Twitter Exodus Friending Meme

[xancredible]

Maybe no-one besides my handful of DW mutuals will fill this out but let's try having a friending meme like in the good old days.

Comment with this form filled out, read other people's comments, chat, and friend each other :D

Your username on DW: Mierke
Your username on other social media: Mierke on Tumblr and AO3 as well.
Pronouns: She/her
Age bracket: 30s
Geographical area: Belgium
Interests: Books, writing, musicals, tarot. Mental health. Pokemon Go (I play a *lot* but wouldn't really call it a fandom, since I'm doing anything transformative with it, which is apparently my definition of being in a fandom - who knew).
Fandoms: Main ones are Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Harry Potter, The Prom. I'm currently watching CSI (the original) with my wife, we're up to season 11. But I'm a multifandommer and will dabble in almost anything I like enough.
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I post a weekly update (flocked) with sometimes personal, sometimes just fandommy stuff. I have borderline and autism, so the personal stuff can get heavy (though I always hide the worst stuff behind a cut). Occasionally add fic updates, which are always public.
Anything else you'd like us to know? I miss the feeling of community LJ used to give me. Would love to get it back (oh to go back to the time of land comms)! I try to comment regularly on my friends' posts.

I miss the feeling of community LJ used to have too :( We have a few interests in common as well so I've added you.

Just want to add, I really like your sticky posts about comments. I never thought about doing something like that but I think I might have to update my own sticky to do something similar. It's very neat!

It's good to know it's not just me - added you back!

The moment I saw it on someone else's journal I loved it so much I immediately added it to mine - I didn't even have a sticky before that. As someone who deals with not knowing what to do in social spaces a lot, I really like the clear nature of it.

I see a few shared fandoms in your profile, want to give it a try?

[mierke]

Sounds good, adding you now!

For a feeling of community, I recommend followfriday for thematic lists of active communities on Dreamwidth. Just scroll through previous weeks looking for topics you like.

There are a few land comms surviving here! I've seen them while researching other things, but searching "land comms" only brought up one active and that wasn't one I'd seen before: hogwartsishome. So if that's what you want, you may have to be creative and persistent with searching to turn them up.

Oh, thanks for those! I do know HiH (never really clicked with me), but I gave Follow Friday a follow!

I'm happy I could help.

I know I've seen at least a couple of other land comms, but they don't tend to tag their Interests as such, so I couldn't find them when I looked.
