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: UndeadRobins (call me K if you really want a name for me)
Preferred pronouns: She/her, although I'm not bothered by anyone using any specific pronouns for me.
Other platforms (tumblr, twitter, etc): Yes, but I'm trying to keep them separate (ish) for a while.
Active/primary interests or fandoms: Star Wars, Star Trek, Titans, almost anything DC Comics-based, Avengers/MCU (when it doesn't piss me off), and random other fandoms at different times.
If you've seen me around, it's probably because: In this incarnation, you probably haven't.
I post about: Fandom. Absolutely no personal/real life posts.
I post/check my feed: Daily
I want to find people that post about: fandom. Any fandom, even if it's not one I'm especially into.
I am most interested in interacting with people on: DW
My blog is: public
Anything else you need to know about me: I'm trying for a fresh start on DW - no drama, just my own anxieties about living up to several years of intermittent journalling and sharing too much personal information. I really want to find the fandom love I had a few years ago, so I'm purposely keeping this as a fandom-only space for myself. I'm multi-fannish and a multi-shipper, and you can learn more at my sticky Post

Hi! I have friended you, less due to major fandom overlap (although they do overlap some) but more to the fact that I like your writing and I also want to talk more about fandom than RL! :-)

[undeadrobins]

Thank you! I'll add you back - and my fandom interests are wide and eclectic, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of overlap in the end!

[unfeathered]

Yay! It's sooo nice to be meeting new people to talk fandom with! :-)
