I want to begin this brand new website with a little backstory. This idea of this meet up was started by talking with my best friend, Deb, about how excited we were to go to the first ever Twific Meetup (TFMU) in Las Vegas. We didn't know anyone besides each other who were as passionate about fic as we were and didn't want to feel like those girls who hang out by the wall of the gym in a middle school dance (we're shy like that with strangers).
And so the idea for putting together a SoCal TFMU group came to be. We created a Facebook group for the event and pimped it out on Twitter as much as we could.
As more people joined, we asked for their input on when and where we should meet. So on May 20th, 2012 in the back of a restaurant, we met thirteen amazing people and closed not only the place down, but the parking lot as well. All of our "to be read list" grew and there might even have been some quiet fangirling going on. It was such an amazing night that Deb and I have decided to do it again in 2013.
This is where you come in. If you live in the Southern California area (basically from Lancaster to San Diego and from Oxnard to San Bernardino) or will be down here in the Spring, we'd like for you to help us decide when this event will take place. To the right of the page there's a poll with several dates that are available to us. Vote! And you get to decide when this meet up will take place. Hope to see you in 2013!
Your Organizers,
Deb & Patty
