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'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.

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.

[mf_luder_xf]

DW username: mf_luder_xf

Preferred pronouns: She/her

Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): tumblr, AO3, and mf_luder_xf on discord

Active/primary interests or fandoms: Mostly DC comics, Titans, and Batfam right now. Also really into Sheith (Voltron) despite not having watched the show yet.

If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I write!

I post about: Fandom, very rarely about RL

I post/check my feed: Oh boy. On DW, once a month? I try to be better and January I usually do more because of snowflake challenge and work slowing down. Definitely way more active on tumblr.

I want to find people that post about: Fandom. Post about RL too, I love reading that. But I want people to squee and interact with me about fandom, generally.

I am most interested in interacting with people on: Probably tumblr, but I feel bad about leaving my DW cold, so here, too!

My blog is: Public, because I don't post about RL too often.

Anything else you need to know about me: I think I've hit Mom age in fandom (though sometimes I feel like grandma age), I don't do ship hate, I'm very YMMV and ship-and-let-ship. I don't understand discord but I have one and want to interact? I'm always looking for people to beta fics. Bi af. Multishipper. Major ships include: Kirk/Spock, Sheith, McShep, SuperBat (which is Clark/Bruce, Tim/Kon, and occasionally Dami/Jon), JayRoy, DickDami, JayDick, Mulder/Scully and Mulder/Krycek, Steve/Tony, Destiel, Adora/Catra, Aziraphael/Crowley, McDanno...plus a whole lot more see this post. I love space, angst in my fic, apocalyptic settings, and writing either only porn or 40,000 word PG fics. *facepalm*
