Places here to check out

Here are some comms I am in. Feel free to comment with existing DW comms to recc!

* Fancake - Weekly themed fic recs.

* Fandom Weekly - Weekly short fic challenges

* ONTD Creepy - The DW spin off of the Creepy spin off of ONTD. They've recently jumped to DW from LJ and still have weekly FFAs. If you like horror and/or creepy stuff, join us for FFAs on Saturdays or make individual posts yourself.

* Buckaroo Banzai - Of course I am recreating my comm for an obscure 80s cult classic. I'll run it whether or not it gets an audience, because I can treat it like a wiki. I also may be doing a big project that will make use of such info, and it's a good place to collect it. (I've not done set up on it at all yet, I just made it so I could link it.)

Comms to check out later:

* My favorite comm around here is Get Your Words Out. It's writer's support and discussion group with regular Word Wars, but they only open membership around the end of the year. It functions as year long challenge and the format works, even if it makes it hard to recc ;)

* Fandom Stockings - I love this comm. Around the holidays they hang 'stockings' for people so they can be filled with reccs, doodles, short fic, etc. It's a clever idea that makes good use of the way this site works. You can contribute with creative stuff or with non-creative stuff. It's no-stress feel-good fun. I am currently doing daily doodles so I can do more for the next round.

I mod two writing challenges - [community profile] porn_tree (which, despite the name, is NOT just for NSFW stuff) and [community profile] 12months_challenge. Do feel free to pop by!

A few things that might be of interest - first, the last Dreamwidth news post, which was mostly aimed at new users coming over to the site from LiveJournal after their latest issues. It includes a brief history of the site and the comments include people looking to make connections, and community recommendations.

My favourite comms include [community profile] common_nature for posting pictures of the natural world

[community profile] fandom_icons - because you can never have too many icons.

And for Doctor Who fans, there's the [community profile] gallifrey_times, a newsletter of links to Doctor Who reviews, articles and fanworks.
