Going like hotcakes

I have just divested my invite codes on dw_codesharing, and I think they went in about five minutes. If anyone has lingering codes to share, now is the time to do it.

And I feel triumphant because I actually wrote fic again! It's been /months/ since I wrote.

...apropos of which, since I'm stuck home sick today anyway, gimme prompts! KHR is the surest bet, but who knows what else might grab me? Go for it.

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.

Also, if you are annoyed by the fancy new alert and dialog boxes, and want the system-style boxes back:

Open a tab and type about:config. In the search box at the top, type "modal". This will give you the option "prompts.tab_modal.enabled". Click on it twice to change the value to "false".

Voila! You have, in my case, the pretty mac-style dialog boxes back.
