Looking for New Friends

NAME: Drac
ABOUT ME: I'm a gay man in The Orville's target audience age range of 18-49, and I'm one of three identical triplets. I recently got divorced (no kids) and don't have many friends, but I'm close with my brothers and parents and talk about them a lot! I live alone in a rural area, so you can expect some charming (at least I hope it's charming) farmer-type stuff when I talk about my day :D
INTERESTS & HOBBIES: Hiking & camping, reading, writing, whittling, painting

I use DW mostly as a journal for the everyday goings-on in my life, especially to catalog interesting events at work (small-town newspaper), hikes I've gone on, hanging out with my family, etc. But I also use it to post my thoughts on books I've read recently and also as a sort of nature journal, so you can expect random lists of butterflies or birds I've seen, mushrooms I've discovered nearby, interesting trees and plants I've found. The most recent books I've posted about are Create Dangerously by Albert Camus, Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin, and A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood, just so you have a general idea of what you're getting into here lol.

My two greatest fandoms are horror in general (books, movies, TV shows, I love it all and I'm OBSESSIVE about it) and Star Wars, which I don't talk about much, but with Rise of Skywalker coming out, it's likely I will (just a warning!). I like the Star Wars EU as well, especially the Thrawn books. 

I try to write a fanfic every day but I don't post about those much, except when I occasionally post lists of which fics I've done this week. I don't post about the plots I'm working on or the pairings I like, though. As such, while I'm not a fandom blog, I totally don't mind following fandom blogs. In fact, I kind of love it! It's super interesting to see what other people are passionate about, even if it's not something I share. 

(Side Note: All my journal-type posts are access-only, so if you look at my post history before you add me, you won't see much of what's described here -- only a few book posts and fic lists! Trust me, there's a lot more there lol)

I also live in a rural town, don't have many friends per se, but close with my family. Our interests are very similar, except for whittling (although my great-grandfather was a blue ribbon whittler!). I checked out the reviews on your journal and they were good/interesting. I pretty much write about my daily life. Let me know if you want to be friends :)

Hi. I somehow found that some of the people who replied to this post might be nice potential new friends for me, too. So I went to check out your journal, but it's locked... Would you like to check mine out to decide whether we might suit each other as DW friends?

Hi! You sound like someone I'd like to see in my reading list. I've not been posting much lately, and I don't expect that it will change much in the near future, but when i do it's about travel or everyday life, no fandoms.

There's so much to like here!
✓ I LOVE HORROR, TOO
The Orville :D
✓ "Giovanni's Room" is sitting on my to-read shelf (well, it's a to-read cabinet, not just a shelf, but I'm going to get to that book eventually)
✓ Your oldschool horror icons
✓ Your username (I'm having a fannish obsession with vampires)
✓ You like guys
✓ One can never have too much nature posts or book reviews

So yeah, I'd very much like to add you.

Every time I see mention of the Expanded Universe, I am contractually obliged to comment and remove my hat.

Darksaber... has its moments, lol. But it pays off!

I super miss the messiness of the old EU with all its space!hot chocolate drinking and weirdness. I don't have anything against the new Disneyverse (some of it I really like) but I do miss the lawlessness of the old universe.

Hey Drac! I'm Cameron, 42, gay/ace trans man. A bit socially awkward and geeky. Star Wars is my life's obsession along with written role playing, fanfic, and travel. Wanna be friends?

Hi there! I love hiking/foraging/gardening and recently moved away from a rural area, so charming farmer-type stuff is right up my alley. (And small-town newspapers are the best!)

A bit more about me: I'm in my 30s, work as a librarian, write fiction, read speculative fiction and comics, and write mostly about daily life.

I live on a small farm and previously spent years working at a newspaper and then for a magazine. (I now run my own farm-based business) I'm a hobby digital artist and I could make a career out of being distracted by shiny things. Would love to add ya!
