Welcome!

Since we seem to be getting another wave of new folks, I thought it might be a good time for a new "Hi, glad to see you!" post.

Welcome to Dreamwidth, pull up a chair, what's your pleasure? *passes around the cookies comms*

So, anime and manga fans may like to check out anime_manga, which is a lovely community for all things having to do with any anime or manga series. Fic, art, reviews, meta, anything can go there. I started out thinking the individual series-comms would be where the action is at, but those seem to be pretty slow over here. There's a lot more action on individual journals, and anime_manga is just about the only place I've seen that action come together. I like it a lot, and I hadn't expected to enjoy a general comm so much!

Another lively comm is fucking_meds. Have you ever been given medication and found it doing something weird? Had to deal with side effects of mixing meds? Just wanted to write a love or hate letter to your antibiotics? This is the place to do it. Great moral support and often funny.

For a little sparkle for your journal, in manageable lots, you might check out smallbatchicons.

If you like prompts for your journal entries, you may like thefridayfive, which posts five questions on a given theme each Friday.

And if you want femslash, I can tell you that girlgay is a wonderfully active but not overwhelming comm.

Of course, if you want to keep following someone from elsewhere who posts unlocked, there are always feeds. I personally get a lot of entertainment out of ursulav_feed.

I'm very happy that you like it at anime_manga. *g*

*hearts* Huge active fandoms are nice, but I really like being able to see lots of other series as they go past.

Hey! I am not new, but wanted to say thanks for pointing out the ursulav feed! I am such a fangirl for her art and her comic! (I, uh, wrote Bighorn Pear fanfic for Yuletide. ...On second thought maybe I should avoid official feeds? Heh.)

My pleasure! She was one of the first feeds I made when I came over, for the cat stories if nothing else.
