Dreamwidth! What Do You Do With Your Journal ._.

[abyssal_sylph]

Now, you might be like me where you're kinda unsure what to do with your journal once you have it. I know I can struggle with it even now. But here's on some ideas on what to post about in case you want them;

Making Fanfic & Fanart
You can write & post fanfic/fanart here! There are communities here for sharing your works like writethisfanfic, vocab_drabbles, 100ships, justcreate & allbingo.

Making Icons
Now, if you are on dreamwidth then you know you can have more then 1 icon per account. Now, some people like getting icons by others for various reasons. Even then, making icons is basically seen as its own art here, like on 20icontables & icontalking. You can create a table of icons on Chlor's Icon Table Maker.

Rec Works
You wanna gush about works you love and why they're great, fancake is a place that offers prompts in case you want. But you can also just, do that on your own journal & for original works.

Write Meta
You've got some thoughts that go into analysis terratory? Whelp, why not organize these thoughts into meta that others can read about? ysabetwordsmith has a whole series talking about the importance of meta & includes a "how to" for it.

Simply Journal!
This might seem obvious, but just document stuff that happened to you &/or that you experianced. If you wanna share thoughts or ideas in regards to journaling, journalsandplanners is there for you!

Might you be willing to crosspost this over on newcomers ...? It would be very useful there.

Find fannish activities over on fandomcalendar and fandom_on_dw.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for some great ideas, I do wonder what to write sometimes. I might do Recs.

If you wanna write (no pressure, but you mentioned it), I'd suggest with writing stuff you'd wanna see more. Like, if you have trouble finding a specific thing you wanna read about, why not try making some yourself?

Yes, that's why I like your list- it's got lots of ideas on 😊
