Posting here because I haven't in years, and I struggle to find people who share even one or two interests with me, so the suggested template doesn't fit me any better than most things. I'll use what I can of it, and I apologise for being very rambly. :)

Name: [personal profile] sweetsorcery

Age: well over 18

I mostly post about: Writing, Fandom Events (Exchanges, Challenges, etc.), Life and Health Challenges. After that, it gets murky, because I often want to post about the many, many things that interest me and then just talk to myself about them instead, because my tastes couldn't be less mainstream.

What are these interests: Writing M/M (see fandoms), Victorian and Edwardian Ghost Stories/Horror/Weird Fiction, Golden Age Adventure Stories, Audiobooks and Vintage Radioplays, WWI and WWII (specifically British Military History, Aviation, and Naval warfare), British Social History from the Victorians through to the middle of the 20th Century, Ancient History, Art (esp. Romanticism, Neoclassicism and Surrealism) and Architecture (esp. Art Deco, Tudor, Jacobean), Archaeology, Ancient Egypt, Paganism, Spirituality, Reincarnation, Mythology, Folklore, Parapsychology, Taoism, British Dance Bands from the 1920s - 1940s, Baroque Music (incl. Opera very selectively), Romantic Era Music, Pop from the 1950s - 1980s, Dancing (sadly mostly passive these days), Romantic Poetry, Old Movies (I say 'old' instead of 'classic' to avoid confusion, because again, my favourites are pretty obscure to most people and include a lot of War Movies), Silent Movies, Age of Sail, etc.

My fandoms have been many over time, but these are the ones I'm most likely to read/write now and in future: Biggles - W E Johns, Famous Five - Enid Blyton, Vienna Blood (still on my first run-through of the TV series, but loving it), Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson, Vintage Ghost Stories (I keep adding to the list of inspiring ones to write about), Vintage War Movies (ditto), 18th and 19th Century RPF, Ancient Egypt RPF

I'm looking to meet people who: share one or more of my eclectic interests

My posting schedule tends to be: What is a schedule?

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: You might assume from my old-fashioned interests that I'm rather conservative. Nope, not unless it comes to wishing people were still polite and well-spoken. Think of me as a kind of Ariadne Oliver type... and if that means anything to you, we might get along well. ;)
While I don't post or read about Politics if I can possibly help it, please keep on your side of the enclosure if you're homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist, anti-science, anti-personal freedom, supportive of fascist regimes, or prone to diving down conspiracy theory rabbit holes. If you don't believe in the motto "Live and Let Live", we won't get along; that extends to writing too, because while I don't write anything needing AO3 archive warnings, you'll regularly find themes and pairings in my writing that offend conservatives and antis. Also, you must be over 18 too - I don't censor my writing or my posts.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a Pisces with a Scorpio ascendant, and an INFP, so I'm consistently spinning day dreams and easily distracted. I avoid conflict, but I have claws/pincers for emergencies. I'm agoraphobic and aegosexual.
I have CPTSD and Fibromyalgia, and I do talk about that. I mention this because it's cost me "friends" before, so if you easily get sick and tired of people whose daily life mostly consists of being sick and tired, and who sometimes need to vent their grief about that in their own journal, you might like to avoid me. It's unfortunately part of who I am, but I promise, I don't post detailed medical horrors. If I do post about it, it's usually as an apology for disappearing for a while and under a cut.
I sparingly use generative AI art to help me visualise literary characters of whom no proper visuals exist, but I don't use AI in writing. I don't claim AI art as my own, and fandom icons are about the most public use I make of it; if you're going to lecture me on that, please just move on.
I get hyper-fixated and will post about my fixations at length with the least amount of encouragement.

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE



It's an old game, a good way to get to know people, or test how well you know someone you know already. Maybe you have to play, maybe it's just for fun. It doesn't matter; it's time to play.

  • Post your character to the meme with three facts about themselves, two of which are true, one of which is a lie.
  • Characters respond with their guesses.
  • Respond in kind to those who tag you, discuss their guesses.
  • Tag around and challenge others!

The Coffeehouse Meme


it's a cold day...wherever you are. brrrrr. you are outside, walking around (maybe holiday shopping, or portal jumping, or maybe you clicked a weird pen or phone booth button and landed here. whatever the case, you are now outside a quaint little cafe in New York, right by Central Park, on snowy, December morning. did I mention that it's cold? you walk into the cafe and immediately feel the warmth of the room. there's a fireplace on each side of the little shop, which helps un-nip the frost on your nose. the baristas at the counter great you kindly, and tell you to have a seat and they will send over one of their girls to take your order.

stay a while?


instructions:
1. make a comment (blank or otherwise) with your character's name and canon in the subject. they have entered the cafe. they can leave or stay or even sit down and read a book if they have one on hand. whatever your preference.
2. people respond with their characters meeting others inside the cafe. you can do whatever you want, except fight. oh, arguing is allowed, but sword fights? nope.
3. have fun!!

LOOK OF LOVE

Just another fun lil' icon prompt meme.

ONE. Comment with your character and info.

TWO. Use the icon that best represents the expression your character has when they see the person they love most in the universe. You know the look. Smitten. Lovesick. Head-over-heels, they hung the moon and stars.

THREE. Characters reply as if they're the subject of that gaze.

Unlove me

The "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" Meme

You've been suddenly cursed with an affliction! The powers that be in the world have decided to make it so that everyone in the world has a limited amount of words. You have a specific amount you can speak per day, which is awarded by how useful you're judged to be.

💬 Once you're out, you're out, you can't talk until midnight. Of course, there are ways to gain more...

💬 You can convince some hapless sap to give you some of their own or trade services. You can even sell... whatever someone is willing to buy.

💬 Words also happens to be the currency used. Which means that depending on how they were judged, the poor might now be the rich and vica versa. But be careful - you do have a limit, after all!

💬 This can be done as texting or prose - becoming mute doesn't mean you can't text. Any written word stays intact.

Could you kill to save a life

"Could You Take A Life?"


Simple question. Not a very simple thing to answer. Seeing as how many canons — from action to horror — deal with death in one way or another, it's a pretty reasonable thing to ask around these parts.

So, when posed with the question, could you take a life?, how does your character respond? Are they a cold, hard, remorseless killer, someone who's never even thought about murder until now, or something more complex?


  • No blank top-levels.

  • Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: could you take a life / could you kill someone?

  • We're asking for honesty here, but it's not as if we have fact-checkers waiting around. Lie if you want. We're not your parents.

an ic meme

 



Before Bumble, and Tinder, and Facebook Marketplace, we had personals, a place where loneliness went to die.

The meme is simple — treat your top-level the way your character would treat a personal ad in the newspaper, or on Craigslist. They should write what they're searching for in the header, and fill the body with more details as needed. Advertise yourself! Be direct! Be honest!

Those who reply are likely here to flame you, but that's to be expected. No one said love was easy.

FEMDOM MEME


This one's real simple: femdom. You're a lady, whether you present femme or not, and you're going to take charge of the situation. Whether it's a hardcore session or something a little more tame, we all know ladies run the world. Let your imaginations run wild and have a good time!

• Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops. Unless you're like, in a sexy cop uniform I guess. Then YOU'RE the cop.
• Reply to other people's top levels!
• Have fun!

My life among the dead

TABOO meme

Most societies have certain mores that are unspoken rules; humanity itself even has such conventions, grilled subconsciously into our minds for our own safety. Don't go out alone at night. Avoid getting wet when it's cold. Don't pick fights with those stronger than you...okay, some of us missed the boat on the last one, but the point still stands. Society's rules tend to be more variable, though they apply to most aspects of life - including sex. In fact, bending the rules on what's considered acceptable in romance and sexual encounters can lead to anything from ostracization to death, depending on the time and culture.

So, play it close to the chest if you're going to do a big, big, big t a b o o. Is it worth the risk?

How to Play


- Comment with your character and preferences. Be sure to include what you want and what you DON'T WANT. Blank comments are fine; info is even better!
- Reply to others.
- Be fun and respect others, as this will deal with some heavy topics and potentially triggering material s.

Hello there!

gimmighoulcoins: (now that's a GOOd idea!)
[personal profile] gimmighoulcoins posting in [community profile] addme_fandom
Name: Rascal
Pronouns: He/Him
Age Group: I'm in my early 30s - please only add me if you're 20 or older!
Country: USA
Subscription/Access Policy: Very general fandom posts are public, whereas things that are access only are probably more along the lines of "mini-essay pondering a bigger subject through the lens of fandom" or a fanwork idea I'm not quite sure about yet, but what to share to a degree.
What I chat about: Fandom and hobbies are probably what I'll most frequently chat about, but I also love getting analytical and waxing philosophical about life - often through looking at fandom things. I find it fun, and my shared reflections tend to be more neutral-to-positive. When it comes to fandom specifics, I love writing fanfic and AUs, and exploring ideas for those, and a character deep-dive is one of my favorite things! I also just like sharing the enthusiasm I have for my favorite things, fandom or otherwise.
I'm looking to connect with people who: Want to talk and share their enthusiasm, too! I'm a chatterbox who really wants to extend his fannish social circle - I'm a househusband who sometimes ends up with a lot of free time and I'd love to spend more of it engaging in fun talk! I'm also looking to connect with people who are open-minded and accepting, and not interested in anti culture or other fandom discourse.

Main Fandoms: Pokemon has been my forever fandom, ever since Pokemania hit the States. I kind of fell off in the GBA/early DS era (Emerald and Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, specifically) but got back into it in a big way since and have never left. I'm mainly into the games, but I have a lot of fondness for the early seasons of the anime, and I've really been enjoying the new Pokemon Horizons series? I'm really behind on it, though. My other main fandoms are Disney Duck canons - a lot of 'em, but I'm especially fond of the 2017 DuckTales reboot, Darkwing Duck, and the various comics - and Fraggle Rock, which I discovered well after its time but I love - and now it has a reboot, too, and I also love that!

Other Fandoms: Delicious in Dungeon, In Stars and Time, Steven Universe, Dimension 20's Fantasy High, The Muppets, Sonic the Hedgehog (games, the movies, and the IDW comics - though I'm super behind on the comics), Zeddy Zi's Ramshackle, Lilo & Stitch, Tangled, Ratatouille, and a lot of other animated movies... Oh! And Phineas and Ferb is back and ngl, I'm kinda losing my mind over that. Such a fun show, I love its themes of creativity
What I create for Fandom: Fanfic! And occasionally icons, but mostly fic. I've really been getting back into it lately.
Other Hobbies: Reading, bracelet weaving, Dungeons & Dragons... I'm starting to get into art and I'm trying to get into cooking as more a hobby than housework. I also love collecting! Currently, I collect bookmarks and merch of Meowth from Pokemon.

The Crossover Love Meme

Everyone loves a good crossover. Serious, natural, or cracky, playing outside the norm can be fun. Shipping is fun, too, and add the two together? INSANE amounts of fun. Really, that's enough said. This meme is for crossovers, shipping, and crossover shipping.

how to play
- Comment with your character, putting any preferences you may have.
- Comment to others! Remember, this is a crossover love meme, so commenting to castmates will result in the goblins coming to eat you. Or something.
- Use the RNG to pick your poison for you or just wing it.
- Have fun and watch your wildest dreams come true. Like magic.
