addmeHello, all! I know I'm a little late to really consider this a new year's post, but here I am looking to meet a few new people nevertheless.
About me:
My name is Katie. I'm 47 years old, and this summer will mark my 25th year of journaling on LJ/DW/both.
I'm a writer by profession, primarily of literary fiction with occasional book reviews for variety. I live in Philadelphia with my partner of 27 years (she's a high school physics teacher). We have a pair of eight-month-old kittens named Oscar and Zorro. I'm the oldest of three sisters in a pretty close-knit family. My sisters have five kids between them, and being an aunt is basically my favorite thing.
I love books and am always reading. Favorite authors include E.M. Forster, Marilynne Robinson, Leo Tolstoy, Virginia Woolf, Ursula K. Le Guin, Lauren Groff, Andrea Barrett.... The list could go on and on. I also love the outdoors and learning about nature. I've been a birdwatcher for years; more recently I've gotten into things like butterflies and insects, reptiles, wildflowers, and more. In summer, my favorite thing is finding wild orchids. My partner and I like to travel, and when we do, I use it as an opportunity to learn about the amazing variety of nature in other places.
In case you haven't already guessed, I'm a very introverted person. I spend most of my time at home, where I keep myself busy writing, reading, or in the kitchen. I like cooking, baking, and food preservation, and I'm always working on some sort of kitchen project or trying to teach myself a new skill.
About my journal:
My journal began as a place for me to keep track of my reading, and that's still the subject I write about most often. Other frequent topics include the interests mentioned above: writing, nature, cooking and baking. I tend to post more about what I'm thinking than about what I'm doing at any given time, although I do sometimes use my journal to keep track goals or record projects that I'm working on. I often include photos. I would say I post about once a week...but realistically it's probably a bit less than that.
If you're looking for a friend who comments on every single post, I'm probably not the right person for you. I do like to interact and I always read my friends page, but I prefer to comment only when I have something worth saying. Also, I've found over the years that I don't mesh well with extremely prolific posters. Once a day is fine, but if it's more than that I have trouble keeping up.
My journal is friends-locked for privacy, but I will be happy to add anyone who's interested in checking it out. And I won't be offended if it turns out that it's not your style.
Say hello if you think we'd get along!

Gonna try to make a tradition of re-promoting myself yearly in January~
Name(s): Azure or Bede. I answer to both, so use whichever floats your boat! Age: 20-something Hobbies: Writing (fanfic, essays and fan analysis), drawing, editing (videos, images and gifs), coding, researching (almost exclusively things that don't matter), and gaming! Fandoms: I mainly participate in video game fandoms! Right now, I'm really into Pokémon (my one true fandom), Cookie Run, Great God Grove, In Stars and Time, Kingdom Hearts, Vocaloid, and Splatoon. I'm at least passively interested in most Nintendo games, though. I'm also a furry (rabbit fursona)!
I mostly post about... My fandoms, non-fannish interests (including disability, queerness, the indie web, writing, art and alterhumanity), and some personal stuff! I'm looking to meet people who... Have similar interests (whether that be fandom or non-fandom), or who just pass the vibe check and have interesting things to say. My posting schedule tends to be... A little bit sporadic! I go through small periods of inactivity. When I come back, I always cross-post everything I've posted onto other platforms with the back-dating feature, though! I love commenting on other people's posts, and try to do it as often as possible. When I add people, my dealbreakers are... Bigots, right-wingers, and AI "artists". Christians who try converting others, or who don't CW for religious discussion. (No offense to the latter, it's a personal thing.) Regarding fandom, I'm squicked out by Harry Potter (I'm trans; I hope you can understand!) and Hazbin Hotel, and have pedophilia/incest/rape as triggers. Before you add me, you should know... I'm autistic and otherwise mentally disabled, so please be patient with me! I'm from the South of the USA, so I use petnames very casually ("honey, darling, dear," etc). You can also (or alternatively) add my account for my fanfic and fandom meta exclusively, fairyfic.

Announcement: Small Fandoms Bang Open for Artist Sign-Ups!
Jan. 9th, 2026 07:52 amspikedluv posting in bigbangindexsmallfandombang, the big bang for small fandoms, is open for Artist sign-ups for Round Fifteen!We currently have 33 stories in 36 fandoms (this includes crossover fandoms), so check out the Preliminary List of Fandoms and then head on over to the Artist Sign-Up Post to sign up!
The Sneak Peek post goes up on (or before) Thursday, February 5 and Artist Claims open on Saturday, February 7.
A 10,000-word big bang for small fandoms!
Please don’t be worried if you aren’t familiar with many of the fandoms listed; since the challenge is both multi-fandom and small fandom, we expect that you might not be. For that reason we have given artists 6 weeks to complete their fanart, and are charging authors with assisting their artists with character descriptions, screencaps, etc. Also, the types of fanart we accept is pretty broad and not limited merely to cover art and icons.
So, if you like to create fanart, including graphics, fanmixes and podfic, please check us out!
Hi!! I'm new here and still trying to understand how it works :P

Age group: Late twenties
Country: Born in Brazil, currently living in Germany
Subscription/Access policy: I don't have any locked entries and don't plan on having them. Feel free to subscribe! I'll subscribe back :)
About me: I was born and raised in central Brazil and am currently an exchange student in Germany. My major is Linguistics and Literature. I'm still not sure what career I'd like to pursue - for now, I'd describe me as an aspiring writer and researcher. I'm bisexual and in a long-term relationship. Since 2020, I've been in treatment for bipolar disorder. My current interests include fandom, creative writing, reading (especially Nachkriegsliteratur and Brazilian literature), linguistic variation, traveling, and hiking. I'm a bit awkward, but love to talk and exchange thoughts and interests!
Fannish interests: The usual stuff - reading fanfiction, shipping, fanart etc
Fandoms: I'm currently more involved with bandom (mainly FOB and P!ATD), but still have a lot of love for fandoms I used to be active in, such as Sherlock BBC, Doctor Who, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, and Homestuck. I'm also a Little Monster, a big fan of Fleabag, and into vertical dramas :D (has anyone here watched Pool Boy? Haha)
Ships: Ryan Ross/Brendon Urie, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Dave Strider/John Egbert, Dirk Strider/John Egbert, Fleabag/Priest, Doctor/Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones, Dave Grohl/Taylor Hawkins, many ships from vertical dramas etc
What I like to post about: I've been mostly venting and talking about my day, but I'd like to post about fannish stuff, other interests of mine, and original works (mostly poems)
Before adding me, you should know: I'm mostly okay with RPF and vent a lot. DNI if your ships involve incest or anything illegal (you know what I mean), or if you don't respect the fact that I don’t like to meddle in other people's drama.

Hi, I am new hooman
Jan. 8th, 2026 10:50 amchihibun posting in addme_fandomName: Chi or Chihiro
Age: eh
I mostly post about: My own thoughts. Tumblr interactivity felt hollow so I cam e here.
My hobbies are: making up AUs and drawing digital art on crack ships when I have the motivation. My current hyperfixation is Aqua from Kingdom Hearts and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7
My fandoms are: currently just the AU I've created for Kingdom Hearts. Didn't like the ending of the third instalment so now it's just a Keyblade Guild living in peace with Aqua x Sephiroth as my main focus.
I'm looking to meet people who: wanna chat about any similar fandom interests with me. Happy to talk about Kingdom Hearts, K-Pop Demon Hunters, Zootopia, ATLA and LOK (no LOK haters please), anything nostalgic from the early 2000s, really
My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: no NSFW stuff
Before adding me, you should know: Due to religious reasons, I do not celebrate or participate in anything to do with Easter, X-Mas, Halloween or Thanksgiving
