R.I.P Adri (Sheriffswan)

First of all, I wanna say I’m sorry for your loss if you were close to her. I personally wasn’t but I am still shocked and saddened by this news.

But I wanna turn her death into something positive. Something we all will remember her by. Some of us had the pleasure to know her, but the majority of this fandom knew her url and followed her but never talked to her. I wanna turn that around. I rarely talk to people on tumblr. I have a few friend over in the captain swan chatroom run by Chelsea (captainswansource) but other than that I don’t have many tumblr friends. And I am noticing a lot of people in this fandom are afraid to send asks or start a conversation with someone. So I got an idea. what if we would all just talk to each other?

I wanna start a sort of penpal post. you fill out a small form and post it on your blog with the hashtag #ouatfriends you can search through the tag to find someone that likes the same TV shows or movies, that has the same hobbies or has been through similar struggles.

Are you interested in making new friends? Fill in this form and post it to your blog!

Let me preface this form by saying that I never knew Adri, but she sounds amazing from everything I’ve read about her.  I did, unknowingly, admire her work.  It seems the fandom has lost an amazing person and talent.

I’m not super active in the fandom (at least with posting/sharing/reblogging things), but some people might recognize me from reviews I’ve left on their fics or various other ways I might have interacted with them (or from my places online, where I’m almost always called TrueRomantic).  I tend to go through phases where I’ll go months barely even going anywhere online except FF.net and AO3, then I’ll pop back into the fandom world for some of my various shows, then go sort of dormant again.  Maybe making friends with some of you (or better friends) will keep me more active.  I made some amazing friends in a couple of my previous fandoms I was active in, and though I met very few of them in person, I still talk to many of them and consider them great friends even if I only really get active in those fandoms during our traditional celebration times of year.

I would love to get to know you guys, so feel free to talk to me.  I’m a bit of an introvert in some ways, but get me going and you’ll probably be wishing you could find my OFF button.

Name: Kimberly, but most people now call me Kim, except my graduating class that calls me Kimbo.  One friend calls me Kimba and another calls me Kimmi or Kimmi-kins, but those are special to them.  I’ll answer to Kim or Kimberly, or if you want I’ll answer to my online name TrueRomantic or TR.

Age: 26, 27 in March 2016

Country: United States

tv-shows: For sake of brevity, I’ll only list what is currently airing new episodes and a couple other shows, otherwise we’ll be here all day.

Once Upon a Time [Captain Swan], Big Bang Theory [Leonard/Penny], Scorpion [Walter/Paige], Castle [Casket], NCIS: LA [Kensi/Deeks] (I used to watch the original, but I’m still boycotting until Ziva comes back and I get my Tiva), Signed Sealed Delivered [Oliver/Shane] (it was a Hallmark show, but now it’s a Hallmark movie series), When Calls the Heart [Elizabeth/Jack], Criminal Minds, Bones [Booth/Brennan], Elementary [Sherlock/Watson], Haven [Audrey/Nathan], Rizzoli & Isles, Defiance, Doctor Who, ...I know I’m forgetting some... :(

A few shows that have ended over the years that I was big into are Stargate: SG1 [Sam/Jack], Firefly [Mal/Inara], Farscape [John/Aeryn], Charmed [Piper/Leo], Walker Texas Ranger [Walker/Alex], Eureka [Alison/Jack], Warehouse 13 [Myka/Pete], Psych [Shawn/Juliet], The Mentalist [Jane/Lisbon], Roswell [Liz/Max], Buffy the Vampire Slayer (in my happy place she and Angel are living happily ever after somewhere), Veronica Mars [Veronica/Logan], ...Ask me about others and I might have loved them too lol.

Movies: Most RomComs, most kids movies, and lots of Hallmark movies.  Pride and Prejudice (both the Colin Firth and the Keira Knightly versions, though I prefer the Colin Firth version), Harry Potter, Pitch Perfect, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit, ...

Hobbies: Reading (I’m a really fast reader, and often read a full book in 1 or 2 days)---I especially like books with romance and happy endings. And smutty books.  But I like my smut books to have some plot too lol.  Mystery Romance, Paranormal Romance, Fantasy Romance, some Erotica if there’s plot...You get the picture.  Some of my favorite authors are Nora Roberts/JD Robb, Jennifer Ashley, Hannah Howell, Laurann Dohner, Lynsay Sands, Lora Leigh, C. L. Wilson, Kresley Cole, Patricia Briggs, Christina Dodd, Christine Feehan, Ilona Andrews, and Nalini Singh.

Playing with my pets.  I have a Chihuahua mix, Pug, Australian Sheppard/Lab mix, and two cats.  My family also has a Pekingese, long haired Chihuahua, Boxer/Mastiff mix, and another cat.  I love most animals.

Writing.  I haven’t actually written anything in awhile, but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of it soon.

Gimping/Photoshopping. I can’t do gifs, but my most recent fandom before OUaT, the Stargate fandom, has a site called GateWorld where I would make sigs and avatars and the occasional wallpaper for people.  I enjoy it, but I haven’t made anything in about a year.

Talking/hanging out with friends and family.  I love my people.  I don’t see them that often (I swear I’m not a hermit, even if I live alone and don’t leave home unless I have to, I just spend a lot of my free time reading), but I talk to someone on the phone at least once a day.  My very best friend is the kind of amazing friend that I’ve had since we were about 6 and we can go months without talking and just pick back up like no time has passed.

Going places.  Growing up my mom and I would go to Fredericksburg, VA or Gettysburg, PA or Lexington, VA at least once a year.  I grew up in Northern Virginia, so they were all within a days drive and we’d spend several days there going around the historical places.  As I got older and we finished the historical stuff, we just went to enjoy the towns and people and downtown shops.  I drive between where I live in Oklahoma and where my family is in Virginia at least once a year, and I love it.  One day I’m going to accomplish my “Outside of the United States” travel list.

Baking/Cooking.  I absolutely LOVE being in my kitchen.  I often improvise and guesstimate with my recipes, then can’t tell people how to do it even though I can make it the same every time lol.  I’m definitely not “professional” or anything like that, but I absolutely love it.

Something interesting about you: I was reading Nancy Drew books without help when I was 5 or 6 (the age that most kids, at least in the US, are still just learning how to read), and my teacher forbade me from bringing them to school to read because I “upset the other children” who couldn’t read as well as me.

I was also originally left-handed, but that same teacher forced me to use my right hand instead because she believed left-handed people were evil.  I haven’t practiced the writing in awhile, but I’m technically ambidextrous and still do some every day things as if I were left hand dominant.

I’m actually kind of shy in most settings, but I often meet people while out and about that I talk to for a long time once they talk to me.  My mom jokes that I make a new friend everywhere I go.  It’s kind of true.  In driving between OK and VA, I often stop in the same towns and hotels and restaurants, and some of the people and I will remember each other even if we only met and talked for an hour or less and then didn’t see each other for 6 months or more.  But I rarely approach people on my own.

OUAT Friends

A little late for this, but I got distracted by the episode yesterday and forgot to post it, oops (if there was one thing you needed to know about me it’s that I have a shit memory, it’s so terrible ughhh)

#ouatfriends

@yesgraphicmaniac had the great idea of doing this to honour Adriane and so that we can all get to know each other better. I’m new to this fandom and I’d love to get to know as many people as I can. Always feel free to send me a message or start a conversation, I love talking to everyone :) 

Name: Emily

Age: 19 

Country: Australia

TV Shows: OUAT, Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, HIMYM, Vampire Diaries, Merlin, 2 broke girls, Scream Queens and I’m slowly catching up on Teen Wolf and How to get away with murder

Movies: Too many to even remember (probably have hundreds) but I’ll list a few that I can think of. Harry Potter series, Hunger Games series, Maze Runner series, The Host, City of Bones, If I stay, Easy A, 21/22 Jump street, Toy Story series, Tangled and so so many more

Hobbies: Watching movies and TV (obviously), reading, photography, writing, spending time with my friends, exploring new places etc. 

Something interesting about you: ugh i always hate this question. I seem really quiet at first but once you get to know me I’m super annoying and loud. The only thing I can imagine doing with my life in the future is travelling, it’s the only thought that motivates me to get up sometimes. I hate society's ideas about the future and how you're supposed to “get married, have a stable 9-5 job, have children” etc. I cannot imagine spending my life like that. I hate mundane daily activities and struggle to remain motivated. 

Adding in a few extra things so you can really get to know me

I don’t have too many OTPs because it takes a lot for me to grow attached to couples. Of course there’s Captain Swan, forever my #1 but also ChuckxBlair, HannaxCaleb and DamonxElena make the cut

My all time favourite book series is The Wolves of Mercy Falls. I 200% recommend checking it out. Maggie Stiefvater is a phenomenal author

All my favourite characters in shows and movies tend to be strong, fearless women who will do anything for those they love and are super sassy and smart. I aspire to be like that. 

Please send me a message to just say hi, if you want or talk to me about your issues I’m always willing to help anyone out. Love you all x x x
