Making Tapa friends - the right way

[chanalli]

Lately I've seen many posts of people wanting to make friends but its really hard to accomplish that since we may not really know each other.
Most answers are "hey, welcome" and so on...

Many people here actually want to make new friends with people from this amazing community. For some, its a very easy task to do, for others, its really hard.

SO! to help you guys and to actually make communication happen (and actually make friends or at least talk to someone) here is this post!

By answering these (example) questions, you may find someone who has similar taste to yours and my hope is that you will actually get to contact each other and become friends, so let's start!

I'll introduce myself first:

Name: Allison
Tapa name: chanalli
Country: Honduras, Central America
Gender: Female
Age: 25

Likes: cats, cacti, sweets, baking, netflix, pinterest, geometric jewelry, Animal Crossing, anime/manga, Batman, DC Comics

Hobbies: drawing, getting frustrated with my drawing, wasting time on netflix, gaming, rage quitting games...

Fandoms/TV Shows: Vikings, Da Vinci's Demons, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Teen Wolf, The Flash, How to Train Your Dragon, Gotham, Grey's Anatomy, Sense8 (Had to actually check netflix for this)

Music: Muse, Gorillaz, Lianne La Havas, Kimbra, L'ark en ciel, Siam, Goldfish, Pentatonix, Daft Punk, Pas Neos, Clazziquai Project, The Internet... (Had to check spotify for this)

Contact me: Facebook @Alee Nott | Twitter: @AleeNott | kik: Alee112 (just let me know you come from here)

This last part, I consider, the most important. There is no point on wanting to know someone if there is no way on contacting... but its optional.

If forum does not allow contact info, please let me know so that i can erase that but don't erase those post, please...

LET THE FRIENDSHIP BEGIN!

[donathinfrye]

Name: Don
Tapastic: Atonement
Country: United States (Ohio)
Gender: Male
Age: 32

Likes: Live theatre, great television, western RPGs (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Witcher series, etc), D&D, oldschool and newschool adventure games (King's Quest, Quest for Glory, Telltale Games, etc), Texas Hold'em, Conan the Barbarian, good cocktails, craft beers, seafood, the beach, human beings (most of the time).

Hobbies: Writing, reading, designing games, acting, singing, bartending! Storytelling in all mediums is sort of my life-long obsession. One half of my family is Native American, and I was raised to value the power and tradition of stories ... and it's just sort of stuck with me in everything that I do.

Fandoms/TV Shows: LOST, The Leftovers, The Americans, The Expanse, Game of Thrones, Mr. Robot, The Walking Dead, True Detective, The Killing, Fargo, The Flash, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, The Office, Arrested Development, @Midnight with Chris Hardwick ... and then the Netflix Originals that I'm addicted to: House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Bloodline, Sense8, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Bojack Horseman, Master of None ...

And more, probably. There is a lot of incredible storytelling on television, especially a lot that's released in the past year or two, and much of it inspired by science fiction novels and comic books!

Music: The Doors, Muse, Radiohead, David Bowie, Queen ... those are my favorites. Listing all of the bands that I dig would take forever, but I tend to enjoy older punk rock, classic rock from the 60s-80s, the early crop of Indie Rock from around 2000, reggae, grim and depressing accoustic folk, even the most terrible things from the 90s, musical theatre ... and everything that happened on the Romeo & Juliet and Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks.

Contact: Twitter, Facebook, my comic's actual website, and Tapastic

Job: I'm a Resident Playwright and actor for the largest resident theatre company in America -- and I also bartend a few nights a week. This year, I'm working hard to take my comic writing and game design passion and try to see if I can't break into those businesses in a way that might show me that I can make a career with them.
