Friending meme

[colls]

Hello ConFab people!

I heard that the Tumblr corporate overlords are up to shenanigans (not the good kind) and that several folks are coming to DW as an alternative.

Seeing so much activity on DW over the past few days made me think of my fannish friends from ConFab and I began wondering if you were thinking of using DW, too. If so, please join in this post to connect with other ConFab attendees. Past, present, and future attendees are welcome!

Simply cut & paste the form in the text box below into a new comment to this post, add/remove whatever you'd like. Then scan through other replies and see who you recognize (or perhaps meet someone entirely new!). :)
<strong>ConFab Name</strong>: <strong>I'm the one who...</strong>: (how might people might remember you from this or previous ConFab events) <strong>DW username</strong>: <strong>Other platforms (please specify)</strong>: <strong>Active/primary interests or fandoms</strong>: (keep this fairly short, so people will read it!) <strong>I post about</strong>: (fandom, real life, combination - do for each platform, if you want) <strong>I post/check my feed</strong>: (daily, weekly, twice a year, etc) <strong>I want to find people that post about</strong>: (specific fandoms, fandom in general, books, RL, SJ, etc) <strong>I am most interested in interacting with people on:</strong> (DW, Twitter, Tumblr, etc) <strong>My blog is</strong>: (public, selectively public, friends-only)


FYI - I've copied some of this meme format from a very active one that's going on over here on snickfic's journal, if you're looking to expand your DW reading list (think of LJ's "flist") you may want to check it out!
For those of you new to DW, or maybe you haven't used it in a while, here's another post full of useful info for people migrating from Tumblr.

Cheers!

Hello!
I should've included FUTURE attendees in the post as well (editing that in a moment).

I've been due South adjacent for much of my fandom experience and would be happy to add.

"Due South adjacent"! <3 <3 <3

*scampers off to add you to my DW Circle*

ETA: I've scampered back after reading your DW profile and seeing that aurumcalendula is in your Circle. Have you seen the due South vid she made for me? "I Just Want You to Know Who I AM" -- a due South vid.

LOL - meaning I knew a lot of people who were into the fandom "back in LJ days". I did wind up watching the show because so many people were fans - and I did enjoy it tremendously. Especially Dief. ♥

ETA: Yes, I have seen that vid!! It's fantastic! I am a former attendee of VividCon, although I didn't make it in person the last few years.
SEE!?!?! FANDOM ADJACENT! :)

"Back in the LJ days" yes. Actually I got into due South and into LJ at almost exactly the same time.

Also: <3 Dief!

When were you still going to VividCon? I started in 2013.

I had to go check my posts because I couldn't remember. My last in-person VividCon was 2012 (the year the vid Starships was born!)

[ride_4ever]

Ah. Then I missed meeting you by one year...and it was because of due South. I was registered for the 2012 VividCon...that was actually supposed to be my first VividCon...but then the RCW 139 concomm announced the date for the 2012 RCW 139 (the all due South con in Toronto) and it was the same time as VividCon...and due South is always first in my heart, so I had to cancel my 2012 VividCon attendance and went to Toronto.

Sounds like a very reasonable reason to me. :)
Now that very same hotel hosts ConFabCon! So, it'll be a familiar venue if/when you're able to attend next year.

I will totes be there for ConFabCon in October 2019 (I already wrote "ConFabCon" at the top of the October page on my 2019 calendar). And when I first learned that it would be at what was formerly the VividCon hotel I gave a little squee of delight at the familiarity of it.
