I meant to do this Monday...

Here are some small communities I run that I'd like to see embiggened. Please feel free to join and start participating!

literaryicons is a place to submit and request text icons based on works of literature, especially those that don't have television shows and movies based on them. It can be hard to express your love for a fandom that doesn't have pretty pictures and hot actors/actresses! I'm working on some Lois McMaster Bujold icons now.

newgotham is a community for people in, around, and traveling to Chicago. I've been trying to post links to free festivals and gatherings, reviews of cool businesses and places, and bits of Chicago history.

singleserving is a cooking community for small batch cooking. Live alone? Have a small kitchen? Just starting out? Jump in here! Post recipes, experiences, and requests. I did a post on potatoes that a lot of folks found helpful, and I'm going to do a write up on rice next. I started this community to fulfill a request, but honestly I'm more used to large batch cooking, so I'd really love if more people were posting recipes and tips.

labyrinthine is a fan community for Sarah Monette, primarily her Doctrine of Labyrinth books but also her Booth/Bone Key books.

Green Living & Related

[greenwitch]

green_living is for those interested in a greener and more natural lifestyle, or simple lifestyle, whether for health, political, or financial reasons.

Similar communities (I have no affiliation with these, but think that they could use some activity as well!):

environment - Environmental News and Discussion

permaculture - Food From Sustainable Landscapes

gettingtoenough - Radical Simplicity

homeeconomics101 - Home Economics 101

eco_parent - Green Parenting

(Also, there's no tags for "nature" or "environment" yet, if those could be added that would be awesome!)
