snowflake_challenge Challenge #1: – Update Your Fandom Info

Challenge #1

In your own space, update your fandom information! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I have written a sticky post that's an introduction/about me and I found it a very interesting process how I decided what I wanted to include and how I presented myself.

Basic information such as my name and age, and vague location seemed important. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable with someone much much younger interacting with me and I don't know if people who are of a completely different age would be interested in me. I don't know I'm explaining that well, I don't post 'adult content' but I still would feel weird if someone under 18 started talking to me - and I'd want to make sure that everyone who interacts with me knows what bracket I fall in.

Gender & sexuality because my gender presentation is fairly obvious in real life, it's not something I have to tell people but along with being pansexual - it is absolutely awful when you start making a friendship or a relationship with someone, they find this out and then just ghost you. I put it out there and it's almost like a protective barrier to block away the people who I don't want in my life.

Neurodivergency because my adhd and autism affect how I interact with and perceive the world so again it feels pretty pertinent information for people to know before they engage with me. I'm not great at social cues and at things that aren't face value.

A little bit of information about my personality and how I see the world because my bubbliness and chatteriness doesn't necessarily come across in the written form except for how long these posts end up being probably does say that about me. I just like people to know who I am and what to expect from interacting with me.

Fandoms etc because giving people an idea of my hobbies and interests will tell all parties involved if we have a common interest to talk about - or if there's something I'm likely to talk about that you don't know but are interested in.

I have now written the words interact and interest that so many times that I'm not even sure they're actual words anymore!
