Dreamwidth offers a place to post pretty much whatever people want to share. However, a lot of creators put their stories, webcomics, etc. on some other platform and only share links on Dreamwidth. The same holds true for the recommendation communities for fiction and other topics: most rely on links that lead offsite. The problem with this is that more and more platforms are closing to nonmembers, becoming unavailable in some parts of the world, incompatible with some software or hardware, suffering service outages -- or shutting down entirely like Cohost did. That makes offsite links less useful than in the past, because there's no telling who can see the content or not. When creators post the full content on Dreamwidth in an open blog, however, anyone already using Dreamwidth can access that content. (Creators still have the option of using access lists and filters if they want to serve a more specific audience.) Furthermore, copying the material to multiple platforms increases the chance of more people seeing it and of it surviving if one platform collapses. We've lost enough fanwork archives already.

A signup post over at [community profile] goals_on_dw  provides a place to list communities and individual blogs where people post full content. It will help readers find new sources to enjoy, and creators find new audience members. It supports goals related to blogging, reading, writing, networking, Dreamwidth, and so on. It's a bit like Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, except not limited in time and you can echo your work on other platforms in addition to this one. MOAR GOODEEZ for everyone! \o/

You can pick whichever challenge(s) you want to set as a goal in 2026 and reply with a comment. The post includes a list of sample full-content journals and a short form for listing what you have chosen. You can make a post in your blog like "I signed up for the Full Content on Dreamwidth challenge in [community profile] goals_on_dw" or similar. Then make a tag for it like "Full Content" and put that on the post; it should stick that way. Check your Interests page to see if you have Writing, Fiction, Science Fiction, Fanfic, Webcomics, etc. listed there, which helps people find you. You don't have to sign up to participate, it just helps spread the word and attract more readers.

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.

The Western Bingo Fest will run from July 1-31. The theme is Westerns and it spans a wide range of subgenres and time periods. Bring out your favorite Wild West fandoms, or contemporary west, or spaghetti western SF ... whatever shines your buckle. Prompt lists include Animals, Characters, Famous Westerns, Motifs, Plots, Quotes, Settings, Songs, and Subgenres. There is a 3x3 card for each prompt list plus a 5x5 mixed card. You can also make your own. See the Western Meet and Greet.

Also on the Bingo Card Generator:
Robert Plutchik's 1980 list of emotions
Color words by Guinevak
Death
Desperate Situations
H/C Bingo (multiple rounds)
Music
Time Periods

* These bingo patterns are relevant to this fest.
-- Camping
-- Horse
-- Nature

* Challenges! These are prompts that make the bingo card more exciting. You can add them to any category, or skip them, as you choose. They do let you claim multiple fills from one work.

=Frontier= match nearest border square with prompt from its opposite border,
=Fastest Gun= write adjacent prompt in 60 minutes or less,
=Long Road= double the fill size of adjacent prompt,
=Ride 'em Cowboy= whole line stuffed into one big fill,
=Waterholes= any 5 prompts make a bingo,

Happy Pride Month! Pride Bingo Fest will run from June 1st to 30th. This is my first time hosting, so please forgive any goofs. ๐Ÿ˜…

For the sake of max inclusion (and honestly, because I'm kind of a pride flag/identity nerd) I've made three seperate lists - one each for a broad mix of identities, one for aspec (asexual spectrum, aromantic spectrum, etc) terms, and one for general pride experiences and themes. There's a community card for each list and one mixed. Since ace and aro term defintiions tend to be the same save being applied to different types of attraction, I've paired them together. Feel free to use either or both.

If you need more info on anything, LGBTQIA+ Wiki is a great source. I'm no graphic artist, but I'll do my best to make some little banners for people who finish.

As a reminder, here's the bingo card generator, and here's the allbingo AO3 collection.

Have fun! ๐Ÿณ๏ธ‍๐ŸŒˆ

What's your favorite color? Whether blue, green, or pink, here are a ton of phrases with colors to inspire you. The Color Fest will run from May 1st to 31st, but like all AllBingo events, the end of the event doesn't mean the end of the fun. You can keep creating as long as you want.

These are inspired by some of the prompt lists on [community profile] rainbowlists. RainbowLists and RainbowFic are communities for original work (art, fic, etc) using prompt lists named after colors (for a very loose definition of "color" and "name").

Remember, you have lots of choices for how you use your bingo card: besides fiction, you can use prompts as inspiration for non-fiction, art, icons, videos, blog posts, crafts, meta, or anything else you can think of.

I'll make banners for anybody that gets a bingo or more! (you may have to remind me). Please add a comment on this post once you've earned a banner.

If you want to make a card of your own, here's the Bingo card generator and there's an AllBingo AO3 collection.

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth is a celebration of the platform's anniversary, running April 25-May 15. During this time, people post content only visible on Dreamwidth (although it can be reposted elsewhere after the event ends). There's usually a flurry of activity as bloggers share anchor posts, new fiction, icons, banners, questionnaires, friending fests, memes, and other goodies. Community hosts often hold special activities in their communities too. Watch your reading page for more festivities.  

Are you posting about creative bingo or related activities (e.g. prompt lists, tables)? You can crosspost those entries here. Are you doing anything for Three Weeks in your blog or other community? Post a comment about that to attract more readers. Follow the Threeweeks feed. See my 2024 Questionnaire and a list of other thematic questionnaires.

Announcing the May Trope Mayhem Prompt List for 2025!

May Trope Mayhem is a multi-fandom/original creation event open to writers, artists, and creators of all kinds! Our creators have shared their favorite tropes, and we’ve put together a list of 31, one per day through the month of May. We encourage creators to join us for this month of fun tropey mayhem.
Our goal is to promote motivation and help with habit building, so we’re encouraging authors to keep their ficlets under 1,000 words, artists to stick to making just a sketch, gif makers to only do a single image, etc., as applicable to whatever you’re making.

In the United States, all works first published in 1929 and sound recordings from 1924 are now available for adaption, performance, and copying. This means that everything published in the 1920s in now public domain. This includes the first Mickey Mouse talkies, the original versions of Popey, Winnie the Pooh, and Tintin.

In other parts of the world, coming into the public domain are works by people who died in 1954, for countries with a copyright term of “life plus 70 years” (e.g. UK, Russia, most of EU and South America); and works by people who died in 1974, for countries with a term of “life plus 50 years” (e.g. New Zealand, and most of Africa and Asia).

This fest will run from January 1-31 and I'll provide 3x3 public cards to get y'all started.
