Non-binary writer seeks friends

[vintagewitch]

 Hey y'all! 

Welcome to those of you who are making the move to DW from LJ! I kind of stopped posting on LJ back in 2008 for life reasons, but missed the community a whole lot. When I met up for happy hour with a real life friend and reminisced about the old days of LJ, ze told me about DW and I've been here ever since - albeit intermittently. 

NAME: I pretty much stick to my username on here: vintagewitch

AGE: 33

PRONOUNS: they/she

INTEREST AND HOBBIES: I'm a writer! I write nonfiction occult stuff as well as fiction. I'm currently mapping out a novel. I am also a VORACIOUS reader - I currently have 5 books going. The "vintage" part of my name used to refer to vintage clothing, but I'm more of a vintage film person these days. I am also an analogue nerd - I keep several different paper journals, as well as analogue records. But for finding stuff, sometimes online is easier than handwritten. I am in exactly two fandoms - The Magnus Archives and Harry Potter (tho fuck JKR). I also am obsessed with folklore and mythology, especially Nordic stuff but lately have been doing more research into French Canadian folklore. 

Lord, I wonder how much of this is reflected in my current user profile? XD

LOOKING FOR: People who mostly write about their life. Other writers! Other readers!

ANYTHING ELSE? I'm queer, disabled, and married to my non-binary spouse. I am considering switching careers and going into librarianship because I am passionate about information being freely and readily available. I have both public and friends-locked entries - currently debating how private I want to be on here, or if I want to use this journal as a way for people I know IRL to keep up with me as we prepare to move across the country.

Hi! It sounds like we have quite a bit in common and would love to be friends. I also casually lurked your journal and saw you mentioned MIA, which made me miss Minneapolis more than usual haha

[vintagewitch]

Awww Minneapolis love! Yes I'm currently based here and I do like it, but I'm ready for a new adventure

Heyo, witchy writer/reader sort here who posts about daily life. Currently it’s all about living with Covid as my family and I are recovering, but hopefully that’ll pass in a few days and I can move on to other topics XD I also love paper journals and pens, but miss the convenience of a search function XD

Adding you! I mostly write about my life.. so it may be quite dull at times!

Thirding this and adding, SUPERMAN ICON... if you're down to take a chance on a new member with no content yet, I'd love to have you. My Goodreads is lanalang.

[singedsun]

With that Abagail Hobbs icon? 100%

[merricat]

Bless Abigail, no one can say no to her :P

We have several interests in common. You can check out the sticky at the top of my journal to see if you'd like to be friends (or not!)

[faram]

hello! we seem to have some things in common like being writers ( though i mostly have been writing poetry these days ) and being into the occult and mythology. i have a short about me post here. let me know if you'd like to try to be friends!

i mostly write about my life and talk about media ( comics and video games mostly ) and the communities i run.

[katiedid717]

[merricat]

Hello hello, fellow disabled queer voracious reader! There's nothing in my journal yet, because, y'know, it's brand new, but I'd love to have you :3

[batlatte]

[infinita_veritas]

I'm Elliot, male, in my thirties and love Harry Potter. (Fuck JKR indeed) Will you add me?

[vintagewitch]

I sure will!

I am looking for some journals to read; and yours seem like it might be interesting.

I work with data (as a data modeller), mum of 2, married. I mostly write about daily, stuff, work, food, fitness (just my own progress).

I do not read or write fandoms, but I just skip those posts without drama.

Would you like us to be friends? :)

[vintagewitch]

Hey there! Looks like we've got some mutuals - happy to be friends.

[alefy]

Added you back :)
