Things to Follow!
Sep. 6th, 2010 09:17 pmI like the idea of Follow Fridays, but Fridays are kind of the worst day of the week for me to be thinking about/following new DW users/comms.
So I'm doing my own recommendations for things to follow on Dreamwidth! On a Monday!
There are a lot of places I like to hang out and read posts at Dreamwidth, but I've purposely tried to pick things that not everyone and their mom recommends.
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thewalk - My best friend's public account. Short entries (never longer than the length of my hand, palm to fingertip) about life in Japan. These are often posts about the walk to/from work, but also focus on cultural differences between Japan and the U.S., being an ALT, etc.
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sailormoon - For discussion of all versions of Sailor Moon (manga, anime, musicals, PGSM, etc.)
manga - Sharing and discussion of
snarp - Hilarious, snark, talk of manga, book reviews. Lately there have been a few translations of blog posts written by manga-ka; most interesting to me, Kaoru Mori (Emma).
Communities I Wish Had More Activity (Note to self: You can post, too!)
girlycon - From the Community Profile: Simply posting about books is great but here's the concept behind holding an instance of GirlyCon. Have a sleepover, a party, an evening get together, a weekend retreat at your house and invite a bunch of people. Do readings out loud of various girls' books and then have discussions. Do weird craft projects, write fic, have quiet reading time, and swap books. Or whatever! Then write it up and post about it and cross-post here.
At some point we could have a bigger con, but the central idea is that girlycon is everywhere and anytime - just declare it's happening, host it, and write it up. Tag whatever you produce with girlycon or #girlycon.
It is my secret dream to be a part of a GirlyCon in My Town.
fresh_haul - Post excitedly when you get stuff from the Farmer's Market, your CSA, or etc.
post_apocalypse - for posts about books/movies/etc. that take place in post-apocalyptic worlds
