May. 4th, 2009 01:49 amjamieThere have been a few questions about tags are used in the community, so I'm going to try and give a general definition of the tags that exist so they can be helpful to everyone. Please do remember to use tags as that is one of the easiest ways for people to find your community later.
First up, please use ~needs_tags if you are sure that one of the existing tags doesn't work. Also please include a line in your post about what kind of tag you might think you need (so I don't have to completely guess). Keep in mind that tags are supposed to be fairly broad categories. I want to keep the tags list manageable.
Some of the tags I have not defined because the name itself seems to define it, if you have any questions please do comment and I'll amend the post!
* academic
* accessibility
* admin - admin and moderator posts
* adult_content -adult issues (this does not just mean sexual topics)
* animals
* books
* cooking
* crafting - handcrafts
* culture -
* dreamwidth_specific
Since fandom is so large and crosses so many things, I've made tags for each source. So for a tv show, please use the tag fandom_tv. If the fandom is in more than one source (for example X-Men is a comic and a film) then use all the tags that apply.
* fandom_actor
* fandom_anime
* fandom_book
* fandom_comic
* fandom_film
* fandom_game
* fandom_general
* fandom_manga
* fandom_movie
* fandom_music
* fandom_tv
* games
* hobby
* humor
* locality - for communities based around a physical real world location
* medical
* meme - all different kinds of memes
* misc
* music
* psychology
* religion
* sports
* tech
* trans
* writing
* ~needs_tags

cassieretro_tv is a multi fandom community for people to discuss, share fic and artwork and generally squee over English speaking cult tv shows that have been out of production for at least 5 years. Shows are not limited to only those in the interests - they are just the ones that spring to mind at 3am, lol. This community is intended to be a tolerant and fun place for fans to share their love for shows we have loved but thanks to fandom never lost.Fibromyalgia
May. 4th, 2009 07:20 amhatmanfibro is all about fibromyalgia. Patients, family, friends, medical personnel, and anyone else affected by the syndrome (directly or otherwise) are welcome. Sympathy and support, questions and answers, general discussion, etc. Bit of a rocky start, as I wasn't entirely sure of the comm's purpose, but a few people have spoken up to say that it does have a distinct use from
fibro_life. I'm hoping the community will develop as new people come in.Just a few.

May. 4th, 2009 09:37 amcharmianDo you like owls? Do you like seeing pictures of owls? Or watching videos of owls? If so, you may be interested in world_of_wol. (Check out the comm, there are some entries already)
Like the profile says, it's a comm for posting neat owl pics and vids you've found on the net (or made yourself, should you happen to IRL encounter any neat owls).
[note to mods: I wasn't able to tag this as "animals"]

May. 4th, 2009 12:08 pmsunfellJust launched: disaster_preparedness. Still building, but will welcome links, articles, advice, stories, and definitely new members. This community is meant to assist people in preparing for real-world disasters. It's meant to bolster community and cooperation, not advocate the compound-in-the-boonies mindset.
I also have a somewhat related community:2012. 2012 is more about eschatology and 'end of the world' mythology and its effects on culture and society, but both communities will be complimentary. The main thrust of both will be dealing with disaster and upheaval (real and imagined) in a rational manner.
Sound interesting? Check them out!

"Automaticwriter" now on Dreamwidth
May. 4th, 2009 03:51 pmcpmcdillA new incarnation of a venerable LJ community.
This is for strictly abstract poetry... Poetry about the relationship of words, not of people.
Poetry generated by randomization or other methods, which by their abstractness evoke a certain something. This is not poetry about your feelings, or about love, unless your love affair is with a dictionary. You are welcome to join, but read the profile page before posting.
Keep it abstract.

3:10 To Yuma - a many splendored thing
May. 4th, 2009 07:49 pmbaggyeyesHi there!
This community is a very simple one, and hopefully, will be an interesting one.
What this comm needs:
Works of fanfiction, fanart, discussion on 3:10 to Yuma by Elmore Leonard, as well as the films (1957, 2007) based on his short story by the same name.
You can mesh other westerns into this verse (Unforgiven/3:10, or Red River / 3:10 to Yuma) that kind of thing, but make sure you say which version of 310 you’re using: Book, 1957, or 2007. That'll make it easier for people to get their bearings.
All 'ships, including slash are welcome.
For a fuller set of guidelines and a handy HTML posting template, check us out:

Thank you all so very much. Have yourselves a great day.
