Post-reveals Yuletide friending meme

[dolorosa_12]

I hope everyone had as good a Yuletide as I did! It's sometimes hard to find people who like the same small, Yuletide-eligible fandoms as you do, so I thought it would be great to do a friending meme after reveals, so that people could find and add the authors, recipients and commenters who made their 2017 Yuletides so enjoyable.

Please feel free to share this meme far and wide. To participate, just leave a comment on this post, copying the code below and filling in your own answers. I've enabled anonymous commenting so if you don't have a Dreamwidth account you can still participate.

Preferred platform(s): I’m most active on tumblr in terms of reblogging and messaging folks, but most of my fannish reviews and such are on DW/LJ.

I like to post about/read about: I post reviews of books, movies, and anime/manga, a little bit about life in Japan, and sometimes stuff about my personal life and job. I dabble in a lot of different hobbies, but I’m hesitant to write about them because I’m not sure how interested other people will be. I’ve been reading and collecting tarot cards for nearly twenty years now so maybe I’ll finally start blogging about it!

Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms):

This is by no means an exhaustive list because I’m so multifandom

Anime/Manga Shoujo Kakumei Utena | Revolutionary Girl Utena, Sailor Moon (all iterations), Works of Clamp, Penguindrum, Samurai Flamenco, Oniisama E

Literature Works of L. M. Montgomery, Works of Jane Austen, Oz series by L. Frank Baum, Fairytales & Folktales,

Scifi/Fantasy A Song of Ice and Fire, Star Wars (focus on Original Trilogy, Sequel Trilogy, & Expanded Universe), Narnia, His Dark Materials

In general I love late 19th/early 20th century literature, books with queer themes especially written by queer authors, sci-fi/fantasy (especially with POC protags and/or queer protags), and things of that nature. I’m very multifandom and flexible, I never know what will strike my fancy next! I love to read for DC/Marvel/Indie comics fandom but I rarely write for them.

This Yuletide I wrote: Two stories in the David Blaize fandom! The David Blaize books are queerish early 20th century boarding school adventures by a queer author. I did a little write up HERE.

Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? Oh dear, I’m really behind on reading the archive this year. But my two gift fics in the Tokyo Babylon fandom were absolutely lovely and I recommend them highly if you liked the canon (can be found HERE).

Anything else you want to say: I am always looking for new fandom friends, feel free to friend me at will or message me anytime. I love reading other people’s reviews, opinions, and stories of daily life. I am always happy to give recommendations or advice when asked (especially if you have questions about vacationing or getting a job in Japan).

Hiiii, I love Utena and Star Wars, let's be friends :D

[orcofnewyork]

Added! <3

[florianschild]

Queer sci-fi/fantasy fiction is my current hobby. We also share a few other fandoms, including A Song of Ice and Fire and Narnia. Adding!

[halfeatenmoon]

I also love Star Wars, and I think I've read some of your fic. Can I add you?

[dhampyresa]

Of course you can add me. Can I add you back?

I like to post about/read about: Real life, fandom, society, and a lot of silly puns
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): Genre, all kinds thereof. If it doesn't have spaceships, supernatural creatures, or at the very least some surly detective with a Glock in her holster, I'm probably not watching it.
This Yuletide I wrote: Moonlight (2016), iZombie, and The Good Fight...and I just realize these are two real-life fandoms, heh. Okay, fine: I make exceptions for queer and feminist media.
Anything else you want to say: I would love new friends on Dreamwidth.

[zhelana]

I'd be interested in being friends :)

[monanotlisa]

Let's be!

[dhampyresa]

Your views on genre are my views on genre, hahaha. Can I add you?

[monanotlisa]

Yes, go on!

[dhampyresa]

I did!

Usernames on other platforms (Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Twitter etc): summerstorm, pollychurchill, howlongthebones. I have a few other platforms under my "real" name but I don't want them to find my fandom stuff and mess with it. It'll come out how much of a social media/blog person I am if you friend me though.
Preferred platform(s): Dreamwidth and Twitter
I like to post about/read about: I post about my life a lot, because this is kind of the only safe space I have left? So I post a lot about mental health and things like that. I also post about the media I consume and I want to do more writing, which historically means talking about it a lot as well. I love reading people who are active, whether they're mostly life/fandom or something else.
Fandoms (including bigger, non-Yuletide fandoms): I'm sort of in between? I watch B99 and The Good Place (but I don't think I'm as into TGP as most TGP people are!). I'm currently rewatching Leverage. I'm really into iZombie these days and Make It Or Break It is my perennial Yuletide fandom.
This Yuletide I wrote: I actually defaulted, but I did nearly write iZombie. I did do an NYR.
Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection? I need to read more! I had some life upheavals. I loved the What's Your Number fic. Can I rec my 2015 main gift? It's MIOBI, Sasha/Payson, and it's called Golden Touch. It's delicious. It's like I wrote idfic, but better cos someone else wrote it for me.
Anything else you want to say: I really want more people to interact with without the anxiety of people stalking me on my namespaces. I'm gonna need so much self-care in the next six months, y'all.

[halfeatenmoon]

Hey! I like all your TV fandoms, although I admit I don't post much about them. Can I add you?

[summerstorm]

absolutely! I'm more interested in people being active than sharing fandoms with me, so. Plus you sound familiar, I think I've seen you around. :)

Any recs from this year's Yuletide and/or Madness collection?
There was another Gattaca fic I really liked called "they could have found it in your eye". I also got an excellent Queen's Thief fic called "Stone and Shadow." Those were my two favorite fics this year.

Anything else you want to say:
It would be nice to meet some new friends in either my small or my large fandoms :)

[florianschild]

Hello, fellow Queen's Thief fan! Let's be friends?

[convenientalias]

Sure! I don't hang out much on dreamwidth, but I do like talking about Queen's Thief :)
