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.

hi! I think we crossed paths in muccamukk's comment section recently -- I've added you and subscribed, hope that's okay.

[eglantiere]

hello! sure, you're welcome :D

OMGosh, that calico is gorgeous! I have several (okay, seven!) cats, and always enjoy connecting with other crazy cat ladies. I'm more into urban fantasy these days than sf/f, but I do read a lot of it and post book reviews. Friends?

[eglantiere]
