BJD Personals & Penpals - Owners Edition!

Aug 4, 2012

    1. Important Note: This is a Chat Free Thread. If you want to chat, please use PMs as described in the rules. Thank you.

      BJD Personals & Penpals - Owner's Edition!

      Hi all, I suggested this thread idea in the Gen Discussion topic "Do you have any doll friends?" and some interest was shown, so I am presenting it to you now.

      This is not an RP thread
      -
      there already exists a Roleplaying thread where you can RP as your doll and be penpals with another doll RP'er. This thread is aimed at the people behind the dolls, who might be looking for a new online friend to chat to, or feel a little lost or new in this very expansive community where there is so much variety in both dolls, and people, that it can be overwhelming.

      Some people are more comfortable than others providing personal information publically, so I have tried to keep all the questions "safe" or "optional" - only respond to the ones you would like to answer, there is no need to fill out the entire form.

      Through this method, I am hoping that people looking for online BJD friends will be able to meet and interact with eachother or strike up some conversation. Please do not converse in this thread - if someone posts a personal and you think you would "get along with them", contact them by any of their listed preferred communication methods, or DoA PM if none other listed.
      Here is the template:

      Your preferred nickname: [This can be your real name, online handle, nickname- whatever you WANT to be called by others]

      Your age range: [You can be specific or vague, or 'rather not say'. If you are under 18 please please have your parental/guardian permission to correspond with people if possible]

      Your location:
      [Be as vague or specific as you want]

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: [Examples could be PM, Email, IM, etc. Your choice as to whether you give your addresses and handles out in public for any chat services, otherwise please exchange over PM]

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      [This can range from "I'm very religious, so please don't insult my beliefs" to "I voted for X last election" or "I have a disability" - basically list any non-BJD hot topics that could be triggering or cause conflict that you want to avoid being brought up or conversely make people aware of, in the case of finding those who share your beliefs and opinions. There are just too many people in this hobby for everyone to get along based on BJD interest alone]

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      [Reasons could be, you are new to the hobby, live in a remote area, can't make it to meets, don't find it easy to meet people via the regular forums, feeling "alone" in your hobby, want to share stories, etc]

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? [Tell us a bit about them, brand, custom, personality or backstory etc but keep it simple and short at 1-2 paragraphs max, please. You may include 1 picture of your favorite doll. If you don't have a doll yet, you can talk about and post a picture of the doll you intend to buy]

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? [Example, "I only collect YoSDs" "I have a thing for Resinsoul and BBB"]

      What's your current BJD goal?
      [Example: "I'm learning to sew so I can make her clothes", "I'm saving up to buy him", "I want to get better at face-ups", "I'm hunting for new props and accessories" "I should take more photos"]

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      ["No, it doesn't matter" or "Yes, I prefer to talk to people who collect only male LUTS" etc]

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      [Please keep this section to about one or two paragraphs only, no wall of texts like my own here! This is an 100% open ended question, as long as what you say relates to BJDs]

      That's it! Basically, the idea is we all fill out our profiles and if you see someone you might get along with, send them a PM, say hi, and ask them a friendly question or two! I made this thread because someone showed interest in it, so I hope others will share that interest.

      Remember that this isn't for your life story - it's a profile, a little slice of you and your BJD world. So keep it simple, to the point, and doll related whenever possible. Also remember there is nothing scary about messaging other forum-goers and if you don't get along with someone, it's really not the end of the world for either of you.

    2. Well, I hope I'm not the only person that does this. D:

      Your preferred nickname: Well, my name is Jazmin, which is fine. Or I'm okay with Star. *Points to user name* o uo

      Your age range: Well I'm 22, turning 23 later in the year. But I'm fine talking to anyone of any age. :D

      Your location: Floorriiiddaa. =/

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Probably PM. I don't get on any of my IMs anymore. Or if you have FB we could chat on there. ^__^

      Any "important" information that people should know: If we're talking religion or politics I'm into neither.
      I am agnostic and am open to others belifs as long as they're not pushed on me. And politics I just ignore. Lol.
      But I'm a very easy going person and I don't get offended easily. :)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I'm just looking for more friends in the hobby (as I don't really have any). Having friends brings out more excitment in the hobby, and that's something I'm kinda lacking as I don't talk to the BJD friend I used to have. And since I love this hobby I would like to be able to talk and share with someone who is interested in BJDs as well. :'D

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Well I can't really say I have a favorite! That's like a parent saying they have a favorite child. Lol. I have 3 dolls and a floating head (they're all listed in my sig). I love them all, but I will say, Citlali is the most photogenic. XD
      Ummm, My boy Tsuki and Citali are in a story together about a post apocalyptic world. My Ltf is in her own story, she's a fairy. And my floating head Jina is also in his own story. He's secretly in a rock band. Last two stories haven't really been developed.
      Feel free to check out my dA page (link in sig) if you wanna check out some of my dolls. :)

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I like all types of dolls. Kinda wanting to get an MSD for some reason. Lol. But I probably wont be getting any doll anytime soon. :C
      As far as companies I think I could find at least one doll I like in any company. XD

      What's your current BJD goal? I do wanna learn how to sew eventually. I also need to get my Jina boy a body. And I wanna complete my little fairy Maiza. :'D

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Not really, as I don't have any favs. Plus people interestd in different dolls or companies is a good thing! You might be able to find out about a new one you never heard of. :)

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I don't think so. o Ao

      I hope people find this, espcially after reading how many people don't have any doll friends in the GD.
      No one likes to be alone in their own hobby. :)

    3. Your preferred nickname: Magiek (Magic with an accent ;P)

      Your age range: In the middle of 19-21 (Gee I wonder what number that could be)

      Your location: NY (Few feet away from Canada)

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PMs for now, if I like you enough I might give you my cell number for texting :3

      Any "important" information that people should know: I am Atheist but open minded when it comes to religion. I DO NOT talk about politics, way to frustrating. I'm an Army wife. I do occasionally have really poor spelling (aka grammar Nazis need not apply.)


      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? ;^; I live in the middle of nowhere, I like having people to bounce ideas off of that won’t think I’m crazy.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?

      [​IMG]Metaphisto is MY BABY, he is a Dollshe (formerly IM) Hound. DS Hound was my BJD first love; my grail doll. He is also my first OC. So yeah he’s my baby.
      I’m always changing his backstory (I struggle with Sci fi vs Fantasy.) So here’s some stuff that always remains, his base character.
      He’s a total ladies man, might be considered an incubus. He’s not a big talker typically just makes sounds, ‘chuckles’ a lot. He is also a few screws loose on the mental scale, will occasionally freak out (more often than not.) He does not sleep.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I luv Dollshe! Also I intend to keep the majority of my doll family msds. My human size is msd. (My boy is literally a freaking giant ._.)

      What's your current BJD goal? I am currently saving up for Gadget, my boy Gizmos twin sister. She is a Unoa Luisis Mnf hybrid, also saving for future mods. Almost all my characters need mods of some sort.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? All’s fair game

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: Like I said above MSD is ‘human size’ for me. I’m always going back and forth whether their world is sci fi or fantasy.

    4. thanks for being brave enough to make the first post guys. gonna toss my own profile in now!

      Basic Info:

      Name: online i like my friends to call me Lei or Leitan, although i will tell you my IRL name if you ask.
      Age: early 20s!
      Location: USA (east coast)

      Contact Info: i enjoy both writing long messages and instant chat. for the former i prefer PMs over email but i will share email if asked. the the latter i have Skype, AIM, and even Steam chat works (i game a lot so always logged in to Steam). i will also voice chat and/or have my webcam on [on Skype etc] but only if we know eachother well enough and there is a good reason for it.

      Important Info:
      i have health problems which mean sometimes i spend a lot of time at home with only my hobbies and online stuff to amuse me, and my IRL friends aren't always around because they go to college etc, or i feel too unwell to "hang out" in person. so it's hard for someone my age to socialize with my peers IRL, except when i am in good health (which comes and goes)
      i'm an atheist but i'm non-judgemental as long as a) your personal beliefs don't spread hate or discrimination and b) we avoid religious debates in general.
      i'm "bi" (and i don't want an online date, i just want to avoid homophobia by stating this), have mostly liberal politics (and i dislike talking about them, but if they do come up, i probably cannot get along very well with someone who is very politically rightwing/conservative, sorry) and my jokes are often not PC- my sense of humor may be considered offensive to some... but i never mean any harm if i make an off-color joke and will usually apologize if it offends.

      Why I 'd like some more BJD friends: If you read my important info at least to the first part end, it should be clear. while i am a member of a wonderful local BJD club, i am often at home or too sick to go out and socialize so i have to make most of my friends online, and my close IRL friends are not 'doll people'. i would like more friends i can talk about BJDs with, simple as that.


      The BJD Info:

      My #1 doll: is still my first ever BJD, a tan AoD Yuki named Yoon-Ji. In my 'storyline' she is a Korean-American girl, currently living in Hawaii (but she didn't grow up there). She is currently 17-18 years old.
      no one else shared a doll pic yet! Remember, you are allowed to post ONE picture of the doll you either have as your favorite or want to get the most here. this is Yoon Ji-

      [​IMG]

      My current BJD goal: is to become really good at face-ups. i have yet to attempt doing a face-up on a BJD (although i tweak company faceups sometimes) and i'm practicing on one of my Dollfie Dreams & Monster High in the meantime. it's my dream to get really good at them and i need to practice more than i do right now.

      What types of dolls I want to discuss:
      any really! i prefer female or andryogynous dolls but like male dolls too, might get one one day. i also own many semi-/OT dolls like Dollfie Dreams, VMF50, Pullip etc and i collect anime toys and figures, so i will welcome anyone who collects any kind of doll really.

      Additional Info: Not much! Dolls are my current addiction as they help me keep my mind off things when i am sick and down, so i spend most of my [non-essential] finances on them at the moment. as such, my collection has grown very rapidly, although no doubt i will end up selling those i do not really 'bond' with and keeping the ones i'm very attached to (like YJ, i could never sell her, ever).

      even if we just exchange a few words, don't be afraid to chat to me or other people in this thread.

    5. Yay, glad this thread was approved! :)
      Here goes;

      Preferred nickname:
      Taelar or Andy, up to you.

      Age range: I'm 23, going on 24. Feel free to contact me whatever your own age, though.

      Location:
      Sweden (Stockholm/Uppsala), also quite frequently the Åland Islands. I'd love to find both locals and world-wide friends.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Let's start with PM. After that maybe e-mail of skype, we'll see what works best. But I should probably point out that I do not have Facebook and I have no intention of changing that...

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      Well, since this seems unusual I should probably point out that I'm a guy ;) I also have a light form of autism, which basically makes me a bit odd, and leads me to not be very good at judging people's feelings, I never mean to be mean, so please don't be offended if I say something strange (and inform me that it was strange)... And, probably most importantly, don't be homophobic, I'm bi and have dealt enough with prejudice :) (also, I abuse smileys) ;)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I'm relatively new to the hobby and only really know one other person in it, so it would be nice to have a couple more people to discuss and share experiences with.


      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Oh, um... well, the only one I own is an Illusion Spirit Muka. His name is Tiyu, he's a gardener, and he's extremely gay, and if I allow myself to go on there'll be way too much text ;)

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Well, most of the dolls I'm looking for are the large sizes (60cm+), but I like a lot of the smaller ones too, they just wouldn't fit in with the crew I'm putting together.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      Getting better att making clothes for them, I've always loved sewing, so :) And I really wanna learn to make faceups, but that's probably far into the future...

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      No, it doesn't matter

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      Uhm, not really. Anything you wanna know, feel free to ask! :)

    6. Your preferred nickname: Megan or Marge. :) Megan is my real name but I often go by Marge online.

      Your age range: Well, I'm 19 but I don't mind talking to different age ranges. I've been told I don't act my age anyway.

      Your location:
      I'm in south TX.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PMs, email, or AIM. Please pm me if you want either my email or AIM.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I prefer to not talk about religion or politics. I'm atheist myself and while I respect all people's beliefs it's still not a topic that I feel comfortable discussing. As for politics, I don't pay attention to them to have conversations about it.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I've managed to convert practically my whole household to bjd lovers (4/6 now have dolls) but I don't know anyone outside of the family that even knows about bjd and I'd love someone to talk to. It's a hobby that I'd like to become more involved in.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My favorite doll is my Honey Delf Lolly. Her name is Brandy and while she was technically my second doll I think of her as my first. I have two dolls on layaway at the moment but right now Brandy is the only one at home. I haven't developed her character a whole lot but I like to think of her as a sweet, innocent girl.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I only have Yo-SDs (as does the rest of my family). I suppose that out of all the companies, LUTs is definetely my favorite(it's a family favorite actually). We have four Honey Delfs in the family(although one is incoming).

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I'd like to learn to sew and someday I really want to go to a meet. I'm just too nervous to go alone and my sisters are all younger and don't want to go at all.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Not really. I don't care what kind of bjd a person has, I just want bjd owner friends. :)

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      My current doll family includes my Honey Delf Lolly (Brandy) at home and my incoming IMPLdoll Teno and Gela.

    7. Your preferred nickname: Any variation of Arturia is fine, if you find Arturia too long. :P It's a new online handle I'd like to keep using far into the future so seeing different people's takes on nicknames would be interesting haha!

      Your age range: Turned 20 just last May, but I hope that doesn't stop anyone from talking to me! I'd love to talk to anyone, it's more interesting that way.

      Your location:
      I'm from the Philippines.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: We can PM or you can ask for my Skype/Facebook through PM. :)

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I'm a Protestant but don't worry, I won't force my beliefs down anyone's throat. I actually have a lot of friends who are agnostics and atheists. I prefer not to discuss politics simply because I don't trust politicians. Let's see, what else… I'm new to the hobby--in fact, I'm still waiting for my first doll to arrive!

      I just like talking to people in general. For me, it's a lot like reading a book but with infinitely more possibilities since you and the person you're talking to are the authors of your own stories.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I don't have a lot of BJD friends irl yet. It would be nice to talk to someone who understands and loves the same hobby! And like I said earlier, I just really like meeting new people and talking to them in general. I find a sort of quiet happiness in that.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Well, right now, I have already started the process of obtaining my first ever doll, which is a Souldoll Soul-Kid Asen I am head over heels in love with. She's definitely my favorite! Though I have 3 other dolls that I'm seriously contemplating on getting. (Doll Chateau Colin and Bella, DollnDoll Diamond Noel)

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I find myself drawn to MSDs. I am also in love with "quirky" sculpts like those from DollnDoll, Souldoll, and Doll Chateau.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I just want to be a good owner, knowledgeable and able to care for her babies. That's really important to me, especially since I'm a really busy college student. In the future, I hope to be able to make clothes and wigs for my dolls.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Yes, definitely! I certainly believe that this community lacks Asen and Noel love. But I'm really open to meeting other people as well because, most especially as a newbie, I'd love to hear everyone's differing points of view on doll aesthetics, modding, and just the hobby in general.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      Nothing, really. Since I don't have any at the moment. Haha.

    8. Your preferred nickname: Hannah. That's my real name, and I don't really have too many nicknames.

      Your age range: 19 as of this past June. I'm interested in anyone around there or even a bit older. :)

      Your location: Michigan, United States (literally in the middle of the mitten)

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PMs, email, Facebook (though email and Facebook would be great!) Snail mail would even be awesome!!

      Any "important" information that people should know: I'm a HUGE history buff and I tend to like sharing random facts. I would prefer not to talk about religion since I'm questioning the whole thing (I was raised Catholic, though), and I don't really want to talk about politics since I have an extremely strong opinion when it comes to it (although I don't force my ideas on anyone!). I'm also fairly new to the hobby, and haven't really met too many people. Also, I have a dry sense of humor. :)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? Like I said, I'm relatively new to this hobby, and since I live in the middle of nowhere, it's hard to find people to talk to about it. Plus, my family is still not 100% on board with the idea that I have a doll. I would really just like to meet new people.

      And onto the BJDS...

      Who is your favorite, and what are they like? Well, since I only have one doll, my favorite is Allison Loraine, a Kid Delf Darae who has been with my for a little over three months. She's so cute and so sweet, and we share the same interest in history (she loves learning about the Romanovs). I'm still trying to develop more of her character, but she's going to be a sweet, little stinker. :)

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I really, really love Soom's Rosette School of Dolls because their girls legs are sooo long (and I love long legs, comes with being a runner). Marguerite and Violet are my favorites so far. I also love the Delf Miyu sculpt, and she is my grail doll for sure. I hope to eventually purchase one a couple of years down the road.

      What's your current BJD goal? Since I'm a busy college student, I'm just trying to get clothes for her and find the right fit for her personality. It seems like every time I find a cute outfit that's perfect for Allison, I can't afford it or my mom gets mad at me for "wasting" my money.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Yes and no, because I'm open to meeting anyone with an doll sculpt. :)

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I really love MSDs, but I like a few SDs as well. Other than that, if you have any questions, feel free to message me!

    9. Your preferred nickname: Jess

      Your age range: 23 (just about to turn 24)

      Your location: Wales, UK

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Email generally - [email protected]
      I was really into penpalling as a teen, and would be happy to snail mail too :)

      Any "important" information that people should know: Um, I'm very liberal and open-minded. As far as politics goes, I have to warn you it's my day job: I'm a socialist and a Labour party county councillor, but I'm not evangelical about it. I can't see myself ever getting on with someone who identifies as UKIP or BNP though! My other interests include history (I'm studying C19th politics as a grad student), classic horror, ska music, and vintage fashion. I also like 1/12 scale and fashion dolls - my mum deals in vintage Sindy so it's kind of inevitable!

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I've owned a doll for about 5 or 6 years now, but I've never really got involved in the community. I've got a little more free time coming up now though, and would like to get a little more into the community and crafting side of things.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I started off with a Dollmore Model F (Ipsae), then sold her on to raise the funds for an Elfdoll pin-up girl Barbara which I bought from the DoA boards - it was love at first sight!

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I like realistic looking dolls; Granado has captured my interest at the moment. Supiadoll is another fave.

      What's your current BJD goal? To get some jointed hands for my Elfdoll, and a MSD to keep her company. I'm struggling to find a sculpt that I really really like though.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? It doesn't particularly matter to me. :)

      I also have a Facebook page promoting my faceup service and artwork https://www.facebook.com/sorenkaartwork ^^/

      Any "important" information that people should know:

      I love exchanging information and skill-specific topic like drawing, doll faceup, sewing, knitting, carpentry, anything related or not related to BJD.
      Loves cats, dogs, and almost any animals.
      I stay away from politics and religious topic.
      I like to know about others' doll story and loved being listened to as well :)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I want to expand my networking and get more new friends ^^

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      My favorite so far are my SDGRG Nono twins, OE and SWD~ I am haunted by these twins for 6 months before I decide to adopt both XD

      My crew are quite varied. I have LUTS, SOOM, Pipos, and Volks in my crew, and later hopefully.. Iplehouse Arvid and Spiritdoll Cedar~ :D I'm not brand-specific lover, and I adopt those I really like, which explains why my crew members vary~

      Hopefully we can be friends! :)

    11. Your preferred nickname: Lissie

      Your age range: 18

      Your location:
      Lincolnshire, England

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: either pm or emails on (my user name)@hotmail.co.uk

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I'm pretty much open chat-wise, gotta say though I do have a fair few health problems (mainly to do with my digestive system, so I'm a little funny about food), I do have aspergers syndrome (if you don't know what it is, look it up) which can cause me to say odd things or the wrong things without realizing, so please be patient, I really don't mean to (but I don't use it as an excuse all the time like the girl on 'glee') - I'm going to uni in a few weeks to do animation and illustratiion, so bear with me during the moving dates if I don't reply!

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I need dolly friends!! someone who when I complain about my doll not having been dispatched yet won't a) look at me like I'm crazy and b) have a clue what I'm on about - stuff like that

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I've recently had to sell my 2 DZ MSDs in order to buy my dream doll - a Zaoll Luv which I intend to mod to a boy, his name is Beau Lysander and he's, to put it plainly, a bit of a man-slag, but everyone love's him because he's one of those annoyingly likeable guys who everybody should hate, but can't help liking, also he's narcoleptic which is triggered by stress.
      He was an orphan, but because he has an IQ of 198 (wowzers) he got a scholarship to a boarding school where he was brought up to play instruments (the violin, guitar, bass, piano, cello, flute) and generally be a bit of a likeable jerk.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I tend to like really odd sized dolls (not on purpose, that's just the way it goes) like unconventional proportions etc (like the zaoll, basically a short SD), I've only ever had dollzone dolls before but with Beau I'm branching out to Dollmore and after that, who knows?

      What's your current BJD goal?
      With Beau I'll be doing my first ever mods - FtM, his faceup, tattoos, piercings, etc - my goal is simply to make him into the perfect Beau - in my eyes at least!

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      It would be nice, but I'm not terribly bothered ^^

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:

    12. Your preferred nickname: Kat Your age range: I'm 18

      Your location: I live in South Africa, about an hour away from Johannesburg.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I would prefer PM but I'm not opposed to email. Any "important" information people should know: I'm Christian, but I don't go around pushing my religion down people's throats, and am quite open to people of any other religions (or lack thereof) so long as they do the same. I'm also quite open minded. I sometimes struggle to express myself properly in writing, so I may come off strange sometimes.
      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? There aren't many people in my community that know about the hobby, and I don't have many BJD friends, so it would be nice to be able to have someone to talk about dolls with that actually understands the hobby.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favourite doll, and what are they like?
      I only have one doll at the moment, and one on the way. His name is Deimos and he's my baby :P He's what one could call a 'soldier' though he borders more on assassin, and takes his job quite seriously (though later on he starts questioning the nature of his work)

      [​IMG]

      Is there a specific type of doll/s or any companies you really like?
      My grail doll is Migidoll Cho, who I am planning on getting in the (hopefully) near future. He's from the same story as Deimos and is part of a rebel gang. I also have an unhealthy love for Souldoll, especially Souldoll Chiron (both human and centar versions). I tend to prefer SD's though there are some tinies that I would one day like to buy.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      At the moment I'm mostly focusing on saving for my Cho, but I would like to learn how to do face ups some day.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Not really, I would like to find people with a variety of tastes because variety is the spice of life, as they say.

      Any additional information about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      No, nothing at the moment.

    13. Your preferred nickname: My real name is Candace. My DoA name is just how you say my name in Japanese sounds. Either is fine, or if you'd prefer I also have the nickname of "Candy."

      Your age range: I am 22, turning 23 in November.
      Your location:
      I go to school in Boulder, CO and live in Longmont, CO.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I would prefer PM, and if I feel like we could become good friends I don't mind sharing my facebook. I am almost never on my IM programs.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I am an athiest, and I have very liberal views. I welcome any friends of any religion. I'd rather not talk about politics, but if somebody says something really bigoted around me it's hard for me to keep my mouth shut. So it's probably best if you have pretty liberal views, too.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I am really new to this hobby; I am still saving up for my first BJD. I don't have any friends who are into the hobby, and I'd really like to meet people who I can relate to on this. The few people I have told are supportive, but I also want friends who can empathize with my interest. Also I wouldn't mind some information from a veteran for this newbie, lol.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? So, I haven't bought my doll yet. All the money I was saving up had to be spend when my boyfriend and I moved, so I'm starting from scratch again. But I've done a lot of research, and the doll I am planning to buy first is a MNF Chloe. I have a whole back-story I'm writing for her, so I'm not quite able to say exactly what she is like yet. But I am impatient to buy her and let everyone meet her. :)

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I really like Fairyland, even though I've only played with one in person. They seem to be really great quality all around. I also am interest in Angell-Studio, Luts, and a few others. I think I prefer MSD, but I also want at least one little one and maybe a bigger one.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      My current goal is to buy my MNF Chloe. I would love to learn to sew for her, but that will take a while, since I don't sew at all.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      I welcome friends who like any kind of doll, since I am so new to this hobby. However, I would also love a few friends who have experience with dolls from Fairyland, Luts, and Angell-Studio.

      Any additional info:
      I changed this, because I don't have a BJD yet. I figured I would just add a little more about myself in case people have other common interests. So, I also love to write, read, travel, play video games, and cook. I have two kitties that I love dearly named Chrono and Schala. I am a English and Japanese double major, near graduation. I have traveled abroad to Japan for 4 months. I really hope I find some great friends, and I look forward to meeting people. :)

    14. Your preferred nickname: Elle. Which is my name. :)

      Your age range: I'm 21, a typical 90s kid, but happy to talk to anyone from any decade!

      Your location:
      Plymufffff, Devon, England.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I'm really forgetful so the best way to do it is over PM to start, then FB probably. I hardly ever check my email and rarely log on to MSN, but I can try to make more of an effort if we click! If you have a dA account we can talk over that as I'm on there more often.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      As far as religion and politics go, if you want to talk about it I'm OK with it though I might not agree with you. I'm fervently atheist, but fascinated by the psychology of religion, so I have no problem with open-minded religious people. Politically I'm pretty liberal and generally apathetic, but don't usually get on with Conservative types. I do NOT want to talk to anyone with bigoted, prejudiced, homophobic views. No way. Not that I've seen many on here!

      I'm also a bit of a grammar Nazi! I would never correct anyone's writing or be arsy about it, but I find constant abbreviating of speech and misspellings incredibly distracting and in text-based conversations it can be a make-or-break thing for me. Occasional typos are fine and everyone makes mistakes, and if English isn't your first language then of course I make allowances :)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?:
      Oh, not really looking as such, but if there's any nice people out there with cool dolls I'd be glad to make friends! I have several dolly friends already and it's always fun to get together for a moan and a squee :) And if you live near me then we can meet up and coo over dollies together!

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I love all my dolls the same! I'll just talk about them all generally. My dolls are all based on Gothic horror fiction, all taking the forms of monsters or creatures from mythology. I'm obsessed with Gothic horror and my dolls are all very dark and creepy, though still a lot of fun! Please click on my signature to see my DA with more info ^^

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I adore Cerberus Project, especially the Delf line. Those dolls are resin perfection. My favourite sculpt ever is Delf El and I own two. I also love Luts as they were the first doll company I ever heard about and bought from.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I would love someday to be a faceup artist. <3

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?:
      No! Company preference is only a matter of taste and I like hearing about different experiences.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      I love writing about my dolls' characters, and they all have fairly involved backstories and dynamic personalities. I really enjoy discussing BJD characters and storylines with people and I like hearing about the worlds people have created for their dolls to inhabit. I'm a very hands-on doll-owner and am constantly hacking up parts of my dolls, modding them, customizing them etc. I also like to feel helpful, so I'm happy to answer any doll-related questions if I feel confident about the answer!

    15. Your preferred nickname: Jessie or Jess

      Your age range: 18

      Your location:
      New Brunswick, Canada

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM, email, Facebook, or snail mail would be awesome!!

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I am religious, but by that doesn't mean a penpal would have to be. As long as there is no bashing of beliefs we'll get along fine.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? The reason I am looking for a penpal is because even though there are a fair number of bjd people in the area, none of them are my age. So I'm basically looking for a buddy.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I know it is a cop-out, but all my dolls are my favourites!! But if I have to choose it would be my delf Miyu. I searched long and hard to find her and she is just so awesome!


      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I really like Fairyland, Luts, Soom and Peakswood dolls.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      To NOT buy anymore dolls on impulse! I plan to start saving for MNF Chloe soon to be the grown up version on one of my characters.

    16. Your preferred nickname: Katie

      Your age range: 22, but I have both younger and much older friends.

      Your location: Saranac Lake, NY. Relocating to Fremont, CA in a few weeks!

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: AIM, absolutely (cnttakethsky). I also play WoW and am not shy about giving out my RealID/b.net tag. My twitter handle is the same as my username. Once I get to know you a little, I'm also pretty cool giving out my number for texting. I'm not too into small mail, email and PM as I get too anxious about it.

      Any "important" information that people should know: I have severe anxiety issues, and can sometimes be unpredictably shy about initiating conversations.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I just like talking about dolls! I have no friends that have more than a passing interest, and don't know anyone in the hobby at all. Living currently in the middle of nowhere, I've never had the opportunity to go to a meet or anything.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? http://imgur.com/a7ikZ This darling, a Minifee ShuShu named Noodle. She was my dream doll for years, and I absolutely adore her. She's got a variable character for RP, a sweet young woman or a doll that knows she's a doll or even one of my WoW characters.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I like MSDs, both slim and not. I really admire Fairyland bodies for their gorgeous sculpting and engineering, but any doll can look beautiful.

      What's your current BJD goal? Improving my faceup skills! I'd like to be able to share pictures of Noodle without feeling like I have to apologize for her faceup being so shoddy.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? It doesn't matter at all!

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: Not much else to say. Ask me anything though, dolls or otherwise!

    17. Your preferred nickname: My name is Chelsea. I don't really have any nicknames that I go by.

      Your age range: My non-online friends are all very different in age so I don't really care how old my online friends are. I'm currently 23 years old, in case you want to know.

      Your location: Currently living in Raleigh, NC in the USA. I go to college in Elizabeth City, NC though so that's where I'll be during the school year. I try to go home to Raleigh on the weekends sometimes if I don't have a big test or project coming up.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: You can PM me or find me on deviantART. If you'd prefer a different method we could work something out.

      Any "important" information people should know: Because of college I can sometimes be absent from the online world for a few days at a time. Pharmacy school keeps me very busy.
      I'm fine talking about just about anything as long as the conversation remains respectful (no bashing of each others views/beliefs please).
      I can sometimes be shy (even online) so if you want to talk you will probably have to initiate the conversation.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I don't meet very many people in real life because my life revolves around Pharmacy school so it would be nice to find some new friends online. It can be pretty lonely while I'm away at college. None of my classmates are interested in BJDs. I would like someone to talk to who has similar interests (you can see some of my non-BJD related interests on my profile and on my dA profile). Also, I haven't come up with bios/personalities for any of my dolls yet so I would love to talk to someone about this topic.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I love all of my dolls equally. I sometimes have temporary favorites though.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Not really. I used to have a strong preference for MSDs, specifically Iplehouse MSDs. But I've since purchased other companies dolls and other sized dolls and have discovered that I love these other dolls just as much as my Iplehouse MSD.

      What's your current BJD goal? I want to learn how to do face-ups.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite doll or company? No. I'm actually more interested in learning about other doll companies that I'm not familiar with.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I currently have six BJDs; three MSDs, two Yo-SDs, and one SD. I go to meet-ups in Raleigh with a friend and her sister who currently own two BJDs. And I guess that's it for now. I can't think of anything else to share. Please feel free to contact me if you want to chat about anything!

    18. Your preferred nickname: Sinnii, Sin

      Your age range: I'm 21. Willing to talk to anyone that can carry on conversation like a sensible person....unless we are fangirl/boying.

      Your location: I live in SC.... 'nuff said.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM, IM (Yahoo, AIM), even Skype; contact me via PM and I can give my screen names. :)

      Any "important" information that people should know: I am into some odd things and I tend to have a gutter mouth. I tend to have very liberal and controversial views, so anything that bothers you, do not hesitate to let me know; I try to respect differing views as long as I get that same respect.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? Doll friends are awesome. I have many hobbies and many friends that like them as well, but I don't know too many people into collecting BJDs. I love having friends that I can share my hobbies with, and this one is no different.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My fave is my Abadon head... cuz he's my only doll right now XD

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I prefer SD sized dolls 60-70cm range... maybe a little higher. I especially like Luts, Dollshe, and Iplehouse dolls.

      What's your current BJD goal? To pay off the Dollshe Husky I have on layaway.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Would be nice, but it's not a 'must.'

      Your location:
      Kentucky, USA

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM is OK, e-mail is better.

      Any "important" information that people should know: Hum. I find religion to be a fascinating topic, but not one in which I have any personal stake. I am very liberal with regards to most "social issues". I study, teach, and speak German, and on the off-chance that any German speakers see this and would like to converse...
      I prefer abbreviations and text-speak to be kept to a minimum.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      It's always nice to have more people with whom to communicate!


      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      This is such a difficult question.. I have a lot of dolls! Probably Vincent, my DOC Too. He and his sister were my first dolls. He's changed over the years from pseudo-goth into a sweet little kid.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? If you look at my collection in my profile, you'll see that the answer to this question is a definite 'no'. My dolls are all over the map.

      What's your current BJD goal? I would love to get back in to sewing for my dolls.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? No.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: My collection is pretty large: I've never sold a doll.

    20. Your preferred nickname: Dara, Lizard, or Kate

      Your age range: 18, but I am happy to talk to anyone!

      Your location:
      near Hartford, CT

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM to start, but if we hit it off email would be good and snail mail is always fun once in a while.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I don't want to delve too deeply into politics, but religion fascinates me as long as it is discussed respectfully.

      I am a college student, and school work always comes first, so I may not be super fast at responding.

      I'm okay with talking to someone who uses lots of chat speak, but I don't use much- it feels unnatural to me.

      Even though I'm new to this, I'm not looking for a "babysitter". If you'd like to be mentor-ish sometimes, that's awesome, but don't be scared to talk to me because you think I might latch on for all my newb-ish questions. I can use the search function!

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I'm new to the hobby and tend to be super shy, so I think talking one on one with some people should help me become more active on this forum and knowledgeable about my dolls.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I love both of my girls, but Flea, my Fdoll Amber, will probably always be special as my first bjd.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I tend to like cute dolls. Right now I have a 1/6 and a 1/12, but I'm interested in moving up to msd for my next doll. I'm a little cautious about SD and bigger dolls, particularly since they won't fit so well in my college room, but I love to look at them and would love to learn more about them.

      What's your current BJD goal?

      -Not to let my doll family explode and my bank account wither. I want all of my dolls to be special to me.
      -I'm considering learning to do face-ups.
      -I want to be able to take pictures that I'm not embarrassed to show the community.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      No, it doesn't really matter but it would be better if you're okay with cute.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:

      I may be a little unconventional in what I think is pretty; I tend to like bright and clashing colors and crazy patterns. I think all dolls are beautiful in their own ways, whether it's conventionally gorgeous or pretty in a 'proud 3-year-old who dressed herself' way.
      I think for a bit of a change and some interesting family dynamics, my next doll may be a male msd.

      Your location: KY, USA

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM, email, IM (though I don't get on very often, same goes for Skype)

      Any "important" information that people should know: I'm a bisexual Asatruar (look it up, dingbat! ;) ) who's socially conservative (ish) and economically liberal. But I would sooo much rather talk about dolls and religion than politics. I like to think I have a good sense of humor. Also, I am dealing with recurrent depressive episodes, so if I disappear for a while, it's probably because I'm depressed. But I'll come back, I always do ;)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I'm looking for more friends! I lack friends IRL even though I love talking to and meeting new people. If you sound interesting to me, I'm the creepy person hiding behind the tree behind you (because I'm shy) Anyways, I'd love to talk to other "doll people" to get the skinny on new (to me) doll sculpts and quality. And to have someone to bounce face-ups off of.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Gods, why'd you ask that?? I have 2 on topic dolls that I ~adore~: Nissh, my Fairyland pukipuki pukisha, and Rhode, my Bobobie Rachael head on Resinsoul Xue body. Though if I *had* to pick, I'd probably choose Nissh, because she was my first resin, my first dye job, and first faceup. I've put more of "me" into her than I have Rhode, though Rhode's getting up there!

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I like BBB/RS, and Fairyland, and Angell-Studio, and Ringdoll, and SOOM, and....

      What's your current BJD goal? To get better at sewing and faceups! I'm passable at both, but I'd like to be *good*

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? It honestly does not matter to me, part of the fun of this hobby is the diversity!

      I don't know anyone in the hobby, online or irl, and would like to hear what others have to say.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      I only have one doll - a ResinSoul Feng - who is currently nameless, hairless, eyeless and naked (poor dear!) as certain circumstances are keeping me from working on him at the moment and I want to tailor all of his clothes, heh.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?
      I adore Doll Chateau. The general shape of their bodies, and anything bizarre is a real plus for me.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I think the biggest thing right now is just finishing up my Feng. The hardest part of doing this will be his clothes, but it will be a lot of work to pull together his display as well.

    23. Your preferred nickname: Syndal is fine, it's my real name at any rate so there won't be any confusion! lol.

      Your age range: Preferably people my own age (Mid twenties) or older. Though if you are younger with a more mature outlook on... stuff, feel free to hit me up as well. <3 I'm just not as carefree and jolly as I once was, I have real life issues (work, part time school, moving out, junk like that) and it'd be nice to connect with someone can relate. Or that could pretend to care? Haha!

      Your location: Florida. It is very humid right now. D:

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM. Email (I can give it to you through PM, lol). I also have AiM and MSN messangers. <3

      Any "important" information that people should know: I live with my mother (my dadums works out of state, he is home no where near often enough!) because I choose too and to keep her comany. I have a job that sucks up a LOT of my time, I am usually on late afternoons/ evenings. I don't really have anything detrimental that needs to be aired. I am not religious or political and don't really care to talk about either topic. Religion perhaps, but only in a discussion type setting, not in a 'this is what one should believe,' type setting, yah know? I'm pretty open to discussions. I like people who type (basically) full sentances and try to make their writing make sense. :D

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I love to write. I love people who love the hobby (er, generally!). I love creativity. I love to geek out about dolly things with people who care. :) I have several close dolly friends that I keep in contact with, it would just be lovely to perhaps talk to others!

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? OH. TOUGH ONE. >.> My favorites are a toss up between two (but don't tell them!). My Soom WS Dia boy (Antares) and my Volks NS School A (Balthazar). I just love them. They are the most complete feeling characters in my world, I suppose. Both have faceups I adore, all their tattoo work done and generally... I love their characters to death. They are just sort of my babies, haha.


      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I collect a lot of Soom and Volks it seems...! I find that I don't like the asthtetic of the Chinese brands (though there are a few that surprise me). I have nothing against them (I have owned one before), they are just not my cup of tea. I am not a judge though, to each their own. <3

      What's your current BJD goal? Finish my collection! I have a set amount of dolls I want to purchase to fill my character lineup. I want to buy those last few. :)

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Eh, yes and no. I would love to find people who's interests in dolls are similiar to mine, but I wouldn't be upset if they had different loves. Life is all about peoples differences, being the same all the time is no fun. <3

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I am writing a trilogy of novels that my dolls (my characters) play center stage in. I like to roleplay but generally, I don't roleplay my dolls because they already have a set story they are in...! I'd love to find someone who has stories for their dolls that they want to share and want to hear mine as well. I love hearing input... and giving input. <3

      Ame-chan, Ame or Amber (my real name). I don't care. ^^

      26-years-old.

      Your location:
      Washington State

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding:
      PM, Email, Skype...

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I try to be pretty accepting of people, as I've grown up around people of all types. Also, I will try my best to smooth out any issues that may arise for whatever reason. I like lasting and long friendships.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I recently got back into the hobby and would love some new friends. It's fun to share these types of things with people. There aren't enough of us out there to not get along with one another. Ideally, I'd like to connect with a female my age, someone I can talk with and share dorrie things with.
      I think that it would be neat to have a stable roleplaying partner.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      I pretty much like them all equally for various reasons; however, I'm currently super partial to Chiaki.
      [​IMG]


      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?
      I love Soom and Switch, but I think that there will always be a place in my heart for CP/Luts dolls, as that's what I first started in the hobby with.


      What's your current BJD goal?
      I'm working on being better at sewing things and making my guys complete again. I want to find a super amazing dorrie friend who can exchange character information and the like with me (rping is fun, feel free to PM me if you want).


      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      I don't care, as long as they don't say negative things about others and other companies.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      nope.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      Be freindly, it does not matter how long you are into the hobby. If you live around my rarea, it is great, if you do not, that is not a problem either.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I only have one. Fionn is a rather reserved character, I still haven't leraned much about his past. All I know is that he has been driven away from where he used to live and ended up here with me.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Not really. Anything bishounen goes ^.^

    26. Your preferred nickname: Fiarene or Fia is fine - it's my internet name, but I'll happily reveal my real name to you privately if you find yourself interested! ;)

      Your age range:
      I am 20, and I don't really mind how old you are, though it would be great if you were sort of close to that mark :)

      Location: I live in Canberra, Australia. Happy to have world-wide friends though!

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM to start with, then probably Email. I'll give you my Email if you PM me :D

      Any "important" information that people should know: I am not religious, and while I don't have any issues with people who are, I'd rather not discuss religion. I cannot tolerate homophobes and I am bisexual, so if you have a problem with that, we may not get along ;) I have a lot of views about sex or sexuality that may be considered out of the ordinary, but they don't even need to come up in discussion lol The world of politics might as well be non-existent for me because I don't really pay attention to it lol. I'd also prefer to talk to somebody who doesn't use text speak...I'm not a grammar nazi, but I find it very irritating to read incomplete words.
      I'm very friendly and chatty, and I love getting to know people!


      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? Quite frankly, I just like talking to people! :D It's nice to have people that understand the hobby to have little back and forth chats with! It should be noted, I don't mind if you're a boy or girl or something in between! :aheartbea

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My 'favourite' is probably my Souldoll Vito Sharics, named Neykon. He was my first doll, so I'll always love him! He is an anti-social forest shaman with a tragic backstory. The full list of my dolls is down in my signature, though I do have some non-resin dolls too ;) Here's Neykon:
      [​IMG]


      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I really like Resinsoul, just for their awesome customer service, but I love Dollchateau - everything they make is so unique! And I have a real soft spot for Dollshe boys...:aheartbea

      What's your current BJD goal? I need to get a new, fancy camera to take super pretty photos with!! My current camera just doesn't do my dollies justice! I also really need to finish the mods and customisations on the dolls I have before buying new ones...:|

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? It doesn't matter to me! Variation is fun! :D

      Any "important" information that people should know: I am a lesbian. Don't know why this should bother anyone...but understand that it does. I'm partnered so not looking for a relationship besides friendship :)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I have had a couple dolls for a few years now and really don't have any doll friends. Just looking for people to talk about ideas I have for my dolls, crafts and such.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I have a souldoll hye. She was my first doll and quite honestly I've been terrified to "mess her up". So I haven't done much with her. She is part demon...though her current look does not reflect that at all. I also have a bobobie Isabella. She is what I consider a practice doll. I want to start working on faceups and sewing. She is the template for my next doll who will be called "moth". Character details to be determined.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I love them all. I've never had nor do I intend on having a male doll...but that really doesn't mean anything does it? :D Who knows :)

      What's your current BJD goal? Get more active with the community. Work on sewing, faceups and photography.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? No, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to talk to other doll people. Even if your love for dolls expands into off topic dolls :)

    30. Your preferred nickname: Honestly I like Jacqui, which is my name. But I've been called anything from Jak-attack to Q so it really doesn't matter.

      Your age range: Age doesn't really matter aside from the extremely young. I'm 21, almost 22 if it helps.

      Your location:
      New Jersey, USA

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Anything you're comfortable with. I can do PMs, but I also have a Yahoo messenger ID and a Skype so those are options too.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I like to say that if it isn't something that hurts another living creature without it's consent, I think it's totally cool and more power to you. I only ask that politics and religion not really play a part in our conversations. Also, I'm very passionate about LGBT rights, so please don't message me if you're not so into that. Just letting you know where I'm coming from.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I don't have any friends in the hobby, and it would be nice to have someone I could talk with about these sort of things. Plus, people are just awesome.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I honestly only have two dolls, but I really love my Migidoll Ryu, Octavian, the most. He and my other boy, Farren (a BBB Apollo) are both from the roleplay universe my best friend and I have. So, understandably, they're both pretty dear to my heart.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Not really, but I have waves of interest in certain things. One week I may want another BBB, and another week I may want to make a Benedict Cumberbatch doll from scratch. I'm weird like that.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I need to make my boys more of a wardrobe! They're both sort of sharing and that's not going to work at all! Also, poor Tavian doesn't actually have a pair of shoes yet.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Nope! Doesn't matter at all to me.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      Nothing I can really think of! I collect other dolls too, and am hoping to get a girl doll sometime soon to be another character in my story.

      Your location:
      South New Jersey, USA

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding:
      PM's. I also have yahoo messenger.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I'm very easy going, easy to talk to. I love people and talking to people from anywhere. I can usually manage to talk about anything however my dolls always end up coming up, guess it's because they relate to so many aspects of my life.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      Just to branch out and have more people to talk about dollie things with. I love discovering new things and can't do that without talking to people.

      It'd be nice to find people who enjoy roleplaying as well as that is another one of my huge hobbies or even someone who wants a significant other for their doll.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      Hm...I have a few favorites. It's so hard to decide because my collection has grown and changed a lot. I'd say right now, would be my Raquel. She is my Doll In Mind Flowne, who I adopted from the Marketplace here a while ago. I recently gave her entire body a cleaning and restrung her and now she's just amazing. She's also super cute and adorable so much so that I just want to take her everywhere with me.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?
      Hm...not really. I have dolls from many companies, however I do love Doll-Love dolls because of how pretty and well-made they are. Though I have many dolls from IMPL, another company I adore because of their fantasy dolls.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      Learning how to sew is something I'd love to do. Well, I know how to sew, but how to make clothes for my dolls.
      My current goal as far as my actual dolls go though, would be completeing Astraya (my SD band)

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      No. I love learning about different doll companies and there's so many out there that I want dolls from. I just ask you be respectful about my doll-company choices (Since some of them are not mainstream companies) and I'll do the same for you.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      I am very big into fantasy dolls. I have mermaids/mermen, demons/angels, and dolls from other time periods. I do also have modern dolls. I enjoy both fully.

      Your location:
      Missouri, USA

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Anything is fine, really. Email, PM, Snail Mail, I'd even be open to texting in the future. At some point, I plan to get Skype too.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I'm a Christian, but have lots of friends who don't share my beliefs. Would prefer not to talk about politics as I despise debating. I'm also a single mother, so I do go on rants occasionally. And I'm currently a sophomore in college, so as the new semester begins...there may be times when I'm not speedy with responses. :...( I'm also an anime/manga freak. And I think super-heroes are awesome. Just saying! (and although I can't stand noob speak, I have a tendency to start talking "gangsta" when I feel like the conversation needs some mixing up!)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I'm brand new to the hobby, don't have any dolls yet, and would love to talk to other newbies. I'll probably end up discussing various issues that collectors run into and asking questions, so experienced doll owners are great too. I'd also like someone to share stories with. All my planned dolls are based on characters and it'd be great to find a penpal to help develop my (and potentially their) stories further and character-hunt together with.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Alright, I haven't actually bought a doll YET! I have several dolls I love, but the one that speaks to me the most is the Soom Lazule. Love that factory face-up too!
      http://dollsoom.com/eng/shop/item.php?it_id=1249033158
      He's become one of my characters, The Mad Scientist. His name won't change too much from the company's mold name, from Lazule => Lazarus. He plays with genetic experiments and lives in a huge mansion. He's incredibly lonely (oh, gotta love that cliche!), which is WHY he "makes" friends. :D

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I'm noticing I tend to lean more toward SD's and more specifically Soom. I think female dolls are beautiful, but am more likely to fall in love with the male ones. I've been really in Doll Chateau girls lately as well.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      Save up so I can bring Soom Lazule home! :aheartbea

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Absolutely not! I'd love to have some dolls in common with them (so we can fangirl/boy together! :fangirl:), but I'm pretty open-minded and enjoy others' interests.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      Umm...like I said earlier, my planned doll family is based on characters. I'm not one to impulse buy just because I think a doll is pretty. If you're interested in my basic...ideas, you can check out my Visual Concept thread, I suppose. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?531310-A-mess-of-characters-begging-for-life-)

    33. Your preferred nickname: I can and will give my real name via PM if you would like.

      Your age range: I am 33. I don&#8217;t mind people of all ages, so long as it&#8217;s understood that as an adult, I have adult responsibilities and adult issues. If you are much younger, please be respectful and mature.

      Your location: the U.S. I am open to penpals from all over, though.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM&#8217; s are fine, or even snail mail--I like giving little gifts when I am able to do so. I also have Yahoo, and Skype, though I am rarely on them (unless I have an excuse).

      Any "important" information that people should know: As mentioned above, I do have responsibilities which may or may not sometimes take me away from the hobby, but I will do my best to be attentive as possible. I am a bit of an odd duck. I have a weird and sarcastic sense of humor, will curse like a sailor once I&#8217;m comfortable with you, and can&#8217;t stand intolerance or unfair judgments of any kind. Politics and religion are ok--I am accepting of all opinions so long as they are not steeped in ignorance and/or bigotry of any kind. If it crosses a certain line, however, the conversation is over.
      Other than that&#8230;.I&#8217;m game for just about anything.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I do have friends that are already in the hobby, but it doesn&#8217;t hurt to have more&#8230;.are you someone just as odd as I am? Have a sarcastic, dark sense of humor? Come be my friend!

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I don&#8217;t really do favorites too much&#8230;more so it&#8217;s a question of which doll I am paying the most attention to at this moment, and that&#8217;s a toss up between my Elfdoll Dami (Murmur) my Pluto Doll Vergil (Gideon) and my Migidoll Miho (Kenzi). What are they like? They all have pretty involved story lines--if you want to know, ask!

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Right now I am very much smitten with Doll Chateau, and ANother Secret, but also like Migi and Supia. As for specific molds--I am deeply in love with Soom Dias (as boys) and Dollshe Saints, too.

      What's your current BJD goal? To finish off my group--I have a finite number of dolls I want and plans for each. I&#8217;d like to get them all completed.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Not especially. Variety is the spice of life and all that jazz.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I love talking about dolls in depth, and especially love new, unique back stories--the more involved and different, the better. I also have many other loves and hobbies--so BJD&#8217;s don&#8217;t have to be the only topic of convo.

In the past I have met quite a few people from DOA irl, mainly during holidays. I love to exchange small gifts/ making a second pair for someone else and recycling freebies.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      Im an MD (no, not a Monthy doll, a Medical Doctor). I love to talk about dolls and all aspects of life. I have done almost everything that can be done in this hobby, like wig-making, sewing, modding, face-ups, swaps etc. Currently im highly limited in customising by my pregnancy. Don&#8217;t want my unborn son to be exposed to MSC fumes or resin particles. Due date September 17th (yes, that is Monday, and no, I do not have contractions yet).

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I love to chat with people of all ages, genders, lifestyles, both newbies or experienced members. Like to talk about dolls and all aspects of life as we know it.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My current favourite is pkf Pong.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? My dolls are mainly Elfdoll, Iplehouse and Fairyland, female, male and inbetween. Sizes ranging from Realpuki-IHS EID Female.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I just got a new camera for my birthday, so I would like to learn how to use it. Also would really like to finish some of my rescue projects, start sewing again and learn how to be better at using an airbrush. Lots of dreams for a soon to be mother.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? No, it doesn't matter. I am not a BJD snob.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: Might think of something later.

    36. Your preferred nickname: Elle or Keiko

      Your age range:
      I am 21 years old and usually get along with people who are slightly to significantly older than I am. However, if we have things to talk about, I do not care how old or young someone is.

      Your location: Kingwood, Texas.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding:
      I prefer MSN instant messenger, but I can also do emails.

      Any "important" information that people should know: My dolls are all based on original characters that vary greatly in their beliefs and sense of morality. Most of my characters have something in them that someone could find offensive. Some are gay, while others are homophobic. A few of them are violent and would probably be called evil by most if they were real people. A couple of them are quite religious, and a couple more are the kind that go to church on holidays and spend the rest of the year doing all the things their church says not to do. Mental issues are also part of many of their characters.
      My personal spiritual and political ideals do not quite match those of any of my characters. (heck, most of them don't even like the same music as I do.) However, if anyone is extremely sensitive to religious, moral, or political issues even if they are only being discussed as part of a fictional story, we would probably not be a great penpal match.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?: I would like someone who has similar BJD interests as I do. I would like to discuss stories, characters, and ideas for the physical dolls themselves.
      If I could find people who live close, I would like to try designing sets together and doing photoshoots (hopefully they would be better with a camera than I am.)

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My favourite changes often. One of my oldest doll that I still really enjoy is my V2 Dollshe Husky, Fox. As a character, he is selfish but can be caring deep down and is loyal to the people he does love, to be short. His backstory is extensive and is too long to put here. He is married to my friend's character that is also doll-shelled, and they adopted a child together.
      My doll that gets the most clothing and props is my Oasisdoll Alejandro/AoD girl to boy mod hyrbid, Hilary. The character comes from an imaginary world based on games my brother and I played as a child. Simply put, he's a miserable jerk. He has reasons, but that would also be too long to put here. The doll is overwhelmingly pink and frilly and, to me, brings to mind the food from the movie Marie Antoinette.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?: I love Dollshe- everything from the original Bermann to the Rythmos body. I am also becoming a fan of Oasisdoll. I just ordered another one of them.

      What's your current BJD goal? I want to finish all of my doll projects, especially sanding and blushing a few I have not done yet. I also want to fix up a rococo-esque set for all of my fabulous fop dolls that need a place to let their lace and silk spread out and eat clay cakes.
      I would like to learn how to take photos, but I am not sure if that will ever happen. :sweat

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?: They do not have to love Dollshe as much as I do, but it would be nice. If someone had a bunch of 18th century styled Yos, that would be great. If someone had Dollshe punk rockers, that would be great too. There just has to be some overlap in interests.

      The top photo is Orpheo (Or-Fay-Oh), my Dollshe Pure Body Bernard. The bottom photo from left to right is Amen (Feeple Ashley), Hilary (Oasisdoll Alejandro), and Tristesse (Dollstown 18yr Estella).

    37. Your preferred nickname: Neon


      Your age range: I'm 18, though I've been told I'm mature for my age. I tend to get along well with poeple who are older than me, but I'm ope to all walks of life. :3


      Your location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada


      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Email, Skype, MSN or Facebook!.


      Any "important" information that people should know: I don't currently have any dolls right now, but I've got one on the way, and I'm saing for more! :D Each one of them will be based off of a character I've already made up and have stories for. I don't really like to talk about religion, as I'm still a little lost on my views, and I don't much care for politics, either, as I don't follow them, however I don't really care what your beliefs and views are.




      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?:I don't really have a lot of friends that I can discuss the hobby with, that actually understand what I'm talking about. I'm also new to the hobby, so it's nice to get information when I need it, and know that there's someone on the other end who cares. I love to swap stories, so once you get me going, it's hard to get me to stop! Haha
      I look forward to talking with you!


      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? The doll I have currently on the way will probably be my favorite for a long time to come. Her name is Layne. She's sweet, if not a little naive, but she's growing out of that with the help of Mathhew Cline. She works part-time at a bakery in her town, because she has a passion for all things sweet. She also really like strawberries. :)
      My dream doll, however... That's another story. <3


      I fell in love with her the minute I saw her face. I want to get her ASAP. She's the dream I've had for a faorite character of mine named Constance. I'll tell you more about her later :D
      [​IMG]




      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?: I love... Dolls. It all depends on the sculpt for me. Like most collectors I've met, I have a thing for the beautiful ones, but generally I look for the ones who have the most personality, and the ones that mesh with my existing characters.


      What's your current BJD goal? I want to save up for Constance, and start learning how to make my own clothes when Layne comes in.


      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?: Nope! Whatever you like is fine :D

      Your age range: I'm 18 but I will talk with any age basically :kitty2

      Your location:
      I live in Colorado in the US

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I prefer PM for now to avoid random FB spam. I do not check my IM's often either :ablah:

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I do not know my religion and I am basically in the middle when it comes to the political parties. I do not mind people's religious beliefs or political stand points, but I do not like to talk about them or have them force upon me :vein I love Anime, Manga, Japanese culture, etc. I love art and to draw, but do not believe I am that good. So no worries criticism is welcome mine is probably worse anyway :lol: Warning: I am a very clingy person, So I like to talk personally and deep sometimes and get easily paranoid and panicked. If we become close from talking this is a before warning :sorry Like if you were to disappear for a week with no warning, I would probably think worse case and freak out until you were back. So just warn me hehe :sweat

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      Basically all of my friends stopped talking to me once they went off to college so I am pretty lonely right now :( Also I do not have really any BJD friends and anybody I talk to about them gives me a strange look like "Why should I care?" I need somebody who I can talk to about similar interests :3nodding:


      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Well if I had an option to choose I could not because I could not play favoritism, but considering I just ordered my doll under a week ago it would have to be my DearMine Roy whom I will name Hikaru. His smile just lights up my day :kitty1

      What's your current BJD goal?
      EVERYTHING!! I want to learn how to do my own face-ups, learn to sew both for myself and my BJD's, learn to make props/accessories, improve photography skills, just all of the BJD experience :XD: well perhaps not modding, it still terrifies me to want to try something so permanent and extreme :eek:

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Does not matter to me, even the dolls I do not like I would not mind talking about

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      Well I plan to order a DearMine Irene in not too long so there will be her, but for now it will just be Hikaru. His smile makes me so happy I could not resist getting him. I plan to make Irene my cute little goth girl and name her Charlotte. I plan to completely customize her of my own, unlike Hikaru which is the company's fullset and face-up

      Your location:
      Alkmaar, The Netherlands

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I'm still pretty new to the hobby and am still working hard to find out stuff. I like to write stories while I'm working (it helps get rid off stress and such). I have a daughter I like to talk about and... well I can ramble on occasion :blush

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I'm fairly new to the hobby (as I've mentioned) and I would like to get to know other people to talk about dolls and such.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I don't really have a favorite yet since he's not here yet and I don't know if he'll live up to my expectations but I do think about Hugo (DOD Sha) a lot more than the other three. Since I don't know him that well yet, I can't really tell you about him... except he's the main character in a story I'm trying to write.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I don't have a specific type I like yet. I really do hope I'll find a company or type one day :)

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I wanted to say all of the above but I think the most important one is finding my floating head a body and improving my face up skills and my crafting skills and... ehm... yeah loads hehe

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      No, it doesn't matter to me

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I can be a bit crude, I tend to say my opinion even if it is unpopular, I'll talk about anything including themes that might make people uncomfortable, I am a master of sexual innuendo if you let me be and I am an atheist, I don't mind religious people you don't have to tell me what religion you are, but if you get preachy with me, I will go down hard on you. I also might fall prone to talking about D&D or other roleplaying games.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?

      I just want to expand my network and have more people to talk to, I am pretty new to the hobby.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Lucy is my favorite, she was the first doll I ordered and is based on one of my D&D characters I am playing

      [​IMG]

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I do like Resinsoul due to their good sculpts and big selection of colours (though I wish their bodies were easier to pose), but I am not exclusive to any company.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      All of them ? I am currently trying to sow some clothes for my naked dolls, when I get equipment and my extra head I'll be practicing faceups, I also need to get better at photography. Also I'll have to find a way to give my boy some horrible scars on his body.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      no I don't discriminate

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I am not a Twilight fan so don't talk about it to me if you are one. Also I am a Pagan and a pansexual so bigotry and prejudice against my beliefs and sexual orientation is a quick way for me not to talk to you. Other than that, I am a pretty easy going person ;)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I like chatting with different dollie people and in the town I live in, not a lot of people have BJD's except for my friends so I would like to meet more of you guys :)

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? I only have one doll right now, he is my Luts Kid Delf Cherry and his name is Kiseki. He is my visual kei guitarist/martial arts student and I love him to death.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      My current goal is to save up for my grail doll, a LUTS Senior Delf Juniper. I have wanted her since I got into the hobby. I saw first at a meet up and I have always wanted her ever since then. When I get her, I am going to make her into my character that is the female half of a set of vampire twins that I want to make one day. Her brother will be the next goal, a LUTS Senior Delf Abadon -drools-

      Any "important" information that people should know: I do not enjoy talking about politics or religion. I feel as if those two topics shouldn't be discussed unless you want to start an argument... But I'm very open-minded. I also work on Saturdays thru Tuesday. And on one of my days off I like to take a day trip away from my town with my husband, so I normally won't be online till late.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I would love to have a BJD friend that I can "fan-girl" over BJDs with. I also hope to find more BJD go-ers close to where I live.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? -shrugs- I know only a few people who like bjd's. I've been in this hobby close to 9 years, and love meeting new people, even if it's just online. :D

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My boys are equal to me right now. My favorite is gone. (Long story. He was thrown out on me. Ask if you want.) My boys have extreamly differing personalities. Haha. To much to list here.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I love just a few molds from each company but I don't ever seem to dislike any. I have only SD's right now, but plan a few MSD's and a tiny.

      What's your current BJD goal? Have more? xD These dolls are my escape. I sew for them, do faceup's, use them in my photography, make them items. They give me something quiet to pass the nap times with.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? No, I like all dolls so everyone should be fine.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: They are extreamly versitile characters.

    44. Name: Amber
      Age: Over 18 and under 21, if we actually start talking I'll probably tell you my real age :p
      Location: USA. Again, if we start talking I'll most likely say more but I'm not too fond of throwing personal info around the great, wide interwebs. :p

      Method of chatting/corresponding: Snail mail is preferred, but am also open to emailing and possibly PMing. I usually don't have lots of time so that's why I think snail mail would be the best.

      Important info: Jesus Christ is my life, I do not like politics much and I am against gay marriage. I do not support the act of same sex relationships or acts, and I also do not believe in sexual relations before marriage. I am also pro-life.
      This does not mean if you are a lesbian who is not married and has a baby I do not want to be friends with you! It simply means due to my faith I do not support gay marriage, sex before marriage and abortions. It means that even though I do not support these things I believe that YOU are free to make YOUR own decisions and I will respect them. I do know that some people may have an issue with people against gay marriage or for the pro-life movement, that is why I decided to state these things.

      I'm looking for a BJD penpal because... I'm quite overwhelmed with the massive amount of people on DoA and would like to make some friends one-on-one rather than try and stick myself in multiple threads to try to make friends. I also don't have a lot of time these days to be active enough on DoA to be able to keep up with threads and what not. Things move VERY fast around here!


      ...and onto BJDs...


      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      My favorite out of my two at the moment has to be Isaac. Not because I don't LOVE my other doll, Ger! It's just that Ger doesn't have his face-up yet... Here's a super quick rundown of Isaac.
      Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ancphotos_/6267064941/in/set-72157627827307181
      Name: Isaac Forest Lynch
      Age: Originally he was supposed to be 17 or so, but Bory just doesn't look that old, so he ended up being more like 14
      Brand/model:
      Luts Kid Delf Boy Bory
      Backstory:
      IN PROGRESS haha
      Personality:
      He is very quiet and at times can be very thoughtful and sweet. He tries to act tough and only sometimes succeeds. He has anger issues sometimes, his tagline is actually "I know he looks cuddly, but underneath all of that cuteness is a little boy ready to punch you in the face." He is often too concerned about what other people think to be outgoing. And last but not least, he likes art and music to the max.

      On companies:
      I do not collect only from one company, I've got one from Luts and one from DF. I love Fairyland, Doll Chateau and Migidoll as well and plan to get a doll or two from those companies as soon as possible. I also love a variety of other dolls from other companies but not necessarily other companies styles themselves besides Luts, FL, DC and Migidoll.

      Current BJD goals:
      Save up for:
      -
      DC Colin
      -FL MF Ruth
      -FL MF Shushu x2 (one on boy body one on girl)
      -FL MF Chloe
      -FL MF Shiwoo
      -FL RP PoPo
      -FL LF Ante
      -Migidoll Ryu head (body for him from ?)

      Other:
      -Get Ger a face-up and manicure(goodness, that just sounds so masculine doesn't it? -.-)!
      -New outfits for Ger and Isaac
      -Laptop for Ger and/or Isaac and whoever the new dolls will be!

      Other again:
      -Get back into the photo-taking-business. I miss taking photos of mah boys! D:

      Do you want to find people who share your fav. dolls or company?
      I suppose it would be cool if we liked the same dolls/companies but it's definitely not a must. Maybe we'd be able to introduce each other to new companies/dolls, that would be just as fun as liking the same styles!

      Additional info about my BJDs:
      This probably doesn't matter but I think I'm going to try to stick to MSDs for the time being, they're smaller and more reasonably priced for the most part which is very helpful seeing as my job only gives me 6 hours a day and it's min. wage! Though I do have a couple SDs that I'm in love with... DARN YOU BEAUTIFUL SCULPTS.

      Other than that there's nothing that I can think of that I want to say here at the moment, I'll ETA if I think of something to add! :)

      Your age range: I'm 21, I can talk to anyone from 16-40. Anyone really. I don't have an age in mind.

      Your location: I'm in Austin Texas. I can talk to anyone from anywhere! I can give anyone in the US or Mexico my phone number. I would love a texting buddy!

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I would love a texting buddy! I can also chat here all the time or via email. I am very fast to respond to texts and email. I do not answer my phone much, there are reasons. Once I get you programmed I will be faster.

      Any "important" information that people should know: I am a very open minded 21 year old bisexual woman with few friends. The friends I do have I hold very close to me and have been in contact with for years. We have argued and come past our differences and loved each other despite them. I'm currently single and open to a relationship with a man or woman either online or not online. I'm liberal minded ad not very political. My religious views are limitless, and the best comparison I have seen is from the book Life of Pi. I have had the privilege of meeting many gods, all very real and powerful and deserving of respect. I smoke and drink and and open to drug use so long as it is not damaging. I have a history of use and abuse so I am able to know the difference. I am healthy now, overcoming a temporary mental disorder caused by trauma and off the harder antidepressants I was prescribed with doctors permission. I can offer advice, I can ad will be your bosom friend if you need me. I can lend a hand as a mentor, friend, confidant, sister and shoulder to cry on. I will never forget you or dismiss you. I will never lie or cheat you. I will always care for you and look for you in love and kindness.
      I do not like trolls or Homestucks, which are different than /b tards or dramatica's or anything else.


      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? Anything! Someone to share photostories with! Someone who also likes controversial doll issues to email about! Another friend who is gay or smokes or loves my little pony and also loves dolls. Someone in the US I can text with or email. I'm expecting a huge shipment of bjd things in the near future that I have ordered that of course takes forever to get here. I am eager to share this with someone! I do not have any friends that share my love of dolls. Whenever I get a new outfit or find a new mold I love I have no where to go. Its a very sad experience. I would love someone to exchange gifts with. I can sew and make jewelry and am always getting things in the mail that do not fit! haha. I love getting things in the mail no matter how trivial. We can have a postcard penpal friendship! And my Bartlebee is lonely, he has no doll friends or has seen another BJD. If there is anyone in the Austin area I can meet you in a public place or we can meet at an event.

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My doll Bartlebee is a combination of a myriad of theological and literary characters that I admire. He was first my muse and the subject of my writing, I have completed a book of short stories and two manga with him as the main character. He has changed in name and form through out the years since his first appearance in 2004 as a red haired demon named Nuntios in my graphic novel Sanctuary. He transformed into Cecil, Nanako, Ajax, Kyan, Leopold, Beatrice, Isabella, and finally came to be known as Bartlebee. His story is that he is the second angel to fall after Lucifer, Beezelbub the first of Lucifers commanders rules over the 3rd ring of hell where the gluttonous reside tortured by Cerberus. Cerberus consumes the damned and ravishes them with his three heads and as he devours them, he passes them inside his body whole again and excretes them into a lake of ice and shit. Beezelbub returns to earth in many forms to enjoy the pleasures of men and corrupt the innocent as well as attempt to reunite with God. Beezelbub remembers being an angel and admires the chaste and children. He is the patron saint of lost children, but also the demon of devouring them. He is both the angel of Charity and the demon of Gluttony. He encompasses both yin and yang, good and evil, and remains neutral to both. He is a Bobobie Soul MSD, his wigs and attire changes and he is not confined to one gender. But the doll never changes.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Personally, I only collect MSD and smaller. I looked at dolls for so long that I forced myself to only admire ones I could conceivably afford. Now larger ones tend to scare and put me off. I still like them, when I find a doll I like and realize they are an SD I am pleasantly surprised. But I will not be purchasing them. They do not fit my style or house. I do not mind other doll owners having them. I am slightly jealous. I do not mind Bartlebee or any of my other dolls being in a relationship with an SD either.

      What's your current BJD goal? I have an army of Dollzone Leo's that I have the money and am waiting for! I only have to open my new bank account because of fraudulent charges on my old one. We had to shut it down. Please be careful! It was through a chines doll site that I cannot specify. I was not attentive enough and they asked for card numbers and passcodes, and then linked me to a fake paypal log in so they had access to that as well. They charged 2000$ to my account and we had to close everything. I am on permanent hold from all purchases at the moment.
      On layway and safe is a Loongsoul Nuanuan and a full wardrobe of HZ Uniforms and clothes at Mint On Card! I have two payments down already. I love Nuanuan's face and body. Her perportions are doll-a-rific and sexy, and I can't wait to have a girl!

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Nope! I want to be introduced to as much new material as possible! I am also not prejudice on what dolls are made of or what company or where. :D

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I can mentor and am looking for a mentor! I have a cocker spaniel named Shadow who is the love of my life. My loves other than dolls are Pokemon, My Little Pony, fashion, smoking, perfumes, gaming, Horror, literature, theology, reading, writing, dogs, rats, bearded dragons, dragons in general, HP Lovecraft, Dante, Whitman, Blake, lots of other poets and writers. Oh my, Ive talked a lot about myself. I hope I don't seem conceited. Im just looking for new friends! I can trade pokemon, mail, manga, gifts and mp3s and movies! I have a hard drive full. I have a lot to offer and am very friendly.

      Your age range: I&#8217;m 19 years old

      Your location: various places, MI (I frequently bounce around between college, home, grandparents, fiancee~ Usually I&#8217;m in the middle of the state)

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I can do PM or Facebook. I really really like IM services like Skype or MSN. Texting is pretty laborious for someone like me ;A; uh I&#8217;d like to do snail mail one day too~ I love getting mail more than any person should

      Any &#8220;important&#8221; information that people should know: I am a very sickly college student, so responses from me can be either long or short depending on my energy levels. I have 3 autoimmune illnesses: Reactive Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Interstitial Cystitis. Each one of them causes me a bunch of pain and fatigue and various stages of feels. ;A; I&#8217;m pretty darn sensitive and have a hard time telling if someone is just joking or genuinely being mean! I will never judge you for your lifestyle or choices and give gentle advice and guidance when asked. I&#8217;m engaged to be married to a lovely young man and I&#8217;m super open-minded. I love manga, anime, cute things, pastel colors, and soft acoustic music. I&#8217;m the human embodiment of a marshmallow?~


      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? My friends IRL have been busy with college, while they are close just different places in life. They&#8217;re also selling off their dolls. I am involved with my Facebook community, but mostly to let everyone know I&#8217;m alive and okay? I&#8217;m usually too sickly to attend meetups or busy with school. I&#8217;d really like someone to share my trial and errors with, my joys, ups and downs. :3~

      and on to BJDs&#8230;

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My favorite doll is my Pukifee Bonnie, Brielle. She&#8217;s based off of someone very special to me, get to know me and I may let you know. She&#8217;s five years old and my baby girl. She&#8217;s spoiled and even has her own room inside of mine. She&#8217;s a tomboy and an otaku and hates girly frilly things and the color pink. She&#8217;s honestly a bit of a weeaboo but that&#8217;s okay ;3 She&#8217;s in Kindergarten and likes to play with other kids, and roughhouses.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Dollfie Dreams are super cool?! I just got one, I adore her too. I love all my girls~:3

      What&#8217;s your current BJD goal? I want to be better at sewing clothing like my mom! Face-ups would also be nice to learn too. I&#8217;m kinda bad but I try real hard!

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Nope not at all~
      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: they&#8217;re all kind of little snippets of my personality, I don&#8217;t really create characters or anything until I started getting the dolls~?

    47. Your preferred nickname: Cat Grenade. Call me Cat. Or Grenade. Or CG. Any of that is fine.

      Your age range: I'm 22 going on 23, but I can talk to anyone.

      Your location:
      Tennessee

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: I can do just about anything! Facebook, IM, Email, and I'd even be up for snail mail. My main IM's are AIM and Skype (which I prefer, in all honesty. IM's are the bees knees). Just drop me a PM if you want any of my info.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      Not really. I'm not a religious person, but I respect beliefs no matter what they are. Not really into politics, and as far as stepping on my toes goes, it's very hard to do if you're not trying. ;)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?
      I find that having people to talk dolls with makes it easier for me to stay on track and keep in touch with the hobby as a whole. There aren't very many meets in my area, and I haven't really been able to make it to conventions as of late. Also? I like making new friends. New friends are always a plus.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? It's hard to decide really, but I suppose I'd have to say my Dollshe Saint Atticus. He was a dream doll, and I honestly didn't think I'd ever get him. But eventually I caved in and said to myself that I was finally going to pinch my pennies, and I did! He's a very quiet character, only speaking when the need arises. He would rather his actions did the talking.
      [​IMG]

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Definitely love Dollshe and Pipos, but as far as specific dolls, I couldn't limit myself. They're all pretty awesome.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I have a few! My temporary hiatus'd goal is sewing better. It's something I want to do, but at the same time my schedule is so hectic it's hard for me to find time. I finally figured out the next doll I want, a Doll Chateau Alberta, but I probably won't be able to start saving 'till summer because of a study abroad trip I'm gathering money for. Last but not least, I'm always striving to be a better doll photographer (well, a better photographer in general really), but that's not really something that has a defined finish line, y'know?

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Nope! Anybody is fine.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      Not that I can think of! If you want to know, just go right on ahead and ask.

    48. Your preferred nickname: Rosslyn is fine.

      Your age range: I am over 25. What you should know up front is that I am an Old Soul. I snark, and I have fits of "Darn Kids Get Off My Lawn" attitude. It's not that I don't like younger people, it's just that I can admit to being an impatient person who's been over 40 since they were 12. I'm pretty experienced at Life for someone my age, but if you're a lot younger I don't mind as long as you're willing to be mature when it counts.

      Your location:
      Utah, USA. I am originally a Californian.

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: Lately I'm doing college courses and moving apts, so let's talk intermittently, like letter writing, via PM.

      Any "important" information that people should know:
      I have many opinions that are extremely unpopular. I am a Christian. I am a Mormon ( A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). If you have something you really want to ask about my faith, I'm happy to answer questions, but I'm not going to preach at you. I can't promise never to mention my faith since it's part of me. I do not hate anyone, I am quite open-minded, and I respect the right of others to live as they see fit. If you think me not agreeing with others makes me a Bigot, that's... well, mostly it's ironic. I can disagree with other people and still love them and be friends with them; I do it all the time.

      I don't like Yaoi/Yuri, or smutty straight "Romance". I think it's overdone and terribly unrealistic. If you're really into it, cheers, but it's not something I'm a big fan of.

      I'd rather avoid politic talk, thanks.

      I am ever so slightly Autistic and I live with Clinical Depression. It's not an excuse, it's part of my life. If you're one of the people who likes to insist people with mental illnesses are faking it to be trendy/lazy/ whatever, I don't think we will get along. My autistic side can make it difficult for me to make friends, and if I seem rude or overly pedantic it is not often intentional. I don't often imply things, but sometimes people get upset if they think I did insinuate a meaning that wasn't there. I'm not like that. if I really do mean to insult someone I don't exactly walk softly... eheheh...

      I missed the Anime/Otaku boat by a few wide miles in High School. I like some manga and a few shows, but my knowledge or interest isn't near as heavy as a majority of the people on this forum, so if you want to squee about a show/manga/doujinshi, I might not know what you're talking about.

      I am an artist and a GEEK. I like fiction writing, swords, Medieval history, costuming, sewing, crafting, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Dungeons and Dragons, many tabletop RPGs and Fantasy in general. I am a wee bit of Grammar Patroller. I am a bit of a feminist when it comes to women portrayed in fantasy: If you think Twilight is good literature or at all romantic, I doubt we can be very good friends. I like writing and I like to work on bettering my own writing, so I'd love to bounce ideas around about plots and character motivations and how to avoid cliche in fantasy writing, and so on.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal?

      I don't have time to go out to meetups, and I have had poor health this last year which means I don't get out much lately. I don't make friends easily; being a geek with slight autism does not do much for your social courage. (I like myself just fine, but finding other people who like me is the really hard part.)
      I'd like to write back and forth a little in a low-speed, low-commitment kinda way, just some chitchat and dolly fun and maybe talk about writing, or geek things. I may not be able to answer quickly or every day.

      I'd love to share crafting talk with other people who like to make things for their dolls, or do mods and aesthetics, or want to learn how to do those things.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      Ooh, favorites- How to choose... Well, I really like my Kevya. He's an original character of mine and is a work in progress sort of doll but I've got him looking reasonably like himself at the moment. I think I want to do more refining on his eyes.
      [​IMG]

      Company and sculpt: IH Barron Mod/Lost Angel Thunder body mod/Dikadoll hands, modded
      Modifications: Extensive body mods, facial mods, finger mods, scar mods
      Kevya is a former arena-fighting slave who was rescued and freed by a Prince named Lir. He has now dedicated his life to Lir's service, acting as his personal bodyguard.


      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?
      I personally like realistic sculpts, but any doll given enough attention and effort can be gorgeous. I'm a fan of Fairyland's tinies and I have a few myself. I love mod work and aesthetics.

      What's your current BJD goal?

      Moving and reorganizing my art studio so I can work on all the craft and dolly stuff more smoothly! It all desperately needs to be reorganized. I also want to do more dolly leatherwork. I've found I really enjoy miniature leatherworking.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      I don't mind. Other people who like to craft for their dolls or shoot doll photography would be fun to talk to.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      My dolls are on my blog, which is in a link in my sig.

    49. Hell, I'll give this a go.

      Your preferred nickname: Rachel, but some people call me Gigi.

      Your age range: Just turned 26.

      Your location: Texas, United States

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: IM via MSN (until it shuts down, anyway) or Skype. Facebook if really necessary.

      Any "important" information that people should know: I'm politically far to the left especially when it comes to social issues, heavily agnostic and MtF trans with a number of friends that span the whole gamut of LGBT. I'm pretty reasonable about these topics and I never really discuss it unless someone else brings it up first so I'm just giving it as a heads up.

      I can also be a bit blunt, foul-mouthed and have a tendency to ramble about topics you may or may not care about. My apologies beforehand.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? To be honest, I've been active in this hobby for several years but never really had a friend that shared a mutual interested in it. I don't attend meet-ups for a number of reasons (my social ineptitude mostly) and while my friends don't mind if I talk their ear off about dolly-related musings, I still hate bothering them with it when they're just not interested in BJDs to the degree I am.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? Currently my Iplehouse SID Soo&#8230; she's the first doll I ever really invested a great deal of time, creativity and emotion in to. As a consequence, she helped me understand the reasoning behind why I love these dolls so much.

      Her name is Hyolyn, she was based off the protagonist of a cyberpunk story I was working on but never got around to finishing out of apathy; it's essentially about a South Korean android designed to be the perfect pop star but is severely damaged in a car accident, destroying her ability to sing.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Iplehouse, Limhwa, Supia to name a few. I'm a big fan of large, realistic girls but there's always exceptions!

      What's your current BJD goal? I'd just like to spend more time with them, I think.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? Doesn't matter. I mean, it's nice if we have similar tastes but too much similarity is kind of boring, don't you agree?

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: I got nothing. Ask me if you think of anything.

    50. Your preferred nickname: Nya, but if you ask me for my real name I&#8217;ll tell you. :P

      Your age range: 21, but I will talk with everyone and anyone.

      Your location: California

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PMs first and then we&#8217;ll go from there.

      Any "important" information that people should know: I&#8217;m not really knowledgeable about internet speak and I prefer not to get into religion and politics. I have a tendency to use emoticons a lot when I write, since I&#8217;m a very expressive and emotional person. I&#8217;m also a very honest person, so you can&#8217;t handle honesty, don&#8217;t bother. ^_^ Other than that, I try to respond as quickly as I can. :)

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? I don&#8217;t have any friends that are in this hobby and my real life friends are getting pretty annoyed about only talking about my bjds. It would also be nice to have someone to bounce off ideas for characters, backstories, and the like with. And I love friends. :)

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      I love all my dolls though. But FemyLyn, my ResinSoul Ya would have to my favorite. She is my first doll and the one whom all my others are connected to in terms of backstory.

      FemyLyn is a 17 year old girl who lives with her brother. She is a leader of a gang that fights for justice. She has boyfriend named Tom and together they steal high school uniforms from other schools.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? Generally I like most dolls, but I would totally love to get a doll from Iplehouse, Ringdoll, and/or Fairyland.

      What's your current BJD goal? As of right now, I&#8217;m trying to make them clothes and improve my face up skills.

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? It doesn&#8217;t matter to me. I enjoy seeing other people&#8217;s point of views in terms of what they like and why they like them. ^_^

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: Not really, but if you have any questions you want to ask me then feel free to PM me. :)

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      I currently only own one doll so it's her for the moment. My new baby that's coming on Saturday may give her a run for her money though. Anyway my current baby is a Luts KDF Kiwi named Eirwen. I don't have much of a backstory for her yet and she's really more of an omg you're so pretty doll.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like?
      I really really love Luts dolls. For years I used to just go to their website and admire all of their dolls. My first doll that is sadly no longer with me (I hate you postal service) was a Luts Shiwoo. I also really like the HS Dolls and would love to own one one day.

      What's your current BJD goal?
      I'm currently working on getting three dolls for the characters in a novel I'm attempting to write. I've bought the first of the three and hope to order the other two next month. I would like to get the one modded and order custom clothing for all of them.

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like? My favorite doll is still my first doll who is a hybrid. Luts 2009 Summer head + AoD body. He's a passionate musician who gets girls smitten with a simple smirk. However, he has a secret.. A sick, psychotic secret.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I collect male dolls mostly. I like 60CM and above sizes most. ^^;;

      What's your current BJD goal?
      Ace doll photography, sew doll stuff, face ups/tattoos... well, a lot of things. XD

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company?
      Not really. As long as you collect dolls, I don't mind.

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share:
      My dolls are pretty on the outside but have a creepy personality. I hope you guys won't mind that. ^^;;

    56. Your preferred nickname: Jen

      Your age range: Just left my 20s days ago... o_o;; Would prefer someone 18 and over

      Your location: California, USA

      Preferred method of chatting or corresponding: PM, AIM, email. Handy smart phone is handy, so I'm always swift with replies pretty much through any of these things lol.

      Any "important" information that people should know: Nothing much. I'm a pretty open minded person, looking for other open-minded people.

      Why are you looking for a BJD penpal? With work sucking up most of my time and lack of transportation from time to time, I hardly ever get to meets, so I love chatting it up online :)

      and on to BJDs...

      Who is your favorite doll, and what are they like?
      My favourite doll is my Crobidoll Ys, Kazuki. He's partially retired for the moment and my Crobidoll Ho-Bin has taken his place as sort of a 2.0 of his character, but I will always love this mold the most ^^ He's gone through a lot in developing his character, but basically he's set in a supernatural setting as hunter.

      Is there a specific type of doll(s) or any companies you really like? I'm reallllly into Crobidoll. If you look at my profile, you'll see that of the 16 dolls I have/am waiting on, 11 are from Crobi xD I'm also getting more into Volks Dollfie Dream.

      What's your current BJD goal? Now that I have all my 'normal' dolls, I want to start practicing modding and faceups again and actually continue on with that kind of work so I can have more quirky dolls. My strives for this year are an albino doll, amputee, and gore-mod (none of which are meant to be offensive in any way, I just have characters like that I want filled into dolls).

      Do you especially want to find other people who share your favorite dolls or company? I'm a pretty open-minded person with dolls of original characters that range from modern-based to fantasy-based, straight and gay, and I like talking with others that are open-minded and have similar ways about their dolls. I don't really have a preference on dolls that anyone should have, though a majority of my dolls are 1/3 scale males so there may be a bit more to talk about there, but I love all sizes and anthros (mostly cats).

      Any additional info about your BJD(s) you want to share: Most of my bjds are in somewhat of a supernatural setting involving vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc. But they also have non-supernatural counterparts for when rping/corresponding with others that don't have their dolls in that kind of setting.
