WELCOME TO THE IJ QAF FRIENDING PARTY
Whether you're a lurker, a little shy or a big mouth like me, we're all here for the same reason: WE LOVE QUEER AS FOLK
and we want to celebrate our love! One of the loudest messages from QaF is about how you can pick your family and that's how I like to think of all of us.

Now we just all need to be introduced and that's what this party is for: meeting new and

If you don't know what to say, just tell us how you found QaF or fandom or both. What's your fave fic or who makes the best icons? Maybe mention where you live (your timezone). Or, it can be just as simple as commenting with a smile :D.

Also, feel free to ask people questions or jump into conversations and know that everyone is accepted and loved, even if English isn't your first language.

Wow, I'm late to the party. Hope nobody minds? Figured it'd be nice to introduce myself here, since I'm relatively new.

My name is Denise and I'm 22 years old. I'm from the Netherlands, so Dutch is my first language. I grew up with two very openminded parents. My father got me my first computer and now I can't do without.

I've been in multiple fandoms for about six years, I think. At first I was more into anime (even back then I occasionally read yaoi, which is slash), but that died down fairly quickly. Movies and actors came along, which eventually led me to TV shows. I found that making graphics and (sometimes) writing fic was something I could do. Sometimes even do well, since people seemed to like it.

I was actually on TV.com looking at an episode guide for House when I saw an icon with two guys kissing, in big bold lettering proclaiming 'Brian and Justin/QAF'. I typed in QAF and read the introduction and a few of the plot outlines for the first episodes, which got my interest.

QAF has never aired in the Netherlands (as far as I know) so I ended up downloading every episode (I was relieved to know the show had already ended and I could watch everything in one go). That was January 2006, I think. I watched all the episodes during the next few weeks. Since I already knew about fandom, I got online and started looking. It turned out that most roads led to LJ, so I joined and lurked until I found IJ.

So here I am. Nice to meet you!
