ff_exchange | 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:

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Fffff late to the party, but since I'm adding some people, figured I'd put my info.

Name / Pseud: Mina Lightstar / "M"
Journals (LJ, DW, etc) / AO3 username:

ukefied, ukefied on AO3
Other places I’m looking for awesome fandom friends: I am v. boring and currently only active on DW.

FF canons I’ve experienced: ALL THE THINGS, except XIII-2, DoC, the phone games, and My Life as a King/Dark Lord
FF Fandoms I’m active in: FFVI always and forever; I dabble in the others.
Ways I participate in fandom: I write fic and generally flail about.

5 characters I love and one sentence why
1. Locke Cole, because he is so very broken and gets the coolest weapons.
2. Rydia, because she tells it like it is and is a harbinger of death.
3. Celes, because she can kick your ass and then serenade you with an aria afterward.
4. Ashe, because I am in love with her entire storyline and persona.
5. Cloud Strife, because he was originally a deconstruction of FF heroes and is beautifully fucked up.

5 pairings I love and one sentence why
1. Locke/Celes, because they are cracked along the edges and need each other.
2. Zack/Aerith, because there is just something about their story that really gets to me.
3. Edgar/Locke, because they are prince/pauper BFFs and I think they would have lots of casual fun together.
4. Zidane/Locke, because they are both ~~thieves~~ treasure hunters and would get into all kinds of competitions and it would be AWESOME.
5. Cloud/Firion, for which I blame Dissidia.

I'm actually not that pairing-driven, though; I love gen/het/gay and a good fic is more important than the pairing, for me.

Themes, kinks, tropes that I really love to see in Final Fantasy fanworks: Magickink is a big one, and I am fond of light bondage. I also enjoy vaguely dubious consent. Other than that, whatever makes a good story!

One ridiculous thought or question I have about FF and/or fandom, to start discussion with my new fandom friends: You've all seen The Sevening, right?

Anything else?

I am basically a giant dork! I'm in all kinds of fandoms, though I am quiet on the blogging front these days.
