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.

I'm a new Doctor Who fan, and adding you

I've been around fandom since the early 00s in some way or other but I had never heard the term "squee-squash" before. I love it.

[prixmium]

I'm into the MCU, Doctor Who, and Good Omens. I also like Star Wars some. I'm going to subscribe and you can decide about the access thing if you wanna mutually add me!

I already subscribed to you from some interest search recently, but just noting that I like several of your interests too!

[prixmium]

I love Steve/Natasha! I looked at your blog and like that you're interested in playlists. We can add each other if you like?

Re: I'm... fashionably late, right?

[prixmium]

I remember you from LJ Stargate fandom maybe? I was pretty into that even though I mostly lurked/commented on discussion posts and didn't get to a ton of writing. It was late in high school or very early in college for me. It comes and goes from the front of my consciousness, but I still have a big place in my heart for Jack/Daniel and SG-1.

I'm into Good Omens and the MCU and (sort of) Star Wars also. Adding you and if you added me back that would be cool.

[prixmium]
