Community Rec Post

Come rec your favorite DW communities! For those of us who are either new to DW or looking around for more comms to join, let us know you're out there and awesome. Admins/mods, go ahead and pimp your stuff!

I've divided it up onto categories so people can more easily find what they like:

Fandom
Fandom: General
Fandom: Video Games
Fandom: Movies
Fandom: TV
Fandom: Books
Fandom: Animanga
Fandom: Western Comics
Fandom: Webcomics
Fandom: Celebrities/RPF
Fandom: Music
Fandom: Specific Genre
Fandom: Roleplay (original character RP goes here, too - "RP" as the fandom)

Other-Than-Fandom
OTF: General
OTF: Layouts, Icons, Etc
OTF: Writing & Art

For example:

lj_refugees would go in "OTF: General."

roleplaysecrets would go in "Fandom: Roleplay."

science_fiction would go in "Fandom: Specific Genre."

fanlore would go in "Fandom: General."
Comms about Game of Thrones/ASOIAF could go in both "Fandom: Books" and "Fandom: TV."
Comms about Zutara would go in TV; Sansan would go in Books and TV like GoT/ASOIAF.

Copy/edit/paste the text in the box below into the appropriate thread! (Optional, but some sort of description would help.)

(Note: This is communities only. There will be a friending meme for personal LJs on Friday!)
