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: ivyfic
Preferred pronouns: she/her
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): None
Active/primary interests or fandoms: I work a lot so haven’t gotten into any new fandoms of late. I’m happy to be pitched! My old standards are Star Trek, due South, Avengers, Stargate
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: About ten years ago I wrote pretty regularly, mostly in Supernatural and Constantine (movie)
I post about: Life, usually
I post/check my feed: I check my feed every day and post…way less than that.
I want to find people that post about: Fandom in general, pimp me into new fandoms—the media landscape is so fractured, I don’t even know what people are watching anymore
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: friends-only
Anything else you need to know about me: I read my feed and fic every day, but I work in a pretty demanding job, so don’t have as much time for fandom interaction as I used to. So I can’t promise I’ll post much, but I do comment!

Adding you!

Had a look at some of your public posts, I am also a fan of owning my music, someone who uses spreadsheets to track things that others might not necessarily and agree that Lilo and Stitch is amazing. Subscribed :D

Hi - we seem to be of a similar fandom vintage or at least fandom philosophy, hope it's okay to add you!

I just want to say I really enjoyed your public post about HPCC, and the differences in Harry and Draco as parents. (And I treasure my physical music CDs too.)

I think we have some shared interests and your posts look interesting, so I'm adding you!
