I've started up a new community for discussing professional wrestling at

pro_wrestling. This is a place more for meta, discussion, and getting to know other wrestling promotions, performers, and fans. I wanted to make a socially-oriented space for wrestling on here - we'll try to get weekly all-promotion discussions going and monthly wrestler spotlights and other recurring themed posts to get people talking to each other and about the wrestling they love. This is also a place to talk about wrestling history, zines, magazines, and other bits of ephemeral wrestling culture! It's a place to share icons and non-fictional writing about wrestling. This isn't a fanfic comm because I feel like the network for that already exists and is well-represented and because that's not something I feel like I have the experience to be comfortable moderating.

So, consider stopping by! I hope to see you there! Membership is moderated, but just as a way to avoid robot-spam. As long as you don't have an empty journal you'll be approved - and if you do have an empty journal, just shoot me a PM & I'll add you!

bodies_in_motion

A comm for exploring the experiences and meanings of movement practices, whether an activity is labeled as “sports”, “art”, “exercise” or something else completely, whether it’s Olympic lifting or Zumba or rock climbing or ballroom dancing or tai chi or Pokemon Go or a walk around the block.

The comm is open to anyone who’s interested, whether you currently have a movement practice(s) of some kind or not.

Welcome to

ramblers: for all your rural ambling, rambling, scrambling, and dangling discussion needs.

oofuri is a fan community for Ookiku Furikabutte, aka Oofuri, aka Big Windup!, an ongoing sports manga by Asa Higuchi about Japanese high school baseball. It's also been adapted into two anime series so far.

We are planning to host a communal manga read/re-read that will include a spoiler-hiding policy, so if you'd like to read a new manga along with others with summary/discussion posts as you read, we'd love to have you! Other future comm activities are also in the works. :D We're also hosting summaries/translations for the new raw Oofuri chapters as they come out in Afternoon magazine.

P.S. If you're interested in the comm but want to learn more about Oofuri first, I made a promo post for the series in my personal journal a while back.

If you watch Formula 1, it's only a month until the first race in Melbourne, so come along to

f1 and talk about what's happened, what's going to happen, or the "what-if"s...

What's the best race you've ever seen?
Who do you want to see do well this year?
How does Bernie Ecclestone always end up with all the cash?

I come with news of a new RPF/S comm for the football/soccer fandom,

footiefic!!

We accept all sorts of fanworks and graphics, artworks and mixes! This community originally existed on LiveJournal but we've recently set up shop over here on dreamwidth and would love to see some new members!

Howdy, new persons! If you are excited about bicycles (or other forms of human-powered wheeled-and-geared transport) and would like to talk about them, we have a comm for that. It is called, unsurprisingly,

bicycles, and we make an effort not to be the kind of people who make you feel like the way you bicycle isn't hardcore enough or whatever, because that's no fun.

C'mon over and say hi and talk about bikes! Bikes are neat.

disobey_gravity, the comm for people who are into any form of climbing!

That includes buildering and Parkour -- in fact, we welcome anyone who's curious about climbing, and we're happy to answer people's questions about how to get started.

(While I'm here, I thought I'd plug some other comms related to sports, exercise and/or health:

exercise_every_day,

runners,

arrow_rest,

bicycles,

sun_salutation and

playeatsleep.)

Hey, Dreamwidth! We've just stated a new community for people who are trying to keep motivated with an exercise program. It's

arrow_rest. You don't have to be a shooter to join. Come check us out, drop a post and hang out.

disobey_gravity is a comm for climbers of all sorts (and for anyone who's interested in climbing or wondering about trying it).

It's newbie-friendly and laid back, and, in the words of the mod, "a place to hang out and talk about climbing during those unfortunate periods when you can't actually be climbing."
