I cover music on my instagram as a hobby and tend to lean more towards post-hardcore and similar genres. Today, I posted an acoustic cover of Better by Makari and their lead singer, Andy Cizek, commented on my video. I could die rn and wanted to share my fangirl experience 🙊🙉❤ I didn't expect them to even see that I tagged them, like most bands.

hi everyone! i am seeing the 1975 in Glendale, AZ in october. i have pit tickets and absolutely need to be on the barricade. i was planning on camping for 30 hours.. is that long enough? should i camp longer than that? i’ve never done this before and i’m very excited:) if anyone who has camped before could help me, that would be amazing!! (please be nice)

Hi there! So for ages I've wanted a place to store/share all (or as many as possible) different helpful tutorials, extensions, userscripts, software, etc. that I've found and used for my own fannish purposes.

Inspired by the speech "Fan is a Tool Using Animal" by Maciej Cegłowski (watch it here; it's very interesting and entertaining!), I've created /r/ToolUsingAnimals, "a subreddit for fandom power users. A place to discover, teach, discuss software, extensions, userscripts, services, websites, etc. that are either explicitly for, or can be re-tooled for, fannish purposes."

I've submitted several of my favorite tools to the site already. Re: organization of the subreddit, I'm slowly developing link flairs and I intend to use Reddit's subreddit wiki extensively.

Please feel free to stop by and peruse the current posts. If you'd like to post and contribute to the subreddit (and that includes asking thoughtful questions about how to improve your fannish experience(s) online, questions are more than welcome!), please just modmail with a link or rough draft to whatever you'd like to submit and I'll make you an approved user.

Thanks!

I’m currently writing a YA Fantasy as the title suggests and wanted to get some direct feedback on what about books in the genre hook you into the story. Love interests? Super humans?

The more detail the better! This info is worth its weight in gold to me. :)

Hi! I'm a high school student conducting a survey for my neuroscience class about celebrity crushes and it would be great if some people could fill it out. Most questions are in short answer form, but responses DON'T have to be in full sentences or very detailed. Thank you so much!

Hi guys! I'm currently conducting a research on love for media figures titled “Limerence: A Parasocial Perspective” and is really in need of people to help fill up a survey. Can you all help me by spending roughly 15 minutes to fill up a survey for me? :')

If you:

(a) Are aged between 18 to 35 years old AND

(b) Have a media figure (eg: celebrities, politicians, athletes etc.) whom you view as a romantic interest

Please help me by clicking into this link to fill up the survey: https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.…e/form/SV_0JOmyerrf6bJQGN

If possible, please also help me to share it to your friends that you know who fit into the criteria. I've been collecting data for a while now but it's so hard to get people who fit into the criteria. T_T

Thank you so much for your help!!! I really really really appreciate it! <333

There's a semi-serious writing discord focusing on helping fellow writers and artists in need!

We're a good-natured and silly community with 700+ members who just want to make friends and improve our craft! We chat every day through text, voice calls, and even write together so we can push each other forward while still bonding. All types of writers are welcome whether it's fantasy, horror, fanfiction, romance, comedy, etc. We also welcome any experience of writing, even if it's your first day typing a story or you're a published author hoping to build connections (we have quite a couple of those here!).

To give you a quick peek, here's what we offer: • channels for critiques/feedback • writing help • character building • poetry and art channels • writing (and poetry!) contests • web and video resources for writing • writing groups geared to motivate writing And all types of stuff to keep us going!

While we are writing oriented and our first goal is to make sure everyone sparks their passion for writing, our second goal is to create a strong community that can talk and encourage each other. We value community a lot here and we wish every member to feel safe, happy, and motivated. There's game and movie nights every weekend to break the ice and let everyone release their silly side!

Come and give it a go, we promise you'll love it here. 💖 https://discord.gg/xuMz64G

What is a character pairing (or ship) in one of your favorite shows, or just a show you watch, that has a large fanbase but for some reason they just didn't grab you. Maybe you know the reason, maybe you don't. Whether it be lack of chemistry, forced writing, characters aren't likable on their own, previous setup supposedly leading to something (or someone) else, you just don't take a liking to them.

Examples of mine (safe space, pls be nice):

-Captain Swan (OUAT)

-Bobin (HIMYM)

-Brittana (Glee)

-Olicity (Arrow)

-Kataang (ATLA)

*I used ship names for spoilers sake.
