friending, friending party

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Friending Party!

Welcome to the Second Annual QaF Friending Party!

Last year the party was hosted here by

happier_bunny. The party was such a huge success the first time around that we asked

happier_bunny if we could host another.

Many of us started out our fandom careers by lurking.

outlander,

selenebj,

ceee,

nyxa, and

maybe742 are just some of our new friends who made the jump and delurked at last year's party! We haven't been able to shut

outlander up since. ;) So whether you're brand new or you've been sneaking around for months or even years we hope you'll come out to play!

How does a Friending Party work? Long time fans and new fans alike, just comment here to let everyone one know that you are willing to be friended and share a little something about yourself while your at it. :) If you are feeling really shy you can friend everyone without commenting, but I swear we don't bite! Also feel free to welcome others to the party and get to know each other!

qafmaniac even made some lovely icons as welcome gifts.

And for all of you who have been playing longer, we have

Don't forget to look here to see who has friended you and to add them back.

Check back often or track the post because the last friending party continued getting newcomers all year long.

When you are done here come play the Asylum Insanity Trivia Game with us!

I found QAF in winter of 2007 through youtube and have been hooked ever since. I knew about fanfic from reading Harry Potter stories, so I went looking for Brian/Justin. I found IJ and lurked until I was encouraged to come out and play by the amazing

outlander when she made her 6th month anniversary post. *kisses*

I don't post very much and I'm still kind of a lurker, but I am always open to new friends :)
