a new community for readers!

[telesilla]

a_reader_is_me is a reading challenge community similar to 52 Books in 52 Weeks or the Cannonball Read, but with one major difference. In this challenge, you set your own goals and then it's up to you to meet them.

In a nutshell, you get to pick how many books you want to read, how much time you want to take to read them, and what defines "book" for the purposes of your goal. You'll keep track of your progress by posting about each book you've read on the community. Hopefully, we'll all do our best to encourage one another and it will be a fun time for all.

The details are here

MBTI - INTP community

[dracodraconis]

intp  is a community for INTPs and the people who want to understand them. This community is open to all and discussion is welcome and encouraged. The moderator was briefly a moderator for a similar community on LJ. We're currently looking for a co-moderator so let me know if you are interested in helping to get this community going.

Permaculture, anyone?

[loligo]

permaculture is for anyone interested in sustainable food & sustainable agriculture. Beyond being simply organic, truly sustainable food production mimics the patterns and connections found in nature to create self-sustaining systems. In other words, beautiful, productive gardens requiring very little maintenance! Woot!

Maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit in promoting the community now, when I won't have time to write the first substantial post until the weekend ("Why Edible Forest Gardens Is The Best $100 I Ever Spent On Books") -- so maybe you can beat me to it. *g*

sonnets

[marnanel]

I've made a community sonnets for posting and discussing sonnets-- your own, rather than other people's.

Climbing community

[rydra_wong]

disobey_gravity is a comm for climbers of all sorts (indoors, outdoors, sport, trad, bouldering) and for anyone who's interested in climbing.

It's intended to be newbie-friendly and laid back, and, in the words of the mod, "a place to hang out and talk about climbing during those unfortunate periods when you can't actually be climbing."

Tai chi

[feuervogel]

taichi for anyone who plays or wants to learn more about tai chi/taiji.

Age of Sail community

[damned_colonial]

I've created a community, age_of_sail, for fandoms set during the Age of Sail, i.e. 18th-19th century. We're mostly into seafaring fandoms like Hornblower, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Master and Commander, but we also like land-based fandoms of the same period (Jane Austen, Sharpe, Georgette Heyer), fantasy/speculative fiction set during that era (eg. Temeraire), and historical RPF from that period.

When Open Beta hits us on April 30th, age_of_sail will be celebrating in style with a bunch of activities like AoS fandom pimping, recs, and new fanfic/art/vids. Please join us and sign up for as many of the activities as you're interested in, or just subscribe and watch the fun.

perl

[marnanel]

perl!

For discussion of and in, and questions about, the terse and beautiful language of Perl. Beginners and experts both welcome.

Lacework Community

[moniqueleigh]

tatting is a community dedicated to the lace form of tatting. I'm one of the mods over at tatting and so decided to go ahead and form a home for us over here -- or anybody else interested.
