A local friending meme

[meerkats]

Back in the yesteryear of 2009, the Star Trek fandom started a friending meme, and the idea was simple. We are all such cool people, we should be friends in real life too. So the meet-up friending meme was born! RP has birthed real, relevant friendships, and why should it stop here? I say we bring sexy back, roleplay community style! Too long have we been distraught by long distance, when there are RP buddies all around us! THIS IS A FRIENDING MEME ABOUT MAKING LOCAL CONNECTIONS! How to play: ▸ Post a subject line of your location (or find one that already exists!) ▸ Reply introducing yourself with as much or as little information as you feel comfortable providing. ▸ profit!

Hey friends, I'm Miri and I'm a native New Yorker, though I'm actually leaving for London for grad school soon. Currently I'm in Brooklyn.

My muselist is here but it needs to be updated. I used to play at entranceway but I got very overwhelmed with life and stuff.

My main fandoms at the moment are Hannibal, A Song of Ice and Fire, Tolkien, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Marvel, Les Miserables & other classic novels, and I'm super into that stupid ant movie right now.

My plurk is pondicusrex, you may have seen me around being a far too busy bum.

My tumblr is here!!

Snail mail

[needlebearer]

Sometimes it happens that you can't meet up in person, but you'd still like to communicate more intimately than plurk or AIM. If you'd like to meet snail mail friends with DWRP in common, comment to this thread! I'd suggest a general intro here and PMing to get individual addresses rather than leaving your full address here.

[needlebearer]

I'm Hannah and I live in the UK, and I only play at thegames at the moment! I'm a huge history nerd and my main fandoms are Bioshock, Game of Thrones, Batman and Dragon Age currently. I write letters and postcards regularly and would love to swap them with RPers all over the world.

We're a good deal more spread out outside of the US so it's probably better to be less specific...

Nürnberg area

[fairandterrible]

Hi, I'm Kira :3 I currently live near Nuremberg and have been RPing on LJ/DW since 2007 (in English, anyway). Mid-twenties, do a bit of cosplay, used to be big time into manga/anime but nowadays I mostly play from book canons (primary canons right now are Hetalia and Tolkien). I'd love to have offline people to chat with who get DWRPing =D

greater Portland area, Maine

[showyousomethingnice]

Also known as the home of Silent Hill! No, seriously, Konami went ahead and gave Silent Hill Cape Elizabeth's zipcode. I contemplate this fact frequently on foggy days.

I'm Cat and I'll be amazed if another Mainer pops up, because I can never quite shake the feeling I got fifteen years ago that I was the only one of us on the internet.

Re: greater Portland area, Maine

[unlikelyherald]

I'm not in Portland, but I'm in Bangor! :D And I can say for a fact that there are at least three RPers in Maine now, because my Roommate RPs too.

Southeast Florida, USA

[pollocks]

[pollocks]

Hey, I'm Jean. Been living in Palm Beach County for the last 24 years (sorry about the 2000 presidential election, like seriously).

My current canons are: Doctor Who, A Darker Shade of Magic, The Lunar Chronicles, The Dresden Files, Mythology, Gundam 00, Code Geass, DC, and Marvel.

I used to play A LOT of Marvel and DC people but those're pretty much down to museboxing. Nowadays, I'm mostly trying to play around with my LA & novel muses + some OCs like this newbie here. I've also got some anime muses from back in 2009 stirring their ugly heads.

My plurk's over at starborn.

[theterminator]

Hey, my name's Brian and I'm living in North County.

I only really play in knightsoflegend as far as games go these days, but I try to supplement that with memes whenever I can.

Supernatural and superhero fandoms are what I tend to gravitate toward most. I also game (mostly on PS4), so even if you're not local, there's that.

I'm seriousbusiness on plurk if you want to add me there. Otherwise feel free to comment here or PM me.

Pittsburgh, PA, USA

[reluctantaccessory]

Re: Pittsburgh, PA, USA

[reluctantaccessory]

Hi. I'm Caitlin and I work in the city and live somewhere in the South Hills. I have too many characters I don't play, but I tend to play Marie here often.

My current/main fandoms are The Bourne Series, Kingdom Hearts, The Walking Dead, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who (still learning the ropes, though).

I have Marie in a game, but I love hitting memes and doing psl stuff. Everyone else is gameless.

I deleted my plurk today, so I don't have that anymore (I can't trust myself to not use it as a ranting platform). But you are welcome to AIM me at wanderinspirits7, DM on here, or message me on PSN as Marie_Kreutz because lately I've been doing nothing but gaming.

If you wanted FB and stuff...we have to get to know each other first and I'll make the call from there.

[verybig]

YO WHERE ARE MY SEATTLE PEOPLE AT there's like 823482943 of us. I'm Sarah and I am Bioware trash (but also MCU, and some others.)

Anyway I don't play in any games because I'm lazy but I screw around BS and a few other meme comms with my characters.

I work for a video game merch company so that's neat. Come hang out in our game room and play games or something idk. 8) I live in downtown near Cap Hill but venture to other areas intermittently.

I'm @lewdness on plurk and uhhh what else. I travel a lot for work? So that's lame for meetups but cool for other things I guess. 8) Maybe we can schedule something for PAX?

FRESNO, CALIFORNIA

[god_of_badassery]

Hiya! My name is jennifer, I'm 26 and I play a plethora of marvel muses, just really depends who I'm playing with. Anyways! I'm from FRESNO, CA really it kinda annoys me how we're the butt of many jokes in movies and such.

I'm half mexican and quarter japanese. At the moment I'm only playing on bakerstreet because yes, I do have a life, workaholic and got my bae to take care of. Just got back in the game of role playing after two years because I just haven't been up to it but I'm ready to throw myself back in the pool!

I'd love to have a pen pal or chat on messengers, whatever you're comfortable with. So we can corroborate on our geeky passions.

Also, if you're on xbox360 tell me your gamertag. I'm also on steam.

Northwestern Michigan area, soon relocating to Atlanta, Georgia for work

[capfanboy]

Hey. I'm Frog and I'm representing the Philadelphia area. I'm a suburban girl with a lovely little family and a little house that looks like every other house on my street.

I don't play in any games because I legit have zero time for it, but I futz around in memes and on sws.

Mostly, I play around in the Marvel fandom, but I also play in Doctor Who, Teen Wolf, and various other random things.

I can also be found at coffeefrog.

I also don't mind getting snail mail. :D

Quad Cities, Iowa/Illinois

[bravejemma]

[bravejemma]

Anyone? Bueller? Anyone else in/near that lovely midwestern limbo known as the Quad City Area even though we now have five cities? XD

I'm Liz, I actually live in a small town north of the area, but I work in the Quad Cities. I grew up here and I've been back for a couple of years after living in NY for a few years.

I play Jemma here, and I also have my Skye (an084). I have a lot of weird muses from small/inactive fandoms (snicketsister, bigtimestar, andyouplay, theartof, throughthestones aaaaand that's about it I guess; my Amy Pond Williams [Unknown site tag] is, obviously, the Doctor Who fandom).

I'm relatively unscary and can mostly be found yelling about TV or movies or music or theatre on my tumblr (theboyfallsfromthesky) or twitter (landwarsinasia). I have a plurk (lizimajig) although I have like three or four people on it. I like snail mail and I also like playing with people and if there was someone out there who wanted to go see Marvel movies with me that would be awesome. :3
