[conuly]

I left a comment at the recent friending frenzy (still ongoing, I believe) and then was inspired to post at addme and addme_fandom.

Name: conuly

Age: 40s - old enough I have to do arithmetic to remember the exact age!

I mostly post about: A lot of link lists with some personal stuff, the occasional poem or video

My hobbies are: reading and, recently, birdfeeding. Also, snuggling my adorable pets. I'm more likely to want to read fannish things that you all post than to post my own. So, a great friend if you want more people reading your stuff, possibly less great if you want people to write stuff for you to read.

My fandoms are: I'm a bit voracious when it comes to reading material, but I trend towards sf/f. Recently I've re-read the Imperial Radch trilogy and the entire Shoes corpus by Streatfeild and am trying to finish that last season of Jane the Virgin before it goes off Netflix. I've also been watching ST: Voyager with my niece, ever since we finished Lower Decks.

I don't always post reviews of things I consume or fanfic thereof, but I definitely read it when other people post those things, either their own or links. I always appreciate a good rec :)

More generally, though obviously transphobia and homophobia is bad, I do like to read Harry Potter fanfic to this day... especially if the writer agrees with me that the Weasleys are terrible parents. (Sorry, they are.)

I'm looking to meet people who: are interesting to read! But I don't care if that's mostly fannish or mostly not, mostly personal or mostly not, mostly news or mostly not.

My posting schedule tends to be: I like to fill up my calendar, but I don't really post every day. Instead, I forward-date entries so that if I skip a day, no big. This turns out to be easier to manage than backdating entries after the fact.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Listen, I'd like to say that politics doesn't matter... but it does. If you're in favor of Donald Trump then you will not like me, nor vice versa. Just figure on the opposite of GOP talking points and, well, that's where my bleeding-heart goes.

With that said, although I'll post articles on the situation in the mideast, I do not discuss Israel/Palestine with people whose names I know, only with totally random strangers. Comments about the topic in my journal will get frozen, and screened if they say anything less anodyne than "Gosh, it's terrible what's happening to everybody".

Before adding me, you should know: I complain about my period every single month, and will continue to do so until conditions improve. Also, if you leave a comment here saying something like "Do you want me to add you?" or "Can I add you?" that'll trigger some annoying and weird social anxiety, so it's best to just add me if you want to and don't if you don't, and I'll do the same on my end.
