Snowflake Challenge Day 5

[meridian_rose]

Day 5 - Promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

I'll rec
1) some resources great for making the most of Dreamwidth
Community Promo (for finding new comms or promoting your comms)
dw_community_promo http://dw-community-promo.dreamwidth.org/

Fandom Calendar (for finding fannish events, comms, bingo/fests/exchanges)
fandomcalendar https://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org

Fandom on DW (as above)
fandom_on_dw https://fandom-on-dw.dreamwidth.org/

These can help you find communities and events including writing opportunities like yuletide, therealljidol, 3 sentence ficathon and of course snowflake_challenge.

2) some of my favourite writing communities
Hurt/Comfort bingo – my first and favourite bingo comm, now on DW. Get a card, make fills, claim bingo.
hc_bingo https://trope-bingo.dreamwidth.org

Trope bingo – currently signing up for amnesty round, round 12 under new mod.
trope_bingo https://trope-bingo.dreamwidth.org

Allbingo – not only does allbingo have themed months but you can always post your own bingos here. Finished hc-bingo? Missed deadline on trope bingo but have now completed a line? Want to make a card from a site you miss, like kink bingo? Well go ahead and post here!
allbingo https://allbingo.dreamwidth.org/

3) I love landcomms. I still miss whedonland and legendland.
I don't know if gameofcards will be back soon, but I'm currently involved with superhero_land and enjoying it (check it out, and if you decide to join, tell them I sent you :) )

eta: this amazing round up of links to get your started at DW and find content thanks to saxonvoter :)
and I forgot smallfandombang though maybe that's because I'm so behind on my current entry ;)

Thanks for these! I had never even heard of landcomms until this - I had to look them up in fanlore to see what they even are! I'm so excited to have learned something totally new to me!

[meridian_rose]

You're welcome :) Thanks for reading! I think whedonland was the first landcomm and sadly they're less popular now, but there are still some around :)

thanks for this post it's a great resource. I can't believe I missed some bingoes.

[meridian_rose]

Glad you found something useful amongst the links :) Bingo comms are responsible for me writing or at least finishing and posting a lot more than I otherwise would!
