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: parcequelle
Preferred pronouns: she/her
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): parcequelle on AO3. I post sporadically as farmerdamsel on tumblr, but I prefer DW for forming connections and writing more in-depth posts.
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Good Omens, Doctor Who (2005), Star Trek: TNG/VOY/DS9, Star Wars, Broadchurch, Grace and Frankie, The Closer. Writing (fic and original fiction), reading (fic, YA, LGBT, contemporary, dystopia), dance, travel, tea, and animals.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: You read and/or write femslash, particularly of the Star Trek: TNG/VOY variety.
I post about: Friends-locked: RL (writing, queerness, work, travel, family, health). Unlocked: fic, fic recs, dear author letters.
I post/check my feed: I check my feed at least twice a day, and currently post about 2-3 times a week.
I want to find people that post about: femslash, writing original f/f YA and/or romance, Good Omens and the ineffable spouses, classic Star Trek, the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz, writing, queerness (of any variety, though I identify as a lesbian).
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: mostly friends only
Anything else you need to know about me: I fandom-hop, but I am reliably a femslash writer who cycles back to Star Trek at least twice a year. I read a lot of fic and usually tend towards femslash, slash and gen over het. My current major fandom is Good Omens. I haven't written a lot of fic, lately, but I am working on an original YA novel. I speak and read English and German.

Love your icon! I wander through fandoms too, but I am always happy to talk about Star Trek and femslash! I'm a big DS9 and Dax and Kira fan, but I like pretty much all of the Treks. I also love reading and writing femslash in general.
