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.

*waves* It seems I shall have to get back to the Music Monday Meme in January, then! Hmm, I could also make a little post about my 300bpm sign-up and the song choices... Oh yeah, and my Jukebox letters have song links!

[delphi]

Wonderful! I usually share something I'm listening to about once a week, and I love chatting about it and hearing about what other people are listening to. Great to meet you. :D

[ephemeralflower]

Awesome, I look forward to reading them!

[wheatear]

Sure!

[magnetic_pole]

DW username: UndeadRobins (call me K if you really want a name for me)
Preferred pronouns: She/her, although I'm not bothered by anyone using any specific pronouns for me.
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): Yes, but I'm trying to keep them separate (ish) for a while.
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Star Wars, Star Trek, Titans, almost anything DC Comics-based, Avengers/MCU (when it doesn't piss me off), and random other fandoms at different times.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: In this incarnation, you probably haven't.
I post about: Fandom. Absolutely no personal/real life posts.
I post/check my feed: Daily
I want to find people that post about: fandom. Any fandom, even if it's not one I'm especially into.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: public
Anything else you need to know about me: I'm trying for a fresh start on DW - no drama, just my own anxieties about living up to several years of intermittent journalling and sharing too much personal information. I really want to find the fandom love I had a few years ago, so I'm purposely keeping this as a fandom-only space for myself. I'm multi-fannish and a multi-shipper, and you can learn more at my sticky Post

Hi! I'm adding you, if that's okay?

[undeadrobins]

Hi, I'm adding you, if that's okay?

[undeadrobins]

I've still not seen the 2016 movie, but Mag7 (the TV show) is one of my forever fandoms. And anyone who mentions Mara Jade has to be awesome, so I'm adding you, if that's okay?

Honestly, the PJO books are SO much fun. Great! I should remember to post more folk and choral music...

I love podcasts and I'm excited to find out about your podcast comm!

It is SO GREAT if you add me! I came to POI late too, though before the finale. It's good to know people are still discovering the show. I love your icon!


And yeah, I was also a blubbering wreck after the finale. I had to adblock the front image on the wiki, because it was John on the roof omg.

[st_aurafina]

Yay!! I will be starting up the weekly post in the New Year.

I added you - always glad to have fellow Aussies on the flist. Hope that's okay!
