Friending Meme

[florianschild]

Maybe you struck up a conversation while you waited in line for the roller coaster. Maybe you and a questionably large group of friends all tumbled out of a van and walked in together. However it happened, you're now here at the Carnival with your friends. The best experiences are all the richer for having fun and interesting people to share them with. Let's all get to know each other and make some friends to hold our hands during the scary rides or split a basket of fries with.

Feel free to post your answers in the comments or on your own journal and share a link. See you around the fairgrounds!

What do you post about? Mainly books and book reviews. I want to start posting more about my crafting hobbies and my productivity and goal setting activities.
How often do you post I am trying to post at least once or twice a week, but I don't always manage that.
What communities, if any, are you involved in? Not too many, but I like booknook and I just joined everykindofcraft.
What kind of accounts do you like to follow? I really love following accounts that post meta, analysis of literature, memes, and linkspams. I'm not in a lot of the big popular fandoms so I tend to scroll past a lot of fic.

Fandom Stuff
Fandoms: Lately it's been Ginn Hale books, Clare Siobhan/Sims 4, C.S. Pacat, Westmark by Lloyd Alexander, and I guess a bit of Wolfstar (technically the fandom is Harry Potter but it's like… it's own fandom at this point lol)
Favorite Characters: Kahlil (The Rifter), Laurent (Captive Prince), Eugenides (Queen's Thief), Fitzchivalry (Farseer), Sean (Life is Strange 2)
Ships: Sirius/Remus is my OG. I'm now firmly in the Fitz/Fool camp as well. Other than that I tend to stick with canon pairings. Actually, I think Fitz/Fool actually is a canon pairing…? I've only read through the end of the Tawny Man trilogy.
Things you're into but not fannish about: Gilmore Girls, Life is Strange 2, Parks and Rec, Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, fitness stuff, vegan cooking, productivity and self-improvement, sewing, coloring, musicals, indie folk music, journaling, skin care, board games and card games (although honestly a lot of my time atm is just spent hanging out with my toddler)

I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: My username is a reference to the Westmark series by Lloyd Alexander. To be one of Florian's children is to be accepted into the found family that my revolutionary firebrand heart desires.
Favorite season (it's ok if it's not summer): IT ISSSS SUMMER
What's your vibe? Super cheerful, excessive use of smile emojis, overthinking everything. I'm quite earnest so I sometimes get confused by excessive sarcasm or snark.
What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): I tend to strongly associate things with the season in which I first read/watched/listened to them. So for me this is probably In the Heights (the original broadway soundtrack) or Gilmore Girls (most people associate it with fall but for me it was a summer binge show).
Opening song on your summer mixtape: The Way by Fastball

[dr_zook]

Oh man, I knew that song, but would absolutely not have been able to tell you band and/or name, haha. Thank you for fixing this!

[florianschild]

Yeah, it's one of those weird songs that everyone knows but forgets about!

[author_by_night]

I love Parks and Rec! I'm also here for book reviews.

I'm not in the Harry Potter fandom anymore, but was for many years. I was a huge Remus fangirl. :)

Friends?

[florianschild]

Definitely! Sirius was my fave, but I have grown to love Remus a lot through fandom! :D

[liriaen]

Ohhhh Fitz/Fool! I love that. I loved those books to bits. Although I didn't know how to handle the fact that Robin Hobb really despises fanfic. Fitz/Fool it is!

[florianschild]

Yes, they are so good! Fitz/Fool has completely captured my heart. I need to force myself to read the non-Fitz books in the series, but I just love him so much!

As far as authors hating fic goes... haha I just basically disregard that. Old people gonna old.

[liriaen]

I remember when I read the Tawny Man trilogy for the first time; that subtle, magical m/m being elevated to canon made my heart jump.

So I was doubly set back/ frustrated when I heard about Hobb‘s anti fanfic stance. Hadn’t she written what every fanficcer dreamt about? And then wanted to keep it all hers, apodictically? That made no sense.

[winterfirelight]

Oh gosh, In the Heights is such a summer show!! A good reminder for me to give that a listen again soon while the weather is warm :) And thanks for making this event happen! I'm excited for it!

[florianschild]

It's got the best summer vibe! I really love that show. :D

You're welcome! I'm so happy you're here!
