DOINK! Friending Meme!
We’ve always wanted to have a friending meme for Doink, but... in an exchange where gifts are surprises, and gifters and recipients are big secrets, it never seems like the right time. So we’d like to have one now! No one has to worry about ruining the big reveal, and we all get to have fun and make some friends!
If you’d like to participate, we’ve prepared some text you can copy and fill out to tell the community a little bit about yourself, where friends can find you, and which parts of Final Fantasy fandom make you sparkle like a happy Megalixir. Feel free to fill out as much or as little as you’d like - we encourage everybody to share their fandom likes and loves, so that you can connect with like-minded fans, but it isn’t necessary.
The way to play is quite simple:
Just two notes before we start:
Enjoy!

The way to play is quite simple:
- Copy the text, fill it out, and leave a comment! We’ll have two posts, one for LJ and one for DW - if you’re looking for new friends in both places, feel free to fill both out.
- Scan the page and read about the Doink community! Does someone look interesting? Strike up a conversation! Make some friends! WRITE COMMENT FIC. Whatever you’d like!
- Add folks to your various friend networks as you desire!
- Repeat as needed.
- Everyone wins!
Just two notes before we start:
- This is not exclusive to Chocobo Down participants, or to Doink participants. It’s open to everyone! So please spread the word.
- We hope this doesn’t really need to be said, but please stay kind, positive, and respectful of everyone’s widely different kinds of fandom love.
Enjoy!

Journals (LJ, DW, etc) / AO3 username: LJ, DW [I don't use it], AO3
Other places I’m looking for awesome fandom friends: deviantART, tumblr 1 [art & photography], tumblr 2 [reblogs & crap]
FF canons I’ve experienced: Mostly FFIV, FFVI & FFTactics. I know a bit of FFV, FFVII & FFVIII. I'm currently playing FFX for the first time, and while I did beat FFIII I don't remember shit about it.
FF Fandoms I’m active in: FFIV & FFVI. Okay it's almost exclusively FFVI, I'm not gonna lie >_>
Ways I participate in fandom: Drawing, sometimes writing
5 characters I love and one sentence why
1. Celes - she has survived many horrors and is strong because of it.
2. Locke - he's confident on the outside but sucks at sorting out his emotions (largely about love) inwardly; I relate to him a lot :|
3. Shadow - he has such a deep and painful past; he's mysterious but there's so much to his character underneath the layers.
4. Palom & Porom (they count as one character right) - they're adorable and I love their dynamic!
5. (I need to replay/finish playing FFV but) Faris - uhh the genderfuck, of course!
(Okay honestly I would just fill this up entirely with FFVI related stuff to be the most truthful but I felt like I should mix it up a bit. I have to include Kefka on this list though because he is my favorite headcase ever. The botched Magitek infusion leading to insanity, the Nihilism - there is so much psychological fuckery there!)
5 pairings I love and one sentence why
1. Locke/Celes - it is such a struggle, so much angst; they have to overcome many personal demons before they can be together. My OTP (seriously, I mean that out of all fandoms ever).
2. Kefka/Celes - because it would be so FUCKED UP, and lots of potential for Magitek fuckery~
3. [Older] Palom/Porom - okay it started as crack BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, that's why we call them kinks and guilty pleasures >_>
4. ...
5. .....you know, I'm not terribly pairing-oriented in general (other than Locke/Celes, and... Kefka/Celes ^.^). If you can make it convincing, that's the best. I'm far more interested in a good story than a PWP.
Themes, kinks, tropes that I really love to see in Final Fantasy fanworks: Minor characters! I've been really interested in exploring minor characters/NPCs lately. I like seeing how they affect the main cast, especially those in their pasts. I'm also a sucker for well-written angsty relationships and generally dark/depressing stories, haa. Worldbuilding is also great! Especially for the older FF games where graphics were limited; I love expanding the worlds in more detail. And most importantly - characterbuilding! Details about their pasts, motivations, thoughts, emotions - I love to see that.
One ridiculous thought or question I have about FF and/or fandom, to start discussion with my new fandom friends: ZEROMUS' DESIGN: WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT
Anything else? Yo I also love to talk MUSIC and I listen to a lot of metal. If we have similar musical tastes, let's be friends too! :P
