Connecting with people

[bethanesta]

I am enjoying starting to blog and writing a little about what I am doing. I think I am now ready to start reaching out, commenting on other people's posts and maybe starting to build friendship and community with like-minded others. It is both an exciting and nerve-wracking thought and I am uncertain of what the etiquette is - do people appreciate random comments from strangers?

I have found some friending communities where you post a 'wanted' advert, essentially and people comment based on whether they want to be friends with you.

I have also found some book blog 'link-ups' where there is a weekly theme or question and everyone leaves a link to their answer and everyone comments on each others posts which sounds a lot of fun.

Poking around Dreamwidth, I am keep to take part in the snowflake_challenge which describes itself as

an annual event to highlight the best parts of Fandom and the people who make it that way. It's a celebration about all of us and all the creative things we do, all the ways we touch each other and make a difference

and while it started on the 1st, there does not seem to be any time limit or deadline for taking part. It looks like a lot of fun!

Wish me luck?
