What the hell. I made it.

Once (if) it gets more members, I'll start posting themes. Until then, share & enjoy.

I don't know if this is redundant, but I took a cue from [personal profile] old_man_of_hoy, who made a wonderful list of Animanga Communities on Dreamwidth, and made a list of communities on Dreamwidth relating to Japanese and Korean interests over here.

It's on my journal so it'll be easier for me to keep up with and update if need be, but I wanted to share it in the off chance someone finds any use in it.

Have you ever thought "I wish someone would write this fic?" Then [community profile] ficondemand is the place for you!

For all your fanart needs, there is [community profile] artondemand , which is the same thing for fanart. Both comms are places to bring together writers/artists looking for ideas with people offering up ideas/plot bunnies for adoption. :)

We've just started a new comment fic meme!

Comment Fic Meme

Come and join the fun! You might meet other people interested in the same fandoms as you. Small fandoms are welcome!

Hey there

I've been here a while, and thought I ought to drop in and say hi, and give you a few useful links. Mostly related to layouts/themes.

So, you've got this new journal or community and the first thing you want to do is change it's look - make it yours. If you're from Live Journal, things are a little different. But once you get your hands under the hood, so to speak, it can also be fairly easy.

Here are some layout communities that can help you either choose new themes, or fix up your own.

[livejournal.com profile] grrliz runs [community profile] dreamwidthlayouts, a place where designers can submit new designs that override Dreamwidth's current layouts/themes. That's the most active community.

Then in the help section, there's [community profile] stylemakers, begun by [profile] 900degress to aid designers with their work, and to provide resources. Check it out. As well, there is [community profile] the_style_kit where you can obtain a working copy of Tabula Rasa so you can work offline while you design. [community profile] style_system is an official community to discuss the style system, as well as to to give tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your journal. Don't just look at the first few entries of all these communities - check them out fully.

[personal profile] stepps has a great list of links here, if you are so inclined. In includes communities you may want to check out, divided by use and interest. The WIKI is also a rich source of information, including lists of communities that have been added to Dreamwidth. [personal profile] zvi wrote a HOWTO use the styles wizard, but that may or may not already be in the FAQ already. Don't be afraid of the FAQ. It has been totally re-written from the ground up to make sense. Check it out and find out for yourself.

Aaaand: The Delicious Dreamwidth Tag is a great way to keep track of what people are, well, keeping track of.

Finally: Have fun, and tinker with your journal/communities. All styles are fully customizable with CSS and through the wizard.

I know, fandom's a lot of fun.  But Dreamwidth isn't only about fandom!  So let's spread some love.  Here are my favorite non-fannish DW communities--comment with yours!

[site community profile] dw_nifty : all the cool features about Dreamwidth that you might not otherwise find out about.

[community profile] fucking_meds : a place for people to complain (and share information about) meds they're on.
[community profile] actyourwage : so, we're all feeling the pinch, right?  This is a place to share hints on how to live within a budget.  It's about taking control of your finances and strategies for money saving and getting out of debt
[community profile] asperger 
[community profile] homeeconomics101 : Tips and tricks regarding cleaning/budgeting/cooking...
[community profile] napowrimo : the DW com for National Poetry Writing Month.  Dead for now, but wait until next April.
[community profile] poetry : A community for sharing published poetry.  (I.e. your favorite stuff to read that you'd like to share, not stuff you wrote yourself.  Though I'm sure there's a com out there for poetry writing, too.)

Some of these are kind of quiet, but that may change with the influx of new people.  What about you guys?

Hi *waves*

So after following the 10,000 + comments over on LJ News and LJ Releases I thought I'd head over here and see about makin' friends.

This username [personal profile] lexusnexus  is one of my 2 new DW accounts.  This one is for private personal posts (nice alliteration, huh?)  and my other one is for fandom rants and fanfic.  Most of it is set to private until I find out where I can post stuff.

So can any of you fine people tell me where would be a good place to start posting my fanfics, or find other members of my fandom?

Oh, should probably mention my Fandom is SPN and J2 in all thier slashy glory.  *G*

Thank ya much!

Hey all,

Does anyone know of any good panfandom games yet here on DW? Or any writing communities/prompt communities that are active for fandom? I'm feeling a little lost, and it's why I hang onto LJ - it has such a great RP core that unless that suddenly happens here, I'll never be rid of LJ.

I'd love to start things, but there's just no way I have the time.

Hi guys,

I'd like to promote two communities I maintain on DW:

-- [community profile] fandomcalendar which I think could be of interest to many of you. This is a community where you can promote fannish challenges and events such as ficathons or porn battles (on DW, LJ, IJ, AO3, etc.) If you hear about one, why not take a few minutes to mention it and have your fandom represented? I also compile everything we've gotten every month so that you can find things to sign up for or read.

-- [community profile] onesongaday where you can link to good music. Doesn't matter the genre or year. Just share.

I also watch two communities which could also use more posters:

-- [community profile] happymaking where you can share all the little things which have made you happy recently. Who knows? It could make readers happy too.

-- [community profile] dear_you You know all the letters you've composed in your head? Why not write them and share them? The person they're addressed to might not ever read it but sometimes, getting it all out and knowing someone has read it is meaningful enough.

Last but not least, welcome to Dreamwidth!

I think the biggest thing that most people fleeing LJ are looking for on DW is an equal fandom presence, or at least a place to start looking. A place to pimp out comms that are created to try and replace the LJ ones.

Any ideas, fellow refugees?

Edit: Holy crap you all are fantastic!!! :D

Hey there, fellow LJ refugees!

[personal profile] chasethecloudsaway and I are thinking of starting a Discworld fan community, and we were wondering how many people would be interested in joining/helping out. I've met quite a few Discworld fans via various DW friending memes, and a lot of them seem pretty sad that there's no central fan comm for them to meet other fans, hang out, squee together, share fanworks and so on. I would be happy to start one up, as would [personal profile] chasethecloudsaway, but there's no point if we don't have any interested people.

So, what do you think? Is this something you'd be interested in, or do you know people who'd be interested in it? Please let us know. :)

ETA: It seems as though there's a high interest level after all! I think we'll go ahead and make the comm - once we figure out a name for it, of course.

of course.

They are [community profile] entp's!

So join the comm for related discussion!

 In the spirit of amping up community activity here at DW, I thought it would be a good idea to have a regular community promotion post.

Any community looking for new members is welcome to promote here, whether it's new to DW or is just looking for some new faces. 

Additionally, feel free to mention any communities that you come across which seem interesting.

ETA: New DW users might be interested in the "Latest Things" page, where you can see what people have been posting about lately. Who knows? Maybe one of your interests will show up there and lead you to a community or a like-minded user!
