Horses are good company -- The Witcher

Wow! A DW user randomly gave me six months of paid time under the sponsor-a-free user program! This is so great! I got my icons back and can post polls!

I did a fairly brutal trim of my subscription list. This does not mean we are not friends, yadda etc. It's always amnesty day around here: to paraphrase someone else I read (auburn?), this is not bad magazine subscription you're stuck with.

Also, DW invite codes! I gave most of mine away at dw_codesharing. You can too!

Hello and welcome, new Dreamwidth users!

Here are some people and communities I recommend following. I try to only include personal journals with public content in Follow Friday.

boilingwater: for beginner cooks

shutterspeed: photography prompts and cool photos

metafandom: links to interesting conversations in fandom

scansdaily: the old comm that got deleted off LJ! Scans of comic books and manga for girl geeks (and everyone).

dark_agenda: a comm for promoting characters of color in fanworks.

kink_bingo: A very active fandom challenge for kinky fanworks. NSFW.

disability: general disability topics.

queer_rage: What it says on the tin.

style_salon: a great comm for discussing fashion and personal style. I love this comm and wish more people posted and hung out there!

thingswithwings: fannish squee, fannish meta, vid talk, thinky posts, a variety of interesting topics.

rydra_wong: links, fandom, links, stuff of interest.


Follow Friday Feed has all posts tagged with "follow friday" or "followfriday" in a 5 minute delay.

These recs were just off the top of my head! There are so many great things at DW. :D

eta bechdel_test: discussing movies through the lens of the Bechdel test.

Take 'em if you want 'em

If you are maintaining two reading lists, you may as well read me at Dreamwidth. I am planning to add content here for the Anniversary Festival. Invite codes can be found at dw_codesharing. Large batches of invite codes (for communities or RP groups) can be had by contacting denise or mark.

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die". Just introduce us to some new things to read.

rydra_wong: links and all kinds of interesting content about DW, fandom, books, feminism and anti-oppression.

coffeeandink: book reviews, antiracism, meta about TV and other topics of fannish and SF/F interest

the_future_modernes: anti-racism and anti-oppression content, youtube clips, music.

All Follow Friday posts that are tagged show up here:

Highlighting Interesting content on Dreamwidth since 2009!

dira: (D. Sudis) is an awesome fanfic writer in several fandoms, recently posted polls about who had the worst fanon childhood, and wrote an excellent post on fanfic and the suppression of women's writing.

kuwdora: is a vidder, likes Heroes (but is mad at it), is interested in politics, and wrote extensively about Iranian politics during the revolt.

toft: writes excellent fic in several fandoms (currently MythBusters RPF) and blogs about how history is awesome.

eruthros: I have really appreciated her posts lately on ableism. She writes about being a mod of kink_bingo, meta-fannish topics, and other interesting things such as politics and language.

holmes_watson: For Holmes/Watson fic!

bechdel_test: Passing and Failing movies on the basis of whether or not women speak to each other (about something other than a man) during the course of the movie.
