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.

<strong>DW username</strong>: <strong>Preferred pronouns:</strong> <strong>Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc)</strong>: <strong>Active/primary interests or fandoms</strong>: (keep this fairly short, so people will read it!) <strong>If you've seen me around, it's probably because</strong>: (how might people have seen you online / in fandom?) <strong>I post about</strong>: (fandom, real life, or a combination) <strong>I post/check my feed</strong>: (daily, weekly, twice a year, etc) <strong>I want to find people that post about</strong>: (specific fandoms, fandom in general, books, RL, SJ, etc) <strong>I am most interested in interacting with people on:</strong> (DW, Twitter, Tumblr, etc) <strong>My blog is</strong>: (public, selectively public, friends-only) <strong>Anything else you need to know about me:</strong> (A good place to talk about your fandom shipping preferences, characters, type of fic/art/etc you like.

If you don't have a Dreamwidth account, you can sign up for one here.
If you're new to Dreamwidth and you've left OpenID comments on DW before, you can link your IDs here: How can I claim my OpenID account with my Dreamwidth account?

Play nice.

And feel free to promote wherever you like with this handy box of linkage:

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.

DW username: misbegotten
Preferred pronouns: she/her
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): misbegotten
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Classic and new Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, and whatever smaller fandoms lure me in.
I post about: Real Life, fandom, minutiae.
I post/check my feed: Daily
I want to find people that post about: I'm interested in RL stuff, particularly cooking and crafts; pets as family; drabbles that are exactly 100 words; media consumed and thoughts upon it.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: Mostly locked.
Anything else you need to know about me: It's hard to know whether to subscribe to a locked journal, isn't it? Most recently I have been posting about vegetarian recipes, insomnia, memes, and the usual holiday hullabaloo as we survive family get-togethers. I plan to do the December Talking Meme in January.

drabbles that are exactly 100 words

*slams the subscribe button*

Hello! I am also a fan of Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, and drabbles of exactly 100 words. Shall we be friends?

[dolorosa_12]

I don't think we share any current fandoms, but I'm very interested in adding people who like to talk about RL stuff, especially cooking. (My own approach to Dreamwidth seems very similar to your own — a blend of RL stuff and reflections on media consumed.) Mind if I add you?

[hibernate]

Hello! I like what you're saying, we share a few fandoms and I actually subscribed to your icon journal only a few days ago! My I add?

[starshipfox]

We share a few different fandoms, and I definitely feel you on the insomnia!

[nay_o_mee]

I'm here for all things Doctor Who (new), Star Trek, and Star Wars. My post is here and I have an About Me. Friends?

[nafs]

Hello, you seem interesting and we have one or two people in common (like dine) and also your username sounds familiar for some reason, so I have added you :D

[dine]

Possibly her username sounds familiar because I mentioned it in my journal.


No matter, she's awesome, I highly support this decision

[ephemeralflower]

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

[such_heights]

drabbles that are exactly 100 words hahaha if I could subscribe to you twice I would just for that!
