incarnation. I keep meaning to write more, including Remus fics, but somehow never find the time.

[hitokage]

Sounds good to me~!

[enemyofperfect]

That is extremely okay, and I am very glad to add you right back! I'm always happy to meet a new fan of darkfic and cool SFF.
