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.)

Re: Fandom: General

[beatrice_otter]

bunny_support and prospectus are both coms for putting plot bunnies/WIPs up for anyone to grab. A good place to go if you either have ideas for fics you know you won't write, or want a prompt to get the creative juices going.

crossovers

dark_agenda for promoting fanworks with characters of color as the focus, or from source material created by people of color. Or both.

daysofawesome--A Jewish Characters Ficathon, run every year during the Days of Awe.
purimgifts--a ficathon for the Jewish festival of Purim. Since Purim is the ultimate Jewish women power holiday, ficlets should be focused around one or more of the following: characters who are Jewish and/or characters who are women and/or characters who are persecuted by evil viziers.

fandom_fanvids--vids from any fandom

fandomcalendar--a newsletter for announcing Things, particularly ficathons, festivals, etc. THE place to go to find out what you can participate in and when.

hooked_on_heroines--This is a place to discuss women you're writing, women originally written by others who you're writing now (AKA, writing canon characters in fic), and writing women in general.
shes_awesome--Just about anything pertaining to awesome women is welcome here be it fic, icons, fanart, fanmixes, picspams, meta, CAPSLOCK SQUEE!!!, angry rants, fuck you she's awesome lists, and anything else you can think of. As long as it's about awesome women, you're good to go.

multific hosts several multi-fandom fanfic events (finishathon, etc)
