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 (LJ, IJ, DW, other): I'm kelly_chambliss (with underscore) on IJ, AO3, and DW. On LJ, I'm kellychambliss with no underscore. (Yeah, I wasn't thinking when I set up that one.) But except for DD, I'm not on IJ much. All my posting is on DW and LJ. I'm not on Tumblr. I have a Twitter account but I never check it.
What you do in HP fandom and/or how long you've been here: I write a lot of stories about the older characters of the HP world. I've written for DD; I edit The Quibbler Report (rarepair and gen rec list); I used to mod the Minerva_Fest. I've been in HP fandom since 2008.
Favorite HP characters or pairings: McGonagall is my favorite by far. But I love all the older women (except Trelawney, for Reasons). I'm also fond of Snape, Moody, Aberforth, Filch, Flitwick. I love femmeslash. Favorite pairings: Minerva/Hooch, Minerva/Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank, Minerva/Amelia Bones, Minerva/Severus, Minerva/Moody, Minerva/Aberforth. Of the younger generation, I'm partial to Hermione, Millicent Bulstrode, and Neville.
Kinks, themes, and tropes that you eat up with a spoon: Voyeurism, bondage, long hair, hurt/comfort, corsets, smoking, power plays, dub con, missing scenes, non-magical AUs, unexpected plots that nonetheless fit canon
Kinks, themes, and tropes that you could really do without: serious humiliation, mommy/daddy play, chan, total fluff, mpreg, incest. But I'll read just about anything if it's done well.
Other fandoms or fannish things you enjoy: My first fanfic-writing fandom was Star Trek Voyager, and I still have a soft spot for Trek. Downton Abbey. I'll be going to Leviosa in July.
What you do in real life or other hobbies and interests you have: I teach. I also collect old books, watch a lot of old movies, drink a lot of tea and coffee, do some amateur acting, read a lot of history, play a lot of Clash of Clans.
You should friend me if: You like older rarepairs and don't expect too much m/m slash.
