Subscription/Access Policy: I prefer mutual subscriptions while we see if we get along well. If we mesh we can move to granting access. I don't post much under lock, but it does tend to be more personal and I just prefer to share that with someone I already know.

Fannish Interests: Attack on Titan (primarily Hange), Animorphs, Gravity Falls, Blade of the Immortal, TWEWY, Riddick series, Dungeon Meshi, Blue Period, random niche things, one-off books (I probably read more books than I consume any other form of media). I'm a forever-fandom sort of person and never really fall out of love with something once I've been into it, and there are a lot of things I know peripherally but don't write fic or make fanart for.
I like to post about: Books I've read, my own fannish activities (usually writing fic), random anecdotes and observations from life, food I've made, occasional link roundups to things I've found interesting. I'm trying to get more into posting life anecdotes too.
About Me/Other Info: Dealbreakers include MAGA types, conservatives in general tbh. I'm not into generative AI used for fandom whatsoever, though I think analytical AI and some generative AI applications have a lot of potential to improve the world. Purity wankers, and those who think the fic one writes and reads and the pairings one ships reflect on one's IRL morality or stance on what is OK, need not apply. My own journal content is pretty milquetoast for the most part, and warned/cut where it is not, but I am not into the purity police mindset and harassing others over fandom.

Ultimately, my aim is to be kind and inclusive towards others. I'm interested in connecting with others who hold the same values.

Name: Star/Soda

Age: Late 20s

I mostly post about: Fanart, fanfiction, character/story development, personal ramblings

My hobbies are: Illustration, writing, collecting figures, plushies, and other merchandise (both official and fanmade)

My fandoms are: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003, IDW, 1990, Splintered Fate), Pokemon, plenty of other animated TV shows and video games I won't bother listing

I'm looking to meet people who: Share my interests, are open-minded and respectful, and otherwise pleasant and chill to be around.  
 
My posting schedule tends to be: Aiming for at least once a week, possibly more frequently depending on how chatty I feel or if I have art/writing I'd like to share

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I do not tolerate any form of bigotry. AI "art" and "writing" is also a major no-no, and I have a few major squicks on the shipping front that I prefer to avoid as much as possible. In addition, I will not subscribe to or add users to my access list who are under the age of 18.

Before adding me, you should know:  For the moment, none of my entries are locked and anyone is free to subscribe. If an entry has potentially sensitive/triggering content, there will be a warning beforehand. Anyone is free to comment on my posts as well; however, I prefer to interact with others who are at least 20 or older, and will not be responding to comments by minors.

Fannish Interests: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (mostly 2003, also enjoyer of the IDW comics, 1990 live action movie, and Splintered Fate video game), Pokemon, too many animated shows and video games to name
I like to post about: Fanart, fanfiction, my original characters, character/story development, general illustration, whatever video games or shows I happen to be playing/watching, any personal ramblings that come to mind
About Me/Other Info: Came to Dreamwidth for the quieter environment and to unlearn some unhealthy social media habits. I'm mostly going to be posting fanart, but I'm hoping the more relaxed environment might encourage me to start writing again as well. I suffer from severe social anxiety, but I do my best to be kind and considerate to everyone I meet--once I open up to someone, I can become quite the chatterbox, haha. 

Name: Risa

Age: 36

I mostly post about: I ramble briefly about writing, wrestling, people, whatever I'm feeling. I try to save my most crude and raunchy language/ideas for the fanfiction that I write. As a person who's been on the Internet long enough to know what it's like to run a Geocities site, I've seen... oh god. I've seen things. We've all seen things we cannot unsee. Sometimes I can be a little sardonic and grumpy about it, but I have a sense of humor. I'd always rather laugh, even when I'm crying. Not in a toxic positivity sort of way, but more in a way that I don't burden people with too much emotional baggage.

My hobbies are: Writing fanfiction, reading books and wrestling fic, watching emotionally damaged pretty people in tights get into stage fights, cooking and baking, and walking/jogging/hiking as my antidepressant (I've lost 95lbs. I am a weight loss advocate, but I'm neither fatphobic, nor do I view weight loss in an of itself as fatphobic. Let's respect each other, OK?) I'm not nearly the gamer I used to be, but I have dabbled enough in JRPGs, D&D, and Magic the Gathering that we can have conversations about all of these things.

My fandoms are: World Wrestling Entertainment (the superstars, particularly Dusty's kids f*ck the company, though!), South Park, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Final Fantasy (in general, but 9 and 8 are overwhelmingly my faves) Stardew Valley, and gosh. Take me back to 90s/early 2000s Nicktoons and anime all day.

I'm looking to meet people who: I'm looking for chill friends who do their own thing, but take the time to say hello every now and then. I will try to do the same. I've been showing up to DW every day since I registered, so I dare say I'll be around. The only other social media site I use is Tumblr, and I don't do much there other than like and occasionally reblog wrestling stuff. AO3 is the site I'm most active on. I go where the fic goes.

My posting schedule tends to be: I'm aiming to update 3-4 times a week about any thoughts relevant to writing, but I won't force it. If I got nothing to say, then that's that. IRL, my life is super boring. I work. I exist. Not much to say about that. Carving out a little writer life on the Internet is my excitement.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: People under 18 is a hard no. MAGA is a harder no. If you are an existential threat to my people in the LGBT community, I don't respect that and never will. I will fight this prejudice until my dying breath, including any random internalized sexism/queerphobia that may still linger inside of me.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm just a writer, guys. The current flavor is kinky wrestling yaoi, which you can read on AO3 if you're interested. Other than that, I'm cobbling together a collection of original work. My favorite DW community is fic_promptly, and I plan on posting a lot of fills. I'm still getting used to being back on DW. Apologies if I'm not always consistent.
