Western Meet and Greet

[ysabetwordsmith]

Lots 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 Westerns Bingo Fest.


Name: Whatever you wish to be known by.
Western Persona: If you were a Western character, who would you be?
Find Me At: Your other blogs, services, or venues.

What I Love About Westerns: Favorite motifs, traditions, decor, stories, etc.
What I Hate About Westerns: Things you wish would go away. Die, trope, die!
My Favorite Western Canons: List the movies, television shows, songs, books etc. that you love.
Where My People Came From: Where were your ancestors during roughly 1800-1912?
Where I Have Been: Western places you have visited, including themed events or museums.
What I Have Done: Have you ever panned for gold, ridden a horse, cooked over a campfire, or done other Western activities?

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 Western 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.
