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: chez_jae and enchanted_jae
Preferred pronouns: She/her
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): LiveJournal
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Primarily HP (Drarry) and FAKE
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I participate in and/or mod several Drarry comms and fests
I post about: I post about personal things at both journals (family, friends, cats, work, small adventures), but enchanted_jae is what I consider my fandom journal, where I post fic. There is no fic at chez_jae, but that's where I post book reviews. Feel free to add me at either or both!
I post/check my feed: At enchanted_jae, 6 days a week (yes, really!) and at chez_jae, a bit more sporadically...maybe twice a week?
I want to find people that post about: I do love Drarry, but I also enjoy posts about cats/pets, family and friends, your travels (I don't travel much, alas), work...anything personal, I guess.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW and LJ (I have the same user names there)
My blog is: Fanfic and book reviews are public; personal posts are friends only
Anything else you need to know about me:
Here's a pic of me chilling on the couch with four (of seven!) cats:

Hope you're OK with me adding you as a friend - I love the pic of your cats (only 1 of our 3 most recent cats is still with us, so we're spoiling him rotten, as one does)! I'm not an HP fandom participant, but I read them all/saw all the movies and enjoyed both.

[chez_jae]

This is the time of day when the cats are all snoozing. They seem so sweet. Hah! Naughty beasts.

I look forward to meeting your kitty!

I love book reviews and I've seen you around in HP fandom, so I'm adding both your journals if you don't mind!

[enchanted_jae]

Lovely, thank you! I'll add you here, now, and at the other when I log in there again.

I remember you from HP Halloween! I’d like to add your both journals if you don’t mind. My friending comment is here.
