allbingoLots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth. While researching community activities, I came across the idea of thematic meet and greet events. That seemed like something which might work here, given a membership of several hundred people and a new theme each month. So I made one for this month's theme. It gives people a place to meet folks with similar interests, and to squee about the current theme.
Here is the basic outline. Fill in as much or as little of it as you wish, depending on your interests as they relate to the Gothic Bingo Fest.
Name: Whatever you wish to be known by.
Sex/Gender Identity: Share any descriptions you wish people to know about you, including pronouns.
Find Me At: Your other blogs, services, or venues.
What I Love About Gothic Entertainment: Favorite authors, activities, traditions, decorations, tropes, etc.
What I Hate About Gothic Entertainment: Things you wish would go away, in real life or entertainment. Die, trope, die!
Most Favorite Addams Family Iteration(s): Do you like the classic single-panel cartoons, the original television show, the movies, or the new Wednesday series?
Most Favorite Other Gothic Content: Classic novels, paranormal television shows, scary movies, or what?
Headcanons: What spooky little extras do you add to your favorite canons?
Gothic Things I Love To Do Myself: Walk on a foggy day, keep a black cat, wear period clothes or jewelry, make macabre art, whatever.
Favorite Gothic Holidays: Halloween, Samhain, Dia de los Muertos, or ...?
Gothic Places I Have Visited: Caves, castles, abandoned buildings, graveyards, anything with gargoyles, etc.
Favorite Blogs or Communities: Anything on Dreamwidth, or other venues, relating to the above topics.
About My Blog: A general description of your blog metaphor, what your blog contains, common formats / media, activity level, typical rating level, featured fandom(s) or original work, etc.
What I Create: Anything you make that relates to the Gothic theme or above topics; fandoms, formats, recurring motifs, and so forth.
What I'm Looking For: Things you would like to get from this activity; readers, comments, recommendations of fandoms or fanworks, new friends, wider representation of something, etc.
Feel free to copy this Meet and Greet into your blog as well as filling it out here -- you may catch some additional traffic.
