twilightsorceryThis month is Daily Deviant's 10th birthday, and we're celebrating with two entire months of events and activities in which everyone can participate. To kick things off, our first party game will be a Freaky Friending Meme! And yes, even not-so-freaky folks can join in. ;)
The fandom has both grown smaller and split off into different directions over the years. As a result, a lot of us are no doubt missing out on meeting some truly great people! Have you found yourself complaining that your friends list has become too quiet or bemoaning the fact that you don't know anyone who shares your love for Hagrid/Giant Squid? Or would you just like to meet some fun new friends? Then this meme is for you!
You know how this goes, right? Just copy the form below, fill out your answers, and post it in a comment. Then wait to see who finds you interesting. And while you're waiting, check out other people's comments to see who else shares your likes and dislikes.
Note: This form is just a suggestion! Feel free to remove any lines you don't want to answer and add anything else you'd like to include. Tell us about yourself in any way you prefer!
To get as many potential new friends involved as possible,
please ADVERTISE the meme! All you have to do is copy the code in the box below and paste it into a post of your own.

Go forth and friend!
The best place(s) to find you: livejournal and also tumblr
What you do in HP fandom and/or how long you've been here: Write fic. My first (no longer available unless you scour the wayback machine) was posted Feb 7, 2001. So I just passed my 15 year HP fandom-versary.
Favorite HP characters or pairings: Can't say I have one particular favourite character or pairing. I generally like anything that isn't canon. I am not a huge fan of OBHWF or Maurauders.
Kinks, themes, and tropes that you eat up with a spoon: I like romance and the meet-cute trope. Found families are another trope I enjoy. That thing where boys are stiff and reserved until they have that one breaking point where everything just flies out the window. I like reading about female pleasure, and maybe a little of male orgasm denial, but not necessarily where it takes violence to get there, yanno? I dunno. I'm still kind of vanilla and I'm trying to work my way past that.
Kinks, themes, and tropes that you could really do without: Hmmm that's a hard question. I suppose if the writing is done well, I could read a lot of things. Except rape. Rape and chan. Child abuse is not sexy.
Other fandoms or fannish things you enjoy: I like Agent Carter and I love X-Company. But no one I know watches X-Company, so I feel more like I'm in a fandom of one with that one. Orphan Black is amazing and I would love to find some fantastic art and/or fic for all three. Nothing I've found so far is all that interesting.
What you do in real life or other hobbies and interests you have: I'm a loan shark by day (not really. But kinda. Sorta.) and a sloth by night. Except on Wednesday nights where I spend two hours herding cats. And by herding cats, I mean I'm a Girl Guide leader and my group of twenty 9-11 year olds meet on Wednesdays. I have not murdered one yet. Go me. Other hobbies include travel, going to cons with
You should friend me if: You want to? I might not be the best person to friend if all you post is Snape fic. I don't hate him, but I also don't read anything about him. I lean more towards het than slash.
Anyhoo. That's me.
