[Welcome meme] Getting to know each other...

[sterling]

We're all relatively new to DW, and that means we're likely going to meet a lot of new people. But, where to start? How can we break the ice and get to know each other?

Perhaps a quick friending "meme" would be just the thing. Copy and paste the below as a reply to this thread, and let us know what kind of writer you are. Answers can be as vague or as specific as you'd like.

How did I forget to put Twilight .on my list of least favorite books? I didn't even get a quarter of the way through the awful thing! Mind if I friend you (or, um, subscribe to you--I'm not sure what lingo to use)? You sound like my kind of chick. :)

[dameboudicca]

Sure - that would be nice. I'll friend you back! (Or whatever it's called...)

Hello! This is sort of late, but I just found this community recently. You sound really cool (Yay, Neil Gaiman and Jane Austen), and I have huge respect for anyone who dislikes Twilight. Would you like to be friends, if you don't mind slashy things? I write mostly about writing (sci-fi, urban fantasy, romance) and food.

That could be fun! :)
(I have been kind of quite lately, but that will change as soon as the summer looses somewhat of its firm grip on reality!)
