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!

I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: oh boy. OK so. BAD goes back a long long long time to the days in Bryan ADams fandom. On the forums, we were called BADFans. And Falcon is for the Millennium Falcon. *sigh* sometimes explaining a username I've had for 21 years can be a little embarassing 😂🤦

I also like RPing, playing/learning about TTRPGs, and dabbling in tarot, among other things...

Age: 37
Location: Pennsylvania, USA
Other blogs/socials: I'm also florianschild on tumblr and AO3/Squidgeworld
Dreamwidth Stuff
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
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

Other blogs/socials: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/wearpersistencewell This is purely fandom.
Dreamwidth Stuff
What do you post about? A bit of everything, though I don't really do day-to-day entries. I talk about fandom (more general fandom/fannish musings than specific fandoms or media, though that does come up too), why people do the things they do, writing, musings on my own life, sometimes spiritual/paranormal stuff (but not too often). I also sometimes talk about politics, but I limt it.
How often do you post? It depends, but generally a few times a week.
What communities, if any, are you involved in? fictional_fans.
What kind of accounts do you like to follow? I love when people are up for conversation. I'd love anyone who shares some of my interests.

Fandoms: My most active fandom is Schitt's Creek, but I also dabble in Our Flag Means Death, Heartstopper, 9-1-1. Will also talk for days about Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Heartstopper (mostly the show), The Good Place, Parks and Rec and Firefly.
Favorite Characters: Not good at picking things. I'm very much Chidi from The Good Place in that way. :)
Ships: Not the world's biggest shipper. But I do love David/Patrick from SC, Yusuf/Nathan from Heartstopper, Eleanor/Chidi from The Good Place, Oluwande/Jim from OFMD, and Ben/Leslie from Parks and Recreation.
I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: When I was sixteen, "Author By Night" sounded real edgy. I figured out pretty quickly that it was not, but it had already stuck. Several decades later, I'm still ABN, although I am thinking of changing it to my tumblr username.
Favorite season (it's ok if it's not summer): Awards. ;)
What's your vibe? I'm cautiously optimistic. Creative. A wee bit snarky. I think the shows I like say a bit about me, so maybe go by that?
What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): Perhaps Schitt's Creek, just because they always filmed it in the summer.
Opening song on your summer mixtape: Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.

Fandom Stuff
Fandoms: Twisted Wonderland and FFXIV primarily! Others as the interest rises

Ships: TOO MANY DHJKSHDJKS I have a bias towards all my OC x Canon ships, but I DO have some canon x canon ones I like, too! (It's just a LOT, we'd be here all day xD)
Things you're into but not fannish about: music, I guess? there's lots of folks I listen to, but I would consider myself a casual enjoyer at best and not a "stan". xD (I'm sorry I was REALLY lost on this question b/c I usually keep to myself in fandom and don't really interact outside of my friend group HDJSHJKDS)
I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: A few years ago, I had a dream about a cherry with large human teeth that was staring at me in a dark room before it finally said "you better wake up before you forget how to". Woke up talking about haunted cherries and the name stuck xD
Favorite seasons (it's ok if it's not summer): Summer and Fall!
What's your vibe? quiet, introverted creechur from the fog that you could probably coax out with gummy bears and Dr. Pepper if you play your cards right xD

Opening song on your summer mixtape: Feels like Summer - Childish Gambino

Age: Officially in my mid-twenties 🎉
Location: Deep South, U.S. (for now...)
Other blogs/socials: This isn't a blog or social, but it has links to those, so I'm pretending it counts. Also been into Sheezy.Art lately, but I haven't added that to my about yet.
Dreamwidth Stuff
What do you post about? Myself, my life, things I've found on the net, and fannish stuff.
How often do you post? Often. Once a week at minimum, usually. If I grant you access, it could be multiple times a day at times.
What communities, if any, are you involved in? All the communities I want to be involved in are dormant, and while I have no problem shaking them awake, I don't want to be the only one posting :(
What kind of accounts do you like to follow? I have this in my profile, but those who share adjacent interests (I know the fandoms for my specific interests are mostly long dead) and use DW casually, or like a diary.
Fandom Stuff
Fandoms: Still don't feel like I'm a "part" of any fandom, but the things that are mentioned most in my journal are Angelique, Neoromance in general, Fire Emblem (4 + 16 mainly), visual kei (not many modern bands though), Guilty Gear, and lately Naruto. More generally, I like joseimuke (note that I avoid gacha games), JRPGs, and visual kei.
Favorite Characters: Felix Fire Emblem, Clavis Angelique, Testament Guilty Gear, and Shannan Fire Emblem have stood the test of time so far.
Ships: Whatever's funniest. (Okay, Izark/Noriko, Michel/Giselle, Felix/Dimitri, Felix/Bernadetta, and Clavis/Lumiale.)
Things you're into but not fannish about: A whole bunch of shoujo animanga, video games (invariably ones with Japanese cartoon aesthetics), and music. I guess I'll specifically call out The House in Fata Morgana, From Far Away, Utena, Ojamajo Doremi, Splatoon, Style Savvy, Castlevania (the games!!!!!!!!!), and older R&B. I also like history and language and fashion.
I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: It's the default name for the player's continent in Angelique. It's a reference to Elysium too, but it's not me who's obsessed with ancient Greece, it's Angelique.
Favorite season (it's ok if it's not summer): It's summer! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What's your vibe? No clue, honestly. Unless this is asking what kind of vibe I like, in which case I just don't like mean people. I understand the urge to hate on stuff, but you must pace yourself...
What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): The Splatoon series, if it isn't summer, is definitely a "school's out!" kind of thing.
Opening song on your summer mixtape: It apparently released during March, but I strongly associate hot weather with Here I Am by Rick Ross anyways. I could try to think of a better or more popular song, but I'm speaking from the heart here.

Fandoms: My current favourites are Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Prodigy, Bob's Burgers, Final Space, classic sci-fi and horror movies, The Brokenwood Mysteries,

Things you're into but not fannish about: depends each time
I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: Lilly is from when Cold Case first started and someone in RL insisted that Lilly Rush was my twin because of certain specific life events mentioned in the show were eerily similar to mine and C is the first letter of [redacted]'s last name. I couldn't start using this properly until 2008 or 2009 because LJ wouldn't let me rename to it and when I got to DW it made sense to grab it.
Favourite season (it's ok if it's not summer): usually winter except for when it's icy.

What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): no idea

Fandoms: I've been watching a bit more anime than I have for a while (looking forward to the summer hikaru died and season 2 of dan da dan), reading Japanese light novels and Chinese and Thai webnovels (plus solo leveling), watching some Thai and other dramas. I'm generally but not exclusively interested in queer or adjacent media. Perpetually into Hyouka and Otsuichi’s GOTH, a kpop veteran, xxxHoLiC forever, but otherwise too many fandoms.

Things you're into but not fannish about: Fandom™️ is a state of mind.
I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: The name I used when I made my ao3 account was too long when I wanted to rename my LiveJournal, so I skimmed the list of purged accounts and found one that seemed intriguing, without realizing the slang meaning. I've gotten over the regret by now. Blue isn't even my favourite colour.
Favorite season: Autumn in places where the colours of the foliage are beautiful.
What's your vibe? "...or I could stay at home."
What is your summeriest fandom?: Dennou Coil. That liminal space golden hour section is especially haunting.
Opening song on your summer mixtape:
Probably HOLiC by Keiichiro Shibuya (from the soundtrack for the xxxHoLiC 2022 live-action film). YT Music/Spotify/Apple Music.

What do you post about? Whatever strikes my fancy, really—mostly through takes on and away from media I love and/or loathe, or what I
will probablywind up making of my own inspirations in turn.How often do you post? Ideally, once every 1–2 weeks; realistically, around once or twice a month(ish)
What communities, if any, are you involved in? Not counting mere subscriptions, of course, I’ve so far checked into
What kind of accounts do you like to follow? Other folks whose contemplations I vibe with—or at least those I find interesting enough, in any case—as well as things that I think will bolster my brain or brighten my day.
Fandom Stuff
Fandoms: Pokémon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Megami Tensei, My Little Pony, the Nasuverse, Marvel, DC, and more (mostly in the realm of animanga and video games)
(A Few) Favorite Characters: Konata Izumi (Lucky Star), Dante (Devil May Cry franchise), Metal Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog franchise), Blaze the Cat (Sonic the Hedgehog franchise), Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic), Godzilla
Things you're into but not fannish about: I’m pretty big into paleontology—and the broader natural world besides, for that matter. Likewise, I’d think myself the type of thinker who’d think calling themselves a ‘thinker’ is a bit presumptuous…I think. (Just look at the ‘-isms’ I have tagged as Interests as of now; you’ll get the idea.)
I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: Back when I first set up my AO3 account, I liked the idea of being a ‘guildmaster’ of sorts (in the heroic fantasy RPG setting sense) as an author, whimsically sending out my characters on assignments to their various (mis)fortunes—around that time I also had a bit of a reptilian bent going on in my online handles (sparked first by a username on a now-defunct forum for a now-dead Kickstarter campaign, and then honored by my Reddit account); thus, all in all, ‘GuildScale’ wound up being the first banner for my personal portfolio.
Ambitiously enough, though, I soon started to consider cobbling a more unified presence between my writing endeavors and my online indulgences besides—and considering the latter (such as my Discord username) had come to be united by robotic motifs instead (as derivatives of a hand-me-down Roblox account whose username I didn’t bother changing, if you can believe it), a portmanteau plopped itself in my proverbial lap soon enough. (All that being said, while my mindset regarding creative works has evolved beyond the conceits behind that ‘guildmaster’ analogy, I have to admit it has a nice ring to it…and I also don’t want to go to the hassle of changing my AO3 username especially.)
Favorite season (it's ok if it's not summer): Fall
mostly owing to Halloween, tbhWhat's your vibe?: Depends on who you ask, I guess. Personally, “rot of fascination” is a(n honestly banger) phrase that came to me as I was writing this up—but as per my journal’s tagline, I encourage you to make of me what you will.
What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): The source material of My Little Pony (and Friendship is Magic especially) I’d say strikes the appropriate notes of warmth and whimsy—and I have similarly fond (albeit rose-tinted) memories of the
hayheyday fertility of its fanbase back when I was just barely shedding tweenhood.Opening song on your summer mixtape: “Welcome to Station Square”

I Designed This Meme So I Get To Ask Weird Stuff
Explain your username: okapi was the name of an African bus company and I applied it to my car and when I needed an AO3 username I went with okapi. Here's a longer explanation with photo [https://stonepicnicking-okapi.dreamwidth.org/148097.html]. I needed a qualifier for DW so (from the radioplay Spellbound) I learned the term 'stone picnic' and though it applied to me
Favorite season (it's ok if it's not summer): autumn
What's your vibe? I really like this song: Moonlight by Agust D. I think it encompasses my vibe.
What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): Venom & Eddie are fun to put in summer settings. BTS has plenty of summer photo shoots and summer songs. Of course, many murders can happen in summer so all my detective fandoms come into play.

Fandom Stuff
Fandoms: All of them? I don't really abandon fandoms, just get new ones that I become more active in but the old ones will always crop back up eventually. I am currently probably mostly active in various K-pop fandoms: Stray Kids, Seventeen, Ateez, BTS, TXT... Other 'big names' are things like Supernatural, Bandom, Grimm, Lewis, Stargate Atlantis, Guardian... But honestly, I've written fic in what must be about 100 fandoms now (quickest way to browse is via
Favorite Characters: Haha no, I cannot start listing them here. I've got a strong leader bias in all K-pop groups though, I'll say that much.
Ships: Yeah, as above. But worth mentioning that I have both incest ships and I write RPF so if those are hard limits for you to the degree you'll never want to see them in your circle then I'm not the person to add.
Things you're into but not fannish about: … like hobbies?? Or media that I like but don't get fannish about? If former then I also write poetry and original fic, swim, enjoy cooking and dyeing my hair silly colours. If latter then I'm not sure I understand the question... :D The continuum is very long you see and just because I enjoyed a piece of canon and never wrote fic about it, doesn't me that I suddenly won't ten years later.

Explain your username: I'm Kat and this is my Lair
Favorite season (it's ok if it's not summer): Sorry, it's autumn. Because Halloween and start of school vibes.
What's your vibe? From my intro post: Female, fabulously in my forties, Finnish but living in the UK, academic, university lecturer, writer, poet, fandom slut, geeky, polyamorous, pansexual, kinky, romantic, fluffy-headed, soft-hearted, open-minded, strong-willed, observant, introspective, over-analytical, assertive, prone to working way too much, sarcastic, silly, tactile. Also into cats (not like that) and woolly socks (maybe a little bit like that).
What is your summeriest fandom? (You can interpret this however you like….): Lol I'm going to say Wheel of Time because the Dark Lord caused climate change and it got sweltering.
Opening song on your summer mixtape: I... don't have a summer mixtape but I make annual 'faves' lists and the opening song of '2025 Faves' is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27rdSyt-Qt8 Discuss? :D

Fandom Stuff
I'm not really a fandom-y person even if I like fanfiction and stuff. I've just kinda grown out of it????
Fandoms: Superhero stuff (mostly Batman, DC and Spawn), anything with giant robots or monsters (Getter Robo and Godzilla spring to mind), nostalgic gaming franchises like Pokemon, Super Mario and Sonic. Horror is always good but I still haven't found a favorite creator yet (I watched Tusk recently and it didn't appeal to me like I had hoped...)! Lupin III. Creepypasta. Shin Megami Tensei. Street Fighter will always have a place in my heart. Metroid!!
Favorite Characters: Benkei Kuruma, Musashi Tomoe, Jack Napier/The Joker (89!Joker my beloved), Lazlo Valentin/Professor Pyg, Dan Hibiki, Chun Li, Sakura Kasugano, Akuma, Elena, Skullomania Knuckles the Echidna, Blaze the Cat, Tails the Fox, Tekno the Canary, Shortfuse the Cybernik, Luigi, Princess Daisy, Sam and Twitch (can't seperate my brotp), Wanda Blake, Rodan. King Ghidorah. Zenigata!!! Fujiko, Lupin, Jack Frost. Zelenin. Admin Tabitha, Alder, Iris, Red, Leaf, Blue/Green, Koga, Janine, (really what Pokemon characters DON'T I like???), Reed Murdock, Samus Aran, Ridley, the chozo.
Ships: Not really a shipper even if I am fond of some. Ask me about brotps!
Things you're into but not fannish about: Again, not very fandom-y so all of them, really. Please take a look at my profile for my general interests! But mainly I like paleornithology, enjoy creepy shit and monsters, am a musicphile, enjoy reading and comicking, philosophy and developing my own as well as going outside and lifting/dancing for fitness reasons (that's a recent one). I'm always looking for new hobbies as well. I have a lot of niche interests. Oh yeah, I love animals and birds are irl dragons for me <3
