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. Or link to your intro post. Or put a cute photo of your cat.)

If you don't have a Dreamwidth account, you can sign up for one here.
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.

And feel free to promote wherever you like with this handy box of linkage:

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: alexseanchai

Preferred pronouns: they/them

Other platforms: alexseanchai; alexseanchai; AlexSeanchai (EllieMurasaki); AlexSeanchai#5912 on Discord

Active/primary interests or fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug

If you've seen me around, it's probably because: on DW, because I read a bunch of awesome people and sometimes comment on their things; on Discord, most likely because Yuletide; on Tumblr, because Miraculous Ladybug

I post about: fandom (generally public), my life (generally locked)

I post/check my feed: post daily-ish, check my reading page several times daily

I want to find people that post about: Miraculous Ladybug, writing, queer and/or disabled and/or neurodivergent stuff esp wrt artistic stuff

I am most interested in interacting with people on: Dreamwidth—which probably means I should make sure at least my original Tumblr posts show up on Dreamwidth, shouldn't I…

My blog is: selectively public; I do not automatically subscribe back to new subscribers nor do I expect anyone I subscribe to to subscribe back to me, and I do not immediately grant access to anyone, but I usually grant access to mutual subscribers after a while

Anything else you need to know about me: queer, disabled, neurodivergent. leftist/progressive. recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest. fandom is much better for my mental health than political news. cat photos show up at irregular intervals on my twitter (case in point) and less often on my tumblr. this is Thea with two of her favorite things, high and warm:
