dw_community_promo | Mood Theme in a Year

moodthemeinayear is gearing up for its second full run!

Once a week starting in January, the community mod will make a post with three mood themes. Those are the suggested moods to work on for that week. In those posts, you can talk with other community members, brainstorm, encourage each other, make suggestions, and generally cheer one another on. You are welcome to post any mood images you make to the community as you go, and you are welcome to join or leave the community at any point in the schedule.

Despite the name, there are three main schedules for this community:

The Maximum Mood Theme Track, which begins on January 1st and continues through the year with regular breaks

The Minimum Mood Theme track, which starts seven times a year and goes for six weeks at a time

The Medium Mood Theme track, which starts three times a year and goes for fifteen weeks at a time, with one break in the middle

Mood prompt posting will begin on January 1st and continue through the year. The Maximum track will include all 132 moods; the Minimum Track will include the bare minimum 15 moods for a complete mood theme, plus an optional three moods that will give you the greatest image variety in your mood theme for the fewest actual images; the Medium Track includes all 34 higher-level moods that other moods inherit images from.

While Dreamwidth requires a paid account to use a custom mood theme, you do not need a paid account or even to want to use a custom mood theme to participate in this community! If you're intrigued by the idea of creating a custom mood theme, or just watching along and potentially cheering on others as they do so, you are welcome to join in the fun to the extent you feel comfortable. (There's also the secret hidden option of creating a mood theme with completely original/copyright-free images and submitting it to Dreamwidth to be a possible site-supported mood theme 👀)

I love your tired little rat! :D

Would you like to come promote

moodthemeinayear on

goals_on_dw ...? Might you be interested in affiliating the two communities? That's just a listing in the profile of other communities whose topics may appeal to the same audience.

I can't wait for it to be everyone's tired little rat 🥰

I love both of those ideas! I probably won't get to it until tomorrow (when I'm also planning to promote at

newcomers and

fandomcalendar), but they are now officially on my agenda 👍

I would love to see these all over DW. I love the cheer rat too!

No problem. It just makes sense to do them in a batch, so you can copy-paste the promo and edit if necessary for each venue.

I just have to be patient. It'll happen when it happens. ~~By 3W4DW would be cool, tho.~~

Oh, definitely! This is one of three I got done tonight. I just also don't want every other post on my reading page to be effectively this post 😂

I agree that timing would be fortuitous!

True. I try to space out which things I'm promoting when.

I was originally hoping that they'd be live by the December sale post, but it wasn't to be, alas. Still, Team Dreamwidth has a lot on their plate, so I can hardly blame them for needing to take time!

I just also don't want every other post on my reading page to be effectively this post

Thank you for your kind consideration! ♥

Just came here to say: thanks for sharing this; I joined and am looking forward to it.

No worries there! If I had to see even my own post (and effectively the same damn one at that) six times out of twenty on my reading page, I would absolutely be rolling my eyes and sighing to myself by the third one. Spacing it out seems like a much better option for not annoying anyone, including myself. People can be pretty reluctant to join a community they find annoying, after all 😉

Yay! Thanks for joining in; I hope you have a great time with us!
