findingfriends | Entries tagged with main content: fannish

Is there an interesting story behind your username? I'm a binturong therian. :P

Location and language(s): USA, English, learning Spanish. I will be moving to Central America soon.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.) mid 20s.

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: I am pro-Palestine, pro-trans women, and against all forms of bigotry. I am also against censorship of and harassment over fiction. If you disagree, I don't necessarily know if my journal is the place for you... sorry.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? I sort of do? I really should make an in-depth one, one of these days, but I already post a lot and I don't want to spam people's reading pages...

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? Sorta. It's kind of brief.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
1) I'm a plural system, so I have memory loss & other alters post here too
2) I'm neurodivergent sometimes I act odd or don't get social cues/misunderstand things
3) I'm half a fandom journal and half a personal one, and I have some darker fictional interests
4) I talk about spiritual stuff & being a psychic medium sometimes, it is real to me. I understand skepticism but please, don't be rude about this.

You mostly write about: My life, my creative work, complaining, fictosexuality & alterhumanity, plurality, disability justice, fandom stuff, spirituality

You never or very rarely write about: Triggering content that isn't warned for and under a cut; uhhh other than that you might see anything. I try not to post "discourse" or arguments/controversial topics though. But I am an opinionated person so sometimes it does slip through.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? It is access locked.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? No.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): I post at the very least every week.

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Eh sorta. I post photography sometimes. I want to start posting linkspams of things I find interesting. I also post memes sometimes.

What do you enjoy most about journaling? I like how private it can be while still giving me the ability to interact with others. I like how it gives me the ability to make connections with people that feel more genuine and personal than connections made on mainstream internet websites. Everyone is so nice!

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? I check my reading page multiple times a day. I'm trying to make DW my main platform so I'm on here a lot... :')

You really enjoy reading about: Any kind of fandom thoughts, any kind of stuff about an individual's creative work, deep thoughts

You have very little interest in reading about: Just anything closed-minded

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? ...You do you?

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? I don't care I just like hearing from people!

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? No! Comments are optional for me. While I enjoy them, I just like talking on here in general, it's not a requirement.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I don't know... I just try to be respectful? Is there a particular approach I should have? I'm still kinda new here :')

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? I don't usually tell people unless they ask for it. I don't care if people tell me or not. I would prefer to know, so I don't forget in the future and add you back, but it's whatever.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general?

Yeah. I frequently post about: The Orville, Babylon 5, Doom Patrol.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?

I'd love to meet anyone who isn't put off by any of the above and make new friends!!!

erinptah

Is there an interesting story behind your username?

I was 10 or 11, I was coming up with Sailor Moon OCs, I flipped to the “list of mythology topics” page in what must’ve been the family World Book Encyclopedia, and picked half a dozen names basically at random. One of them ended up being Sailor Ptah.

…you want to see some art, right? Of course you do.

( Art + the rest of the questions behind the fake cut )

goodbyebird

Is there an interesting story behind your username? It's a quote from The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Location and language(s):

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):30s.

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: Spoilers outside of a spoiler-cut. Bigotry. A lot of drama and wank.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? No, but there's a bit of info on my profile.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? I tinker with it at least a couple of times a year, so yes.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: Fannish. Fandom Old. Likes a variety of stories. Works on a boat. Is Norwegian.

You mostly write about: Things I'm watching/reading/playing. Some rl, some linkspam King, icons every now and then.

You never or very rarely write about: Long form posts, meta, a lot of politics.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? New posts are 99% unlocked.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? I don't write much about things that could be deemed triggery, I think, but I do use tags.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): It varies quite a lot.

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Not gifs, but yes.

What do you enjoy most about journaling? Connecting with other clever, kind, enthusiastic, and creative people across the world. The company of geeks, as I don't have geeky rl friends.

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Usually daily.

You really enjoy reading about: Fandom, reviews, thinky thoughts.

You have very little interest in reading about: Blogs that focus on just one thing, like their work, or their kids, or extremely mono-fannish blogs.

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Perfectly fine :)

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? I love talking to people, so either is fine by me.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? If we don't communicate at all, I'd probably unfriend eventually, yes.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I comment quite a bit, when I have something to say (including a "yay!" or whatnot hehe).

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? I'd unfriend, and be drama-free about anyone else doing the same.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? Star Trek Discovery is the show I've written about most recently, but I do tend to comment on what I'm watching/reading quite frequently. Just nothing epic and long-form ;)

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?
For a better picture of what media I'm into, my userpics will give you a good idea.

killertofuuu

Is there an interesting story behind your username? Nope! It's just part of my personality, though my job is to be a funny futz, not a mean one. I poke fun at my fandoms and favorite things playfully. I try not to complain much anymore, though. Nothing sucks more than making serious business out of fandom. And besides, online, I go by Risa.
Location and language(s): United States, US English and some Spanish
Age range: I'm 30, but I'll be friends with anyone who's mature and fun.
Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: It almost goes without saying in fandom spaces like these that most flavors of bigotry are no good, but lets go deeper. I don't tolerate harassment and bullying of any sort, for any reason, from anyone, period, especially if it involves ship bashing, or kink shaming. Anti's who make "call out" posts? I'm looking at you. Also, I don't want to hear about why "men suck" or "cis people suck" or whatever. I'm done listening to that shit. It needs to stop.
Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? LOL, not really. I have a massive list of interests, though, and lots of icons. Pretty much anything you see is fair game to talk about.
List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: I am a workaholic and I lose track of time. I have been known to disappear for months at a time. This is only because I fall out of the habit of updating my journal. Now that I'm getting back in the habit of updating my journal, you'll be seeing more of me around. I write lots of fic and meme a lot, too.
You mostly write about: Fannish things and hobbies. I try not to talk about work so much anymore, because it's bad enough I have to live it. I don't really want to relive it online, you know? Besides, that's what facebook's for.
You never or very rarely write about: I used to use my journal to talk about my mood and my IRL relationships/issues/worries/etc., but I don't want to use this platform for that anymore. I'm trying to shift more into writing and creativity for the fun of it. I've found more useful (for me) ways to manage my mental health, but you'd better believe I understand the value of having people online to talk about all that stuff. Your thoughts and concerns are always safe with me. Chef don't judge.
Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? Mostly public. I won't say I never do locked posts, but rarely.
Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? No. I'm pretty easy-going about whatever folks post about. The only things I can't stand are bullying and harassment. Not talk of bullying and harassment, but actual bullying and harassment. That'll piss me off right quick.
Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.): I'm gonna say every few days at this point, but I'm looking at updating maybe 2-3 times daily as my goal.
Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? I embed youtube videos from time to time. I love memes and post a lot of them, especially ones pertaining to writing and shipping! Not many gifs, but if I use them I'll put them under a cut, most likely.
What do you enjoy most about journaling? Being in the writing habit and keeping myself accountable for engaging in fun hobbies so I'm not just burning myself out with work and responsibilities all the time.
How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Daily, which sadly isn't hard. Not everyone posts on DW frequently. Heck, it's a wagon I've fallen off of at times.
You really enjoy reading about: Other people's hobbies. What they're cooking. What games they're playing. What they're writing. What animals they encounter. I like to know what people are up to. It helps me remind myself to have more fun.
You have very little interest in reading about: Pettiness, complaints, criticism, people talking shit about each other, people bashing media they hate, etc. Meh. Or, to put it more briefly, I'm sick of reading about, or listening to what people hate, and will very likely ignore it. I want friends who are less about that hate and more about live and let live.
Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Hey, include anything you want in your journals. It's your world! You ought to post whatever you want. Don't let my preferences stop you.
When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? I appreciate both, because I'm entitled to neither. I guess if I had a preference, I'd go for quantity. Part of why I'm here is because I want to talk to people. The more comments, the better. Don't be shy!
Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? No.
What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? If anything stands out about the post and I want to chime in, I will. It's usually a joke, some insight, or something fairly neutral, though. I'll offer Internet hugs for people who need them, too.
When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? I would just unfriend silently, and when I do it's usually nothing personal. You can just unfriend me, too, if you need to. No explanation needed. It's all good.
AND LASTLY
Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? I'd say the fandom I talk most about is South Park, but I like all sorts of cartoons, video games, etc. Heck, just look at my interests list. We'll talk any fandoms you want, including ones I'm not part of. I have plenty of generic enough posts where you can chime in with something off topic. Doesn't bother me.
Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? I'm hopelessly obsessed with cooking videos on YouTube right now, and I also love Gordon Ramsay. If you have recipes that you love, send them my way anytime! I do a bit of cooking myself.

Current Mood: good

tinny

Is there an interesting story behind your username?
Nope. It's just my name.

Location and language(s):
Germany, but I post exclusively in English.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):
40s.

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:
Uncut spoilers. (Although I am rarely in the same fandoms as my flisties, so that is probably not very often relevant.)

Ranting. If all you do is rant about stuff, I will most likely be repulsed by the negativity. (I realize that politics these days are impossible not to rant about, just... please let it not be all that you do.)

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.?
Hmm... not really. But most of my journal is public, so you can get a sense of me that way, I hope.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful?
I think so? It's short but I think it represents me.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
I will not friend anyone who posts more than once a day. I simply don't have time to read it all and I would feel bad not reading it. (But I have some friends with whom I have agreed to filter their posts only to specific tags, to reduce the frequency. So they know I will only see those.)

I think I am very friendly and try to comment on all my friends' posts. I like to give advice (when the post sounds like you are receptive to it).

I have little time, so in-depth discussions in real time are not going to happen. I'm old, and my reaction to rants and heated discussions is to stay away.

I will always gush excitedly and in detail about your creative content: icons, vids, fic, crafts, whatever. People's creations are awesome and I love them.

You mostly write about:
Icons! I make about 1000 icons per year. And not the crop-and-be-done-with-it kind, either. The complex kind. (I post new ones about once a week.)
Fandoms I am currently watching, I make rec posts and pic spams. (Irregularly.)
Books I am currently reading, I write detailed reviews about them. (About one a month.)
RL. (About once a month.)

You never or very rarely write about:
Anything else. :)

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?
All the personal posts are locked. Everything else is public.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)?
No. But I tag everything, so you can filter/subscribe selectively.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):
Icons: a lot, like once a week.
Books: once a month.
Memes: maybe once a month? Plus one weekly meme I try to do but often skip.
RL: once a month.

All in all, it comes out to three to five posts a week.

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
Icons!
Sometimes picspams.
The RL posts contain photos.
I do one weekly meme that a lot of my flisties do as well.

What do you enjoy most about journaling?
Icons. :D

I don't know, I've been doing it for so long that it's become routine and I don't want to miss it anymore? Probably ... connecting with people all over the world, and sharing fannish excitement and creations.

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?
Once a week, on Sunday.

You really enjoy reading about:
Books, icons, fic recs, my friends' lives. I really enjoy a mix of RL and fannish posts. Getting to know the whole person is what makes the format on dw so attractive compared to other more superficial formats like tumblr or twitter.

You have very little interest in reading about:
Sports. Negativity. Everything else is fair game, I guess?

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
They're fine with me.

I will skip those posts if they're too infantile, but I actually like a good meme once in a while.

About linkspams in particular: I like people who go to the trouble of collecting links to particular topics, and actively seek them out. (Because I have too little time to go looking, myself.)

Full disclosure: I will always skip music videos.

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?
Duh? I am happy to get a single comment. :) And I am happy to get minimalist comments like hearts or hugs, too. I will engage everyone with longer comments, too. I love in-depth discussions in theory, but I usually don't have time to really let them develop.

I tend to leave detailed comments, myself.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?
Few comments are fine. No comments at all... I'll assume they're not reading my posts.
I might unfriend people who *never* comment, but only if I feel the same way about commenting on their posts. (Unless you tell me you just like to lurk, then that's okay).

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?
I try to comment on all of my friends' posts, especially on the RL posts.
But I don't comment on fandom posts for fandoms I don't know.

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances?
I haven't unfriended anyone in years. I used to do flist-cleanup rounds once a year, and if it becomes necessary again, I think I will keep it that way. I make a public post telling my flist that I unfriended, and whoever wants to stay can stay. (It's only happened to me once that someone asked to keep access.)

Unfriending me: just do it.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general?

A lot of my content is my "fandom du jour". Currently, that means cdrama (=Chinese tv shows), e.g. Guardian. But it changes as the mood strikes.

The only constant in my fannish life has been Supernatural, and I sometimes still post fic recs and icons for that.

The most consistent fannish thing I do is gay movie recs and m/m and BL show recs. So if you're interested in that, there will most likely be at least some content about that.

Otherwise, my book recs are a regular occurrence, and those will almost all be scifi/fantasy books.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?

I love dw and its format, and I will stick around for as long as possible. I hope a lot of people think the same way, so we can keep it going.

Just for you: the last five icons I made (and haven't posted anywhere else yet) :

(HIStory 3 | ST:Enterprise | Guardian)

dreamwriteremmy

Is there an interesting story behind your username?

I have two main accounts here on dreamwidth, I am accepting friends requests on both accounts and they predominantly have very different content.

This one

dreamwriteremmy is my personal account, and its story spawns from a fairly niche but popular 2007-2014 LiveJournal self-insert Kingdom Hearts RPG series called World Refugees, which was a spin-off of the ever popular "Zombie Invasion Meme" going around at the time of creation. My character went by Emmy and originally used my old journal

ladybrighid3333. In 2009 I switched journals and chose this name because it was the name my character had chosen for herself in-game a a year or so earlier.

dreamwriters is our writing/art/public-fandom account. The story behind it is that it was a err... typographical error of sorts? XD Haha. We wrote a guest article for a Healthy Multiplicity by the plural friend currently running it a couple years ago as a part of the December Blogging Meme and as a request from a singlet (at least i think they were a singlet) with a plural friend looking for tips on ways to manage dissociation and time-weirdness, and at the time, all our sites used the tag "The DreamWriters Dreaming" and uh said plural friend didn't ask us for our system name tag and assumed that our system name was DreamWriters based on our website names. So, it kinda stuck and we decided it was too much of a hassle to correct them and why not? Superheroes can have 2 alteregos, why can't we? XD So Dreamers United became our personal overarching system name and The DreamWriters is the professional overarching alterego system name, which we use for business/advocacy purposes. And a couple years ago we corrected the username on this journal to be dreamwriters on all its mirrors. :D

Location and language(s):

northeastern massachusetts, currently Lowell MA. I speak predominantly English. I know some Spanish (used to be fluent but i don't remember a lot of it anymore), a tiny bit of Russian, a tiny bit of French-Canadian, a tiny bit of Cantonese Chinese, and a tiny bit of ASL. I'm currently only actively learning Cantonese and ASL, though.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.):
30s

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending:Eh. Proselytizing in general for ANYTHING (I love my Jesus-loving friends and my non-Jesus Loving friends -- I'm a Unitarian Universalist and an eclectic religious syncretist. I blend spiritual beliefs under the umbrella of "most spiritual teachers taught Love". Witch and Healer is a part of my personal spirituality and no one is going to change that for me). Abusive behavior if I get a report from someone else that you ain't a good person. Sometimes we just don't click and i may unfriend you for that too, but generally i'll let you know and i'd appreciate that being mutual.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.?
Sort-of but they're only semi-up-to-date. basically anything linked on the friends only post is fairly relevant.
Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful?
so-so. it's a little outdated still. i haven't gotten around to fixing it up completely.
List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away:
We're plural. We are predominantly composed of fictives and factives (that means people based off fictional people and people based of RL people). We're disabled. We have mental health and learning challenges. We are cat people predominantly, though warming up to dogs. We're queer & an afab nonbinary femme. We are creatives and fandom people.
You mostly write about:
real life, innerlife, ranting, writing, to-do lists, fandom, cosplay, art, graphics, memes/quizzes, occasionally video posts.
You never or very rarely write about:
NSFW stuff on here, politics
Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked?
a mix, but mostly locked
Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)?
Yes. We have 3 requestable filters. We have the cheerleading filter which is a productivity filter -- you post your to-dos, and there's a subcomment thread for people to "cheer on" each other. You can request critiques, if you're doing a writing/art project, however critiques are opt-in on both ends. 😄 We have the In-System Personal Stories filter, which delves into fictive and factive trauma, squicky/taboo system stuff, and basically anything we don't feel comfortable making completely public at the time. The final filter is the Are You OK filter. Sporadically, we will post a comments disabled self-care checkin post that simply asks "Are You Okay? This is a gentle self-care reminder."
Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):
variable. Could be multiple times a day, could be once a month. It really depends on what's going on and whether i'm more on other social media.
Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
Occasionally. Mostly memes/photos/videos. Occasionally linkspams and gifs. I always try to explain/image describe what most photos/gifs are.
What do you enjoy most about journaling?
Getting shit out of our brain basically.
How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)?
I read daily. I may or may not comment. You may have to wait a week until I do my binge commenting spree on old posts.
You really enjoy reading about:
I"m open to anything tbh. I like daily posts reflecting on day. I like posts reflecting on fandom interests even if I don't share them.
You have very little interest in reading about:
Eh i'm not so interested in rl nsfw/kink filters, though i will read them. ❤️ I tend to personally keep my kink stuff on a separate journal entirely from both of the above because i have a couple kinks people have STRONG feelings about. Feel free to ask me in a DM, if you're interested in that one, but i'm really selective about who i add to the locked stuff on it TBH.
Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc?
perfectly fine!
When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity?
Neither tbh. I accept nonverbal/semiverbal/low-spoon commenters! See my commenting policy! :D
Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly?
Not typically. See previous question's link.
What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals?
I may or may not comment. I often look for a blogger's commenting policy, so if you have one I will ADORE you! Often, you may be waiting a week until I do my binge commenting spree.
When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances?
Typically, I will message you UNLESS you end up being the second deal breaker in which case I've been warned that you are not safe to interact with. If we don't click, please tell me you're leaving! That way I can remove you mutually.
AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general?
Young Wizards series, Magic Ex Libris series, Harry Potter, anything Night Vale Presents podcasts/books, The Sims, The Rise of the Shield Hero, Black Clover, Blue Gender, Studio Ghibli, Gravity Falls, some horror stuff occasionally. Sometimes MCU/DCU, various original fictions I follow.
Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends? i don't think so.

tei

Is there an interesting story behind your username? When I was a kid, I found The Book of Runes on a bookshelf my dad's study that I wasn't supposed to be snooping around in, so naturally read most of the stuff there cover-to-cover. I chose the rune teiwaz as part of an LJ username pre-fandom; when I found fandom, I was really taken with the idea of people choosing fandom identities that became second names, and shortened it to "tei."

Location and language(s): The Canadian Prairies; English primarily, relatively fluent in French.

Age range (e.g 20s, 30s, etc.): Late 20s

Hot button/deal breaker issues that will likely lead to unfriending: Bigotry and being an anti, I suppose, though I've honestly never encountered much of that sort of thing on Dreamwidth.

Do you have an "About Me" post new friends can read to get a sense of who you are, the people you talk about regularly, etc.? I have an intro post that's the only unlocked entry on my journal.

Is your profile up-to-date or at all useful? It doesn't have much on it, but there are links to my other social media accounts.

List a few things you think it's important new friends know about you right away: I often write posts with multiple subjects in the same post-- apparently some people don't like that style because they feel awkward only commenting about one thing if they don't have anything to say about the others. I don't mind at all if you comment just about one thing, in fact that's my intention.

You mostly write about: The three major themes are fandom (Sherlock Holmes and Good Omens, at the moment), gymnastics (I started training seriously at 23, and it's now a huge part of my life), and my work (I'm a professional classical musician.)

You never or very rarely write about: No topics are really off-limits, but I don't write about politics or fandom wank often.

Is your journal mostly public, locked, or a mix of public and locked? All locked, with the exception of the intro post.

Do you use filters for certain types of posts (e.g. fandom-related posts, or posts about sex, or mental health issues, etc.)? No.

Your posting frequency (e.g. daily, every few days, weekly, etc.):Probably on average every few days.

Does your journal frequently include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Not frequently, but sure, sometimes.

What do you enjoy most about journaling? Having a record of my life. Dreamwidth is my oldest online account (nuked my LJ, sadly) and it has a lot of stuff about me when I was a teen that I wouldn't have recorded anywhere else.

How often do you read your friends list (e.g. daily, every other day, once a week, etc.)? Daily

You really enjoy reading about: Fandom stuff and whatever makes daily life interesting for you.

You have very little interest in reading about: If you would tag it "discourse" on tumblr, I'm probably not here for it.

Your thoughts on journals that regularly include any of the following: memes, linkspams, gifs, photos, videos, etc? Fine. I mean, I suppose it depends what it's about? Interesting stuff presented halfway coherently is always fine.

When it comes to comments on your posts, what matters more -- quality or quantity? If I wanted lots of content-free content, I'd go to tumblr.

Do you unfriend people who don't comment much, even if you know they are reading you regularly? No, I don't care.

What is your approach when it comes to commenting on other journals? I try to comment when I have something to say!

When you friend someone, but things don't really click, do you unfriend them without warning, or do you send them a note first? How do you prefer to be unfriended in similar circumstances? I don't want a note saying you're unfriending me.

AND LASTLY

Friending memes often ask people to list their favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., but more often than not, those aren't things people actually write about in their journal. Do you have any favourite TV shows, movies, books, etc., that you DO often write about -- not necessarily in a fandom sort of way, just in general? I'm more likely to write about fanworks (both stuff I'm reading and stuff I've written), but I do post about fandom stuff pretty often.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with potential new friends?
