Looking to friend or just introducing yourself? Both. This is my bio so this serves as introduction. But also to get new friends interested. :D So come and friend me, if you like. Just go to my sticky entry and say "hi".
Journal f-locked? It's semi-friends only actually. Private entries are f-locked.
What's your friending policy/what do you look for in a friend? You must be of legal age in your country of residence (sorry, kids!). Some like-mindedness would also be great. Do we share certain fandoms/interests? Do you like talking about fandom-related things? Friend away. :)
What do you post about? Mostly about fannish stuff like recs, reviews etc., things that piqued my interest or get me excited (like this, for example). Music I like, movies and TV shows I've watched, pics of my favorite actors etc. I do post about my RL, too, but not predominantly.
Almost forgot: please don't throw cotton balls at me when you see a grammatical or spelling error. English is not my mother tongue. The learning never stops. :)

Fair warning: I should probably mention that I'm a huge slash fan. I'm a serious multishipper with a ton of slash (m/m), het (m/f) and a few femslash (f/f) ships. My ships aren't all "cute" though. I also like to read about messed up adult characters who are in a relationship that is unhealthy, dysfunctional, yet consenting. These pairings might be considered "problematic" by others. When I talk about this in my journal, I always put up appropriate warnings. Sometimes I use strong language, too. So if this squicks you, my journal may not be for you.
By the way: This journal is ship-positive. ❤ I don't hate on ships or kinks. I don't tolerate ship wars, ship shaming, and the like. Please be nice and respect each other.

My main fandoms and ships: As I said, I'm a multishipper. I dabble in many fandoms. I don't have just one OTP. I have many. :) Have a look at them: a very comprehensive list of all my fandoms and ships. I do have main fandoms that I don't stray too far away from, though. Those are:

Main contributions to fandom: For now it's mainly reading fanfics and writing recs for the ones I really liked. Fangirling. I comment, I squee, I post the occasional picspam. I like insightful discussions. Sometimes I write meta and reviews (I really want to do this more often and thorough). A long time ago I used to make icons. I wouldn't mind getting back into the habit again. Let's see what my spare time has to say about that.

Favorite TV shows: Too many to list. Among them are: Supernatural, Bates Motel, Grimm, Almost Human, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, American Horror Story, Orange Is the New Black, Preacher, Bosch, Smallville, Roswell, True Blood, X-Files, Farscape, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage,
Game of Thrones, Queer as Folk (US), Hannibal, How to Get Away with Murder

Favorite songs/music: I LOVE music! I listen to my favorite songs whenever and wherever I can. My taste in music is extremely varied. For me music makes everything better. I always feel full of energy and get happy feelings when I'm listening to my favorite songs.
I like oldies (1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s), classical music, ambient pop, indie, rock (especially of the classic, blues, alternative, hard, folk, punk, psychedelic, garage kind), metal (especially melodeath), electronica, trip-hop, dance, blues, jazz, country music, soundtracks, music of the 1990s (yeah, Eurodance), even German Schlager and old, funny disco tracks are up my alley. Check out my last.fm profile if you want to know more about the songs I like.

Favorite movies: OMG, once again, there are way too many to put them here. So here are just a couple of my all-time favorites: Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), The Alien franchise, The Terminator franchise, Dredd (2012), Doom (2005), The Star Trek reboot franchise, Blood Sport (1988), Sense and Sensibility (1995), The Bourne Legacy (2012), The Matrix (1999), No Retreat, No Surrender (1986), Avatar (2009), Gladiator (2000), 96 Hours (2008), Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), The Hobbit film series, American History X (1998), Signs (2002), Highlander (1986), Coming to America (1988)

Favorite animes/mangas: Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, Bleach, Death Note, Ranma ½, Inu Yasha,
Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Banana Fish, Bronze/Zetsuai, Angel Sanctuary, Skip Beat and a lot more.

Favorite books: See my goodreads for that. "Harry Potter" by JKR, "Ravished" by Amanda Quick. "Silver Lining" and "The Promise of Jenny Jones" by Maggie Osborne. I absolutely love historical romance novels so everything by Elizabeth Hoyt and Lisa Kleypas is an autobuy for me. "The Green Mile" by Stephen King. Generally most of the books by Joy Fielding and Mary Higgins Clark.

Lastly, for reading through the end of this monster of a bio, here, have something pretty to look at. It's from Supernatural season 10 made by over_thehills. I could stare at it forever. It's so peaceful. Isn't the pulsating sun absolutely mesmerizing?
