D. Gray-man Friending Meme

[unsymbolic]

I know this comm has been rather quiet, but I miss seeing life in the DGM fandom. I was thinking that it'd be good to get to know some more folks who are active in this fandom these days, maybe spur some fresh discussions, share theories, inspire new fanworks, or just make some new friends.

So to that end, a friending meme!

Just fill out the handy textbox:
<b>Name:</b> Whatever you go by online. <b>Friending Contacts:</b> List your DW, LJ, plurk, tumblr, aim or whatever other ways you'd like to stay in touch with fandom friends. <b>A bit about you:</b> Share whatever info you'd like and introduce yourself however feels right. You could give your age, your timezone, or any vital need-to-know info for prospective friends. <b>DGM interests:</b> Tell us your favourite characters or ships, your favourite parts of the manga, what keeps you reading, or anything else you'd like to say about the series! <b>DGM fandom activities:</b> Do you write fic, draw art, make icons, roleplay? (You can use this space to share links to some of your fanworks too, but please leave appropriate warnings if linking any NSFW content.) <b>Fandoms you're into besides DGM:</b> It's always fun to discover when you have lots of tastes in common. <b>Other hobbies and interests:</b> Because it's cool to meet people whose interests overlap. <b>Anything else?</b> Other info or just a fun .gif or image.

Chat with people here, add them on other sites, spread the word and tell others that this meme is up!

And, of course, please play nice--if you strike up a conversation with someone and it turns out you don't click, there's no obligation to be buddies long term. But nothing ventured, nothing gained, so don't be bashful!

Name: Jay!
Friending Contacts: I am most frequently on plurk at justkiddin. It's a mix of an RP/fandom and RL plurk, with a general bias towards fandom-related things.
A bit about you: I am 21 years old and live on the West Coast up here in Canada. I got into the DGM fandom sometime in late 2008 and it's been my main fandom ever since then.

DGM interests: I have an enormous Lenalee bias, which becomes blatantly obvious whenever I put up icons/fanfic. My OTP was, once upon a time, Allen/Lenalee but since getting into RP, my shipping preferences have gone all over the map and I will essentially ship anything in the series given the right development. I'm really excited that we've finally begun to get into the 14th backstory! I miss seeing the minor characters around, but maaaan, we've been waiting for this forever.
DGM fandom activities: I used to write a lot of fic, but that's dwindled recently. Nowadays I focus more on colouring icons, because I roleplay an early canon Lenalee in a game as well as several alternate Lenalees in PSLs and memes, and I like to make my own icons. Sometimes, I also play Fou! My muselist can be found here, if anyone's interested.
Fandoms you're into besides DGM: Like I said above, DGM is my primary fandom and it kind of eats my brain, but I also follow Lost, Legend of Zelda, Madoka Magica, Nabari no Ou, Gurren Lagann, The World Ends With You, Durarara!! and Baccano!, and I just started Claymore a week or so ago.
Other hobbies and interests: Man, this is always the hardest question. I write short stories/fiction when I have free time, and bake a lot. I tend to put pictures of food I've made up on plurk to torment everyone. I like going on adventurous camping trips with my family. I read when I can, so I'm always up for book recommendations. What feels like every other week, I go through major gaming stints where I'll play GW2 and other games like a madwoman, so there is also that.

Anything else? I will return to this meme later in the day to chat it up with the rest of you! And yes, I am posting this from an RP account...

...you're the Lenalee I rped with. ;_; And did I run into you at Otakon last year?

[anklets]

...Oh my gosh! You're that awesome Reever, aaaaaaaa. /)'w'(\ I missed seeing you around.

You wouldn't have run into me at Otakon, though, no. I haven't ever gone to a convention outside of Canada.

[mudousetsuna]

Oh, I mixed up the Lenalees I did meet there. I know there was at least one from the DR, and a few more cosplayers. (not that I was complaining, dressed as Komui lol)

--But, YAY! ;_; I'm REALLY REALLY sorry for idling out. I can't focus. And then I get scared that I over-committed, and kept telling myself I'd go back, but never did. T_T I really liked RPing with you! OTL I'm super flattered you like my Reever, one day I'll write him again, maybe if I can get my head together at some point.

*friends you now* X)

.....









Would it have been Otakon 2012?

Oh wait, duh. Last Otakon.

......... because yeah, I was Lenalee at Otakon 2012.

[mudousetsuna]

Yeah!! =D

I never did friend you after that, I'm sorry! ;_;

NO OH GOSH DON'T BE SORRY. I came home from the con and had like a week to pack up before we moved from our apartment so it's really okay 8D 8D 8D

I'm totally adding you on plurk though!

/dances

[mudousetsuna]

Oh, I hope your move went okay! I understand being busy too well. @_@

Yay! :D

[anklets]

Aaah, you met Cas, then!

And don't worry about idling out, it's not a problem at all. I enjoyed RPing with you, too, but it wasn't an obligation for you to do that, especially if you had trouble focusing on it or balancing it. :) That said, if you do ever feel like playing Reever again, I'd love to thread with you.

<3!

I definitely want to again sometime. If I can get my head around this math class I'm taking, maybe I can write something in the DR or a musebox. T_T I hate algebra .
