DREAMWIDTH FRIENDING MEME
Heyo!
So after a few plurk discussions, the want to start journaling again a la Livejounal came up a few different places, and this idea was born!
We ask if you participate, that you attempt to post 1-3 time a week, and comment as much as possible to help jump start personal journaling here on dreamwidth. And if you use your journal already (or if you start from here) we'd love a link back to this meme! The more the merrier!
You can also follow this community for both daily writing prompts and a monthly friending meme!
To participate, copy and paste this in a comment, fill it out, and go make some friends!

Age| 26
Other platforms|
Fandoms| MCU (though it is a weird, selective relationship), Hamilton, Hannibal, Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, lots of podcasts and some other stuff
Interest| Myths, folklore, urban legends and fairy tales, writing, reading, horror in all forms and flavors, I'm starting to play PC games a little bit and that's fun. Drawing is a thing I try my hand at every so often and that makes me love collecting art when I go to cons and stuff, I love music of all kinds. Give me something that's weird and adorable at the same time an I am all for it. I love b
Speed Bio| I'm a nonbinary, queer, mentally ill, legally blind oddball who happens to hate where they live. I've two cats, my roommate has a snake and we live ina building that is usually surrounded by feral felines. I work from home (when I can get work) ghostwriting erotica and my desk is a routinely cluttered mess but it is my home within my home and i love it.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| Real life, writing babbles, some fic, some original work and every Friday I post a check in for people to come talk about the things they've done that week.
Posting habits| Right now I am posting at least twice a day, if not more. This is not normal for me but I am doing two memes that have me doing this. My posts are not generally long and if they are, I try and put them under a cut. I like doing memes, so I post a few of those on the regular and uhm...Stuff.
Warnings| I am mentally ill and sometimes I spill my brain on that topic. Suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression and all that fun stuff come up sometimes. However, I warn for it and put it under a cut.
Looking for| Honestly, I'm pretty much good with whoever wants to come hang out! :D I like people on the internet and am happy to converse with anyone who's interested.
Deal breakers| Don't be a horrible person and I think we're good.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! i am no horribly interesting but my hair often tends to be amusing colors and my eyes are mismatched.
Anything else? Nope!

Age| 41 (for two more weeks sob)
Other platforms|
Fandoms| ONE PIECE. Also sometimes Dynasty Warriors/Koei Warriors in general. I dabble in others but not enough to note.
Interest| Cosplay, roleplaying (DWRP), cats, gardening, fanfic, shitty taste in music...
Speed Bio| I own my own business as a costume commissioner and tailor (full time), I've been around fandom a good eighteen years, sometimes post fic on AO3, transman, 2 cats and a yard that I have to mow.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| mostly cosplay stuff, with occasional commentary about things that mean a lot to me, like nostalgia, days when life is hard, cats, and my yard/garden. Oh yeah and cooking and booze.
Posting habits| I still have the old habit of putting lengthy journal entries behind a cut, so that people can just get a summary of what I'm probably going to ramble about and then skip at will. I also am judicious about friends-locking anything that gets really personal or depressing. Journal RP has kept me in the habit of responding to comments, at least! Holy shit my icons are like 2007-era outdated though, sorry.
Warnings| I use fuck like a comma, and I do sometimes need to talk out my heavier depression bouts. May or may not talk about trans issues.
Looking for| Cosplay friends and One Piece fans, other over-35 fans who want to get together to chase the kids off the lawn.
Deal breakers| there's a reason I don't tumblr. Excessive negativity, call-outs, and harassment won't be tolerated.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! I used to be a radio DJ back in the 90's.
Anything else? I am too drunk to find a gif right now, isn't that terrible?

Other platforms|
Fandoms| Uhh. Sailor Moon, Madoka Magica, Fatal Frame, Voltron, Law & Order (don't look at me), American McGee's Alice, Fate/, Assassin's Creed, DMC, Claymore...
Interest| I'm an artist, this is my art site. I'm really going to delve back into some social movements with the election this year. But I also like gothic lolita, creepy stuff, metal, punk, hair, makeup, my pets, BJDs, creepypasta, and other creepy things. Also more art.
Speed Bio| I'm studying graphic design online and I work full time at a company. I recently got promoted over there, so my job means a lot to me. I live out of Colorado, so I guess I have a love/hate for it, time to time. I also have two parrots, a rabbit, and a cat. Right now, I've taken in a second cat because she had nowhere else to go.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| I'm probably going to go back and post about RL, though it's been EONS. And art stuff. I've posted some hair stuff because someone asked me about hair things lmao.
Posting habits| I'm older and the last time I did journal entries, it was about five years ago. I've grown a lot, so I'm sure they won't be as long as they were. Then again, we'll see.
Warnings| I have some pretty bad anxiety disorders, but I'm not going to post triggering content. I'm not going to delve too much into it, but if that's gonna bother you, there you go.
Looking for| If you're into the same stuff, have some anxiety too, or just live around the great state of Colorado, you are welcome.
Deal breakers| ???? This is a silly question, we can just go on our merry way if there's an issue, I don't care. I'm at the point in my life where I'm too old to be vested in these worries.
TL;DR you do you.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! I was never good at these things, you know. I can write backwards? I dunno.
Anything else?

Age| 26
Other platforms|
Fandoms| MCU (in selective and mostly fandom-based ways), Harry Potter, all things Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant, Hamilton, Hannibal, Firefly, dipping my toes into Overwatch and Avengers Academy, and many, many others on a semi-regular and usually lurky basis.
Interest| Witchcraft, Tarot, media analysis, fandom analysis, writing, vids, filk, dreamwidth RP, tabletop RP, mythology and folklore, musical theater, uh... things.
Speed Bio| ISFJ Cancer Ravenclaw (probably a slightly crispy Hufflepuff Primary/Ravenclaw Secondary) with too much fondness for things that let me sort myself, other people, and characters into categories. I am a perennially exhausted, mentally ill freelance Tarot reader and editor. Witch, genderqueer, generally queer, autistic, very bad at being interesting or not rambling.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| Right now it's real life rants, rambles, and updates, occasionally interspersed with memes, fandom, and creative stuff. I am trying to up the balance on the creative stuff, fandom stuff, and general life/talking points, and lower the amount of ranting and breakdowns, but it's a process.
Posting habits| Fair warning: I have been awful about updating regularly and commenting, but I'm trying to fix that. This month I'm doing a January prompt meme and Snowflake, which have me posting an unusual amount; we'll see where the dust settles after, but I'm hoping at least a couple of times a week.
Warnings| I am depressed and anxious and occasionally a little suicidal, I have kind of messed up physical health, my family is full of issues, and I occasionally brainspill about any or all of these things. I try to warn and cut, though. I also occasionally write about uncomfortable things, but ditto on the warning and cutting there.
Looking for| People who meta, people who like talking about creative stuff, people who talk about mental illness/disability/queer issues/representation/religious thoughts and journeys.... Uh. Anybody who thinks they might be interested? I am bad at people but I like them, the more the merrier.
Deal breakers| Don't be a bigot and we'll probably be fine.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! I am terrible at these. I'm scared of dogs? ...I got nothing.
Anything else? Nope, still nothing.

Other platforms| natalia_vdova#0150 on Discord, elsewise not really? I have a plurk but it is mostly for RP junk and dumb plurk memes.
Fandoms| MCU, Marvel comics, Red vs. Blue, random video games (The Secret World, Borderlands 2, Marvel Heroes, Avengers Academy, and so on)
Interest| Cosplay, lolita fashion, sewing, crafting, history, languages, dumb superhero TV series, and so on.
Speed Bio| Marvel nerd, creative type, more or less housebound and always screaming about Black Widow and Bucky Barnes.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| I've never done the personal journal thing, so tba. I'm interested in using it as a place to toss fic thoughts/ideas/related junk (largely BuckyNat with maybe a little Clintasha or ot3 stuff; a drabble I did several months back is here for anyone curious; I haven't done much outside of RP since and I'm looking to change that!) There will likely be Comics Wednesday commentary/reviews, maybe some sewing and craft project tracking/organization. Maybe a place to force myself into trying to do some kind of art stuff? I loved the idea of Inktober, even if I missed it completely (and my art is Not Good, but I hear practice is the best way to fix that). Also maybe some icon posts, which I do either (rarely) on commission or when the urge strikes. Maybe some cooking things, though I don't get to try new recipes as much as I want to.
Posting habits| Who knows? Looking to post at least a few times a week.
Warnings| I'm injured, so possible venting about doctors if day-to-day stuff comes up, but nothing too heavy. I use cut tags / warnings if that ends up not being the case. I try to be inclusive and aware of what I say, but I am not perfect. I'm female, cishet and went through a lot of stuff to get here; if I say something that seems offensive it's unintentional and I'm always willing to hear other peoples' thoughts/feelings as I'm aware my journey was not someone else's. Gender politics are important to me.
Looking for| Nerdy types, people to talk about Marvel nonsense with, people to recc stuff and scream about ships and things and character meta with.
Deal breakers| Ship wars, the "slash is morally superior" crap, just. Really not into negativity overall, honestly.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! Could probably quote Captain America: Winter Soldier line for line.

Other platforms|
Fandoms| Makai Ouji, Yuri on Ice, Koei Warriors series, Voltron, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Final Fantasy series (currently playing FFXV And FXIV) and various video games and animanga series.
Interest| Writing, working out, cooking and baking, trying to be more organized.
Speed Bio| Don't make me do this, it's just sad :/ But I'm working as a housekeeper at a hotel and my life hasn't gone a lot of interesting places, but I am working on self improvement this year. I mainly rp and write fanfic and game when it comes to my fannish output. I also do have ADHD, though it's not a big part of my identity, but it does make being on track a bit of a thing sometimes.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| I haven't used this thing in over five years probably so... why not now? Another self improvement goal. We'll see what happens as I feel this out. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while.
Posting habits| I don't know at this point? But I'm going to look to make a good try of commenting around and writing up things.
Warnings| Above interests as mentioned and my awful fanfiction. Most of my ships tend to be m/m as well. Otherwise it's going to be my hopefully not horribly whiny real life things. Probably talking about weight loss and all, but I'll clearly label those posts and cut theme. /why do you hate cutting things tumblr people?
Looking for| Fun people to chat about my interests with, both rp and non-rp! Just more people to talk with in general.
Deal breakers| Just don't be a dick at this point.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! Wow my original lj was made in 2004. God I need to update my icons too.
Anything else?

Fandoms| OH MAN. I'm a fandom butterfly. Right now, mostly Star Wars, Yuri!!! on Ice, and MCU. Perennial favorites include Gundam Wing, Final Fantasy (VIII, XII) and I'm slowly getting into FFXV.
Interest| Art (I'm an art major, gonna start actually posting original art), mythology, animals.
Speed Bio| *deep breath* I am very boring. I'm in my second round of college (first go round, I got my associates in computer science; now, studio art major with a focus on painting). My dad passed away June 2016 and I am still pretty fucked up about it. I live with my mom and way too many animals. I'm sleepy all the time.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| Fanart, sometimes fanfic, media reactions (I'm currently watching Sherlock and having reactions to it, haha), fandom comings and goings (challenges/communities I want to participate in, stuff like that), sometimes Real Life (ideas for class projects, work annoyances, class woes).
Posting habits| UH well, pretty regularly? Almost daily? I try and post longer entries although sometimes they're short, idk, I post a lot. My journal is pretty established.
Warnings| Occasionally I like problematic things, like manipulative/unhealthy ships! I also am really frustrated with fandom's current shipping wank disguised as social justice and sometimes I post about that.
Looking for| People who post at least once a week, people who talk about their fandoms, people who enjoy fandom.
Deal breakers| Kink shamers, ship shamers, excessive negativity, acting like fandom is this horrible place; if it's so horrible, why are you here?! Also, the standard, racism/sexism/homophobia. Get outta here with that shit.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! UH. I'm good.
Anything else? I'm primarily a m/m shipper? Figured that was something that's important to note.

Fandoms| Hello, I am Persona trash. Also, I really, utterly adore Yuri on Ice right now. Some other fandoms I'm into are Final Fantasy, FMA, Bleach, Star Wars, Tales of, and some others. I dunno; there's a list out there somewhere I'm sure.
Interest| Indie game development, sprites, game hacking/asset ripping, electronics (y'all seen that $9000 Acer laptop yet????), yarn crafts, writing, drawing
Speed Bio| Hello I'm Skyla and I'm a chronic nerd. Electronics engineering is my jam, and I'm working as an assembly technician at the moment.
YOUR JOURNAL
What do you post| ...I haven't posted in this journal in four years, and I looked at it and got a massive dose of cringe going on. Four years ago self, why were you like this? Anyway, I will probably post about fandom things -- mostly Persona, because like I mentioned, I'm trash for it. I'll also toss up links to my writing, maybe a few electronics hacks, tricks to do in RPG Maker, that kind of thing.
Posting habits| I try to avoid ranting about myself, because I know not everyone gives a damn. Sometimes it happens, though. Other than that, I'll try to keep to what I mentioned above.
Warnings| Uh... might post some NSFW stuff, but they'll be behind a cut and marked as such.
Looking for| Chill people.
Deal breakers| Not so chill people.
Tell us any interesting thing about you! My cat is a precious old lady and also possibly Satan, and for all I know she's making me do this.
Anything else?
So I'm the one responsible for ripping all the Ultimax sprites and slapping them up on The Spriter's Resource, if any Persona fans were wondering. One of these days I'll actually finish.
