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.

DW username: dhampyresa

Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): I'm sevenofspade on Ao3.

Active/primary interests or fandoms: Star Wars, comics (as a medium in general rather than just US superheroes), various TV shows, some historical figures, fandom in general, science!

If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I run nightonficmountain, a fanart/fanfic exchange for small fandoms.

I post/check my feed: I check about once a day, may not always comment that often.

I want to find people that post about: Fandom, mostly! Though I'm not opposed to other subjects.

I am most interested in interacting with people on: Dreamwidth.

My blog is: About 90% public.

Anything else you need to know about me: Shipping is not really my focus in fandom (worldbuilding my love!) but I am a multishipper at heart. I am definitely a French person and not five snakes in a trenchcoat.
