Hello! I saw your post on Tumblr, as well as the Dreamwidth Primer you reblogged, and it inspired me to come out of my lurk cave. I never got into Livejournal, mainly because I didn't know about it until like, the late 2010s. But Dreamwidth seems like a pretty chill, low pressure kind of site. I'm too intimidated by sites like Twitter and Tumblr haha. The focus on conversation that DW seems to prioritize also makes it appealing. I often don't give my words much credit, but I do surprise myself quite a bit with how much I can talk when I allow myself to.
There's a lot of cool fandom events on DW, but I always seem to find them after they've already started or just after they're over :( I've had the passing thought of starting a fandom event for an obscure fandom, if only just to see what would happen. Liveblogging also seems to be fairly popular on DW, and that's something that's always interested me. I amuse myself a lot with the things I say and think while consuming media, and it'd be nice to amuse others with that as well, or at least have a place to keep them for future reference.
Anyway, I also want to quickly say thank you for all that you do for fandom. Your blog has helped me through a lot of tough times with writing, and honestly, with life in general. High hopes to all!
Hi! If you use Discord, there's this server called Exchanges After Dark, for a lot of exchanges that happen on DW. A lot of the mods themselves participate in the server, and it's a good way to keep yourself updated and not miss sign-ups! If you're interested (the server is marked as NSFW and for 18+ only), the invite is this: https://discord.gg/7VSEuV9
You can always join, take a look around, and leave if you don't like it :]
Thank you for the suggestion ^_^ I'm usually hesitant to try out Discord servers because it activates the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known (at least for me), but I'll be sure to check it out when I'm able! Is it just NSFW? I don't really write NSFW... on this account :3 But I am over 18, so either way, being able to get Discord notifications of any cool events sounds nice. Thank you again :D
Yeah, it took me a while to get used to chatting in such a public setting, and now I mostly use it to talk to friends on DMs; servers are more a way to keep myself in the loop of things. The server is not just NFSW, but the rules state that you must accept that NSFW subjects might crop up in conversation in almost any channel. From the rules: "By joining this server, you're opting in to a Choose Not to Warn, NSFW-friendly discussion space."
If you decide to join, feel free to ping me there if you wanna talk :]
That all sounds fine to me. I'm currently dealing with some mildly annoying real-life stuff, but once I get back from that, I'll go ahead and check it out ^_^
hii! thanks for joining me over here :D I have no idea what this space will turn into, but I think there's a solid group of us that want to hang out and that's a great place to start :D
