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.

Hi! Those are all excellent things. I'm following you back!

[shadaras]

I'm here for your description of yourself as into 'fictional women, spaceships, and dragons'! Also a lot of the fandoms you mentioned -- She-Ra and Imperial Radch and Star Trek (though I accept that I mostly only know Discovery).

[hibernate]

Disco is good! I'm enjoying it a lot, especially season 2, and very much looking forward to season 3. :D

[shadaras]

Yes! I wasn't sure how they were going to pull off the time travel stuff, but I'm really happy with how it went. :) And s3 is starting off in a really cool place!

I need to catch up on the Short Treks at some point, but I suspect that'll be something for the holiday break.

I'm curious about how the new Picard show will go too -- even if I didn't really watch TNG (besides being shown like... most episodes about Data or Q by college friends who were into those characters), Picard is a cool character and I love Patrick Stewart as an actor.

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

[hibernate]

Hi there! Adding you back!

[ng_moonmoth]

Someone else who's into yarn! I challenge myself knitting with it. (My inner pedant says your description of your relationship with yarn should properly be "aficionada" instead of "-do". Don't listen to it.)

My intro comment is over here.
