[community profile] kindreadspirits is a new chat and fanworks community centred around making the most of the gay subtext abundant in a lot of vintage horror and classic ghost stories, namely of the Victorian through the Edwardian era and towards the middle of the 20th Century.

Another main purpose is to actually find the relevant stories within the plethora of horror fiction from the olden days, so a main focus of this community is to let each other know what we simply must read/listen to at the first opportunity!

We write and gossip about gentlemen haunted by spooks and secret urges alike, so in the fashion of all gentlemen's clubs, Kindread Spirits is members-only. You must be 18 or older to become a member, as some content posted may well be explicit. (Please read the whole profile for other essential info!)

Chat is very much encouraged! Post about anything related to M/M slash potential in your favourite stories and novels - your chosen pairings and most beloved characters, quotes, and plot points. Post about authors you admire, ask for research or writing help, share interesting story finds and information, tell us about exchanges upon which we might want to descend, moan about your WIPs, ask for beta-readers, participate in (and suggest) challenges, post playlists or icons or mood boards you've made, etc.

* [community profile] steve_and_eddie - A community for the Stranger Things Steddie ship. Fic reccs, discussion, meta, zine notifications and more! Also, the profile page has writing resources like the walkthough of the Munson's trailer that was done by a props person on the show.

* [community profile] transmediaclub For any and all trans rep in TV shows, moves and other canons. Discuss these canons or find new ones here!

* [community profile] leverageinternational A catch-all Leverage com for the OG show, the new show, K-Lev and anything else. Possibly no new news outside of pictures of picket lines for a while, but we've love any fans to come hang out with us.

The com's profile page has links to podcasts, official social media accounts (this is complicated recently but I am trying to keep on top of it), an index someone made to John Roger's production blog for ease of finding posts and other fandom spaces.

Howdy, dreamwidth!

I'm an admin of the community [community profile] transandnonbinary, and after returning to dreamwidth and chatting with the other admins, I've decided to try reviving the place. Given the current political climate, I thought it wise to foster a place for trans siblings to unite and strengthen our bonds. ♥

Please come join us! Cis allies are not only also welcomed, but encouraged.

Can't wait to see y'all there!

Hi folks! I just wanted to let everyone know that [community profile] the_magicians is up and running and ready to host all your Season 4 feels! If you're new to this show, it's like Harry Potter meets Narnia if the protagonists were all twentysomethings with drug problems who make bad sex decisions. The Magicians is sometimes campy, sometimes unexpectedly touching, very very queer, and always a fun ride. If you want to get a sense of the show's tone, I recommend two vids by [archiveofourown.org profile] longnationalnightmare which work well as companion pieces: Die Young and Potential New Boyfriend.

Season 4 premieres tomorrow on SyFy at 9/8c, so it's a great time to start watching. We'll have open posts for discussing each episode as it airs, and we welcome recs for fic, vids, meta, etc. You can introduce yourself and make friends at our introductions post. Come check it out.

Welcome to [community profile] killingeve!  We're a general fan community for the BBC America show Killing Eve, which recently aired its first season and is currently filming the second.   It stars Sandra Oh as a rogue MI5 agent and Jodie Comer as the psychopathic Russian assassin who becomes obsessed with her. Don't worry, the obsession is mutual, romantic, and definitely canon.  Think of this as an even queerer lady Hannibal.

This is obviously a great femslash fandom, but all kinds of fanwork, recs, & discussions are welcome here!  I'm going to try to start up a rewatch of the first series sometime this month, and I'd be happy to arrange a spoiler-free parallel conversation if any folks want to join in on their first watch.

If you're a fan of canon queer characters, well-written women, smart spy plots, Sandra Oh at her absolute sexiest, and not worrying about violence being unnecessarily gendered, come hang out with us!

[personal profile] snowpuppies, [personal profile] valyssia, [personal profile] skargasm and [personal profile] theladymerlin are proud to present the NEW [community profile] kinda_gay! As Spike and Xander so helpfully pointed out, Boys can be "kinda gay" too, so [community profile] kinda_gay is opening its doors to all Whedon-verse LGBT-themed fiction, art and discussion. We're hoping that re-vamping the community will make it a mecca to all things (fem)slashy, and have several prompty-type things to get your muses flowing: Our Fortnightly Prompt Challenge, 2012 Prompt Table, and The Current Plot Bunny.

Please feel free to come check us out (and pimp us all over)! You can find the new rules in the profile, and our mirror/sister LiveJournal community can be found here: [info]kinda_gay.

Come join us, and we can all be "kinda gay" together! \o/

First: the one I'm a mod for

[community profile] hp_tarot This is a mirror journal for the livejournal community of the same name. It's a Harry Potter community for fiction and art inspired by the Tarot. We have just opened up sign ups for the fourth round of the fest. No prior tarot knowledge is required for participation (believe me, I joined the last round with no knowledge and still have relatively little).

Second: Two comms I'm just an enthusiastic member of

[community profile] rainbow_lounge This is a meeting place and adding community for anyone who falls under the queer umbrella (and their allies are also welcome). Everyone is very friendly and intros are basically free-form.

[community profile] unclutter This is a great community for anyone who needs to de-clutter their home, office or any sort of space. Everyone offers each other support and can drop in with updates of how they are getting on. The basic idea is one item out per day, plus one for anything brought in, but each person has their own particular goals and philosophies on that.

[community profile] firstpersonporn is a community for sharing stories about your real-life sexual experiences and fantasies. It runs in a similar manner to various "anonymous kinkmeme" type communities: there are regular posts where people can give prompts, and other people can respond with stories. Anonymous commenting is encouraged, and people of all sexual preferences and genders are invited to join and participate.

Announcing a new community, [community profile] queering_holmes, for discussions about Sherlock Holmes and queerness. This is not a slash community, though it is fan friendly; rather, it is a community for thoughtful meta, research, and academic/scholarly discussions about queerness in Sherlock Holmes canon and in the Holmesian period. A (non-exhaustive) list of on-topic subjects:

* history of homosexuality in the Holmesian era
* queer interpretations of the text
* reviews of related books/articles/etc
* close readings/recs/reviews of pastiches/fanworks in light of queer history/theory/etc
* investigations of gender/masculinity/etc in Sherlock Holmes
* forms of queerness other than homosexuality
* discussions of eg. orientalism, colonialism, class or other related subjects/approaches

Of course the Sherlock Holmes books, movies, TV series, and various other adaptations and related works are all on-topic.

(Mods, should there be an LGBTQ tag?)
