[community profile] dryspell Many people consider themselves creative, and that creativity forms an important part of their identity. But what happens when you lose your creativity? From my experience, it hurts. It's isolating and lonely. This community is designed to be a safe place for anyone suffering from a lack of creativity, from fanfic authors to poets to musicians. Share your stories, share your resources, and know that those reading understand.

From the profile:

This community hosts the DreamWidth Daily Quiz, an offshoot of the LiveJournal Daily Quiz, which has been running since 2004.

Our goal: Comedy, pure and simple. Sure, it looks like a trivia contest, but really, nothing could be further from the truth.


A new quiz is up today. Come and play!

[community profile] ponyville_trot, the community for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fans, is growing. In 17 days we've gone from a herd of one to 37 members. There are 24 journal entries, 11 tags and 151 comments so far. Every day there is a prompt and an image to brighten up your reading page. ^_^ Trot on over and take a look. Sample the music, it's imported.

Tell Me About It is a community for those who can relate to the many faces of mental illness and are seeking support and camaraderie. So far we’re fielding mostly discussions, but advice (given and sought), rants, humor, personal stories, and plain ol’ commiseration are all very welcome. Just about the only thing we don’t do is offer medical advice. ;)

Consider yourself invited to [community profile] ponyville_trot. It's a community I created today for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, of which I am an avid fan. If there is one thing that Dreamwidth has been sorely lacking, it's a My Little Pony Friendship is Magic community. I've been wanting to start one, and I have 100 days of prompts to feed into it, but deciding on a name took a while. Ponyville Trot sounds like a newspaper, so that will do.

So please join! Bring your stories, artwork, links and events, or just hang out for the pictures. It will be magic. ^_^

I already posted a general promotion for [community profile] flaneurs here, but since we're new (and hence allowed to promote more than once a month) and we're running an EXCITING CHALLENGE during June, I thought I would post again!

[community profile] flaneurs is a community for urban ramblers, explorers, and adventurers. Our challenge for June 2011 is to attempt three adventures, each based around one of our themes: buses, lines, and doing something different. More information at those links!

Because no major movie can come out without at least a few comms springing up like mushrooms! Here's thor_fic, for all your Norse God fictional needs! It's a brand new community and still has some of that new community feel – mainly a lot of white space. But – there are a few recs up already, to help get folks in the mood!

The comm is inspired by the movie, but accepts any ear/interpretation of the Norse gods and Norse mythology; comics, movies and even the actual mythos! Fic, art, recs, vids … all are welcome.

The profile has comm guidelines.

Odin approves!

is it possible to get a 'mythology' tag?

[community profile] flaneurs is a community for people who enjoy what, for want of a better term, might be called "urban rambling". We like to wander through cities, towns, and the built environment in general, driven by the joy of serendipity, the urge to explore, or the satisfying completism of walking down every street in a given postal district.

All kinds of posts are welcome — descriptions of your adventures, requests for information on a particular area, picspams, book reviews, suggestions for meetups, website recommendations, and so on. This is a fairly new community, but already reasonably active.

I would like to announce that DreamWidth now has a [community profile] caturday!
This community is open to everyone, and available for anything cat-related. Post lolcats, videos, comics, animations, whatever is fun and adorable! Show us your cats, your neighbor's cats, cats you found on the internet, cats you saw at the zoo, or cats you sketched. Cat stories are good too- no need to restrict this to people who like pictures.

I will try to post a cat daily, but my track record with these things is like a week best case, so won't you join in?

Shoes!

[community profile] shoes

This is a daily photo community devoted to shoes. Members are encouraged to post pictures and to participate in the themed challenges; discussion posts are also welcome as long as they are on topic. Obviously the topic is shoes - all kinds of shoes – all brands, shapes, and sizes are welcome. If you like Doc Martens, Jimmy-Choos, or fetish ballet heels in leather, latex, or lacquer, it is all appropriate here!

We have just resumed a challenge, the theme of which is colour. This week is red so you can expect a lot of photos of lovely red shoes being posted. Come, take a look, and even participate if you have recently seen a pair in red that you simply can't resist.

(Mod, can we have a tag for fashion?)

Also, if you are a fan of the Human Tenth Doctor from the British sci-fi series Doctor Who, then come over and join [community profile] oneheart_onelife. Everyone is welcome to post fanfic, icons, graphics, fanvids, discussion questions, general questions, or just to squee.  Come on over and join!

(Not my comm, posting on behalf of the mods w/permission)

On March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by an earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale. Subsequently, the coastline was hit by tsunamis as high as 10 metres. A second quake, 6.6-Richter, has since hit Japan. In addition, there have been reports of a possible meltdown at a nuclear plant in Fukushima, with several casualties.

Please also remember that a 5.8-Richter earthquake struck Yunnan province in China on March 10. As many as 130,000 people have lost their homes. Electricity and water supplies have been cut off, roads are damaged, and infrastructure is wrecked.

[community profile] help_japan is a charity auction on Dreamwidth to raise funds for humanitarian aid and disaster relief. If you can make an offer, bid, or otherwise signal boost, please do so. It would be very much appreciated.

(Needs tags: charity auction or fundraising or something similar?)

Decluttering can be lonely, tiring and frequently emotional. Here's a community to help you keep plugging away systematically by evicting one thing a day from your home. Blog your efforts at [community profile] unclutter_2011, for mutual support and celebration, with the goal of ending 2011 with (at least) 365 fewer items of clutter.

Edit: Or you could join the rather older and more active [community profile] unclutter which I failed to find but have now been alerted to. Does almost the same thing, so it's probably silly to have both.

If your approach to cleaning is to Clean All the Things with the accompanying burnout and eventual disaster which makes you feel like you once again have to clean all the things, then [community profile] bitesizedcleaning is the place for you. Here, we are going to be exploring an approach to cleaning which is bite-sized. This is a non-judgmental community where I hope you will feel free to share your challenges and offer potential solutions when others share their challenges.

I will be offering tips on how to set up a system of cleaning that works for you as well as sharing what my approach looks like. Take what works for you and leave the rest. Ask questions. Ask for help. Be a cheerleader for others in the community. Participate in whatever way works for you. There are no hard fast rules for participation or for cleaning. This community is all about making it work for you.
