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.

Preferred pronouns:
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc):I try to keep fandom separate from ones where the non-fannish people hang out.
Active/primary interests or fandoms: (keep this fairly short, so people will read it!)I am multi-fanish. Currently, I'm still in the grip of Queen fandom. I'm also fannish about Farscape, and Leverage.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: I tend to lurk.
(how might people have seen you online / in fandom?)In 2006 I went too Writercon. There was a lot of people i got to meet, but I don't want to mention names in case I forget someone. I've had the pleasure of multiple visits with gingerpig. I've also met ruric and ok2nv.

I post about: (fandom, real life, or a combination)I post about whatever I happren to think about or that catches my interest.
I post/check my feed: (daily, weekly, twice a year, etc) I usually post once or twice a week.
I want to find people that post about: (specific fandoms, fandom in general, books, RL, SJ, etc)things they are passionate about.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: (DW, Twitter, Tumblr, etc)DW
My blog is: (public, selectively public, friends-only)public
Anything else you need to know about me: (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.) I am not hung up on what people want to call their holidays. I cuss. I am a slasher by habit and nature.
