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.

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: ai.

Preferred pronouns: Feminine.

Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): I have a plurk and twitter, though read more than I actively post on either

Active/primary interests or fandoms: Itabags, fandom enamel pin collecting, planner design, and listography. For fandoms, I have some listed in my interests, but I mostly write about video games.

If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I used to be an active icon maker on LiveJournal/Dreamwidth before Photobucket ate my collection. Still warms my heart to see icons used though.

I post about: Combination of real life and what I'm getting up to fandom-wise. I'm not a fic writer or artist. I'm good at finding things for sale within my fandoms and redirecting my friends to them though. I'm a traditional blogger so if you were around in early 2000's of LiveJournal, Scribbld, GreatestJournal, etc... that's what I get up to.

I post/check my feed: Daily. I comment when I can provide something whether it's support or a suggestion.

I want to find people that post about: Mutual interests, but also willing to connect with people. Most of my blogging is social, basically internet penpals with a closer connection. I leave comments practically everywhere I can. Because of this, I refuse to add anyone under the age of 18.

I am most interested in interacting with people on: Dreamwidth is all I'm looking for.

My blog is: Friends only.

Anything else you need to know about me: As mentioned, I'm more of an old timer when it comes to journal sites. I prefer to add people who are willing to make new friends, not interact with fans.

I tend to post a lot of pictures of various games as well, though I'm very mindful about spoilers. The max size I use is width 600 to make it easier on the friends list.

In short, if you want a mobile game / mmo fanatic that loves commenting, I'd be a good friend.
