FF canons I’ve experienced: FFVII + AC, LO, CC, FFT, FFIV, FFV, FFVI, FFVIII, FFIX, FFXII
FF Fandoms I’m active in: FFVII - I'm kind of mono-fannish, but I read fic in XII and Tactics.
Ways I participate in fandom: heinous posts of glee, reading fic, appreciating fanart, trying to contribute more to Fanlore articles, trying/failing to write my own fic.

5 characters I love and one sentence why
1. Tifa - She has overcome so much, and will do anything to protect those she loves, even if it means lying to them.
2. Balthier - The greatest FF hero ever created, sorry, but totes true.
3. Celes - It was so great to have a badass lady also in touch with her femininity. I guess that's true of lots of FF ladies, though.
4. Ashe - Moving past a place of grief and a broken kingdom, she's able to help run a rebellion be a BAMF. 'Nough said.
5. Agrias - A lady knight who protects Alma like no one else - AWESOME.

5 pairings I love and one sentence why
1. Balthier/Fran
2. Locke/Celes
3. I'm not really into specific ships, so long as they're written in a believable way....
4.
5.

Themes, kinks, tropes that I really love to see in Final Fantasy fanworks: Loyalty, exploration of throw-away lines from canon, elaborate world-building, most especially fics that make me reconsider characters from canon. Like, fandom has sold me on Aeris.

One ridiculous thought or question I have about FF and/or fandom, to start discussion with my new fandom friends: HAS ANYONE ELSE READ THAT BARRET/RED XIII PORN FIC AT AO3?! I.....I LIKED IT.

Anything else?
I have some fannish angst because I don't feel like I contribute a lot.
At the moment, my locked posts talk about various health issues, most especially chronic pain that I've had for the last 15ish months (IT SUCKS).
I've read FF7 fic for like, over a decade. Still kind of feel like I'm not "in" fandom, though.
