Just a quick wrap up for the end of 3 Weeks 4 Dreamwidth and say thank to the whole DW community. I tried to do a prompt and comm or website shout-out every day for comms I interact with. Here is a list:

Thanks to all the donors and giftees for stepping forward to take part in the Points Gifts challenge.

In the end we had 12 donors and 19 giftees. Donors have been notified about making their point gifts directly to assigned giftees. If you offered to donate and have not received a direct message from me, please let me know.

Giftees should be seeing messages from Dreamwidth when the gifts go through. If you have not received anything by May 31, please let me know as something may have gone awry.

Once all gifts have been sent we will have added $384.50 to Dreamwidth's intake this year \o/

In this event's first week 11 people stepped forward to donate Dreamwidth points to other site users who wanted to add or try out paid features. Per their pledges we have enough points to gift either 66 people $3 each in points, or fewer people enough points for particular things (such as 6 months of a premium paid account, a rename token, extra icons, etc.).

Now however it's your turn: we need people who would like paid features to step forward! Leave a comment indicating you'd like some Dreamwidth points, or mention what you'd specifically like the points for. (That way I can allot points based on desired purchases). Comments to this post are screened and all you need say is "Points!".

Remember, paid features support Dreamwidth financially. Having giftees means we add money to Dreamwidth's coffers.

Please also promote this offer in your account and communities if you're not interested in paid features yourself! ( Read more... )

Please leave a comment by May 14! On May 15 I'll start matching donors with giftees and those leaving comments here should be receiving points by the end of the month.

(Also if you'd still like to donate points, just visit the donor post and comment with the amount there)

spacefungusparty - a lovely Star Trek Discovery comm which is currently not very active. To change that I am posting season 4 episode discussion posts there. Join in or post anything related to Star Trek Discovery!

Since the com doesn't allow for new tags, I'm posting a little notice here so it will hit the feed.

I'm doing a prompt challenge on beautifulmechanical with thematic prompts every other day, and all it takes to participate is to post a music track or album that you think fits the prompt.

Challenge one was music in a language other than English.
Challenge two starts today and is on genre jumping.

I figure there's no harm posting responses to any of the challenges at any time, and I'll keep posting them every other day until 3weeks4dreamwidth ends.

And if you have prompt ideas, please let me know cause I'm mostly making them up as I go along.

Hi! For 3weeksforDreamwidth, I'm going to repost some of the fills I've been doing on threesentenceficathon on my personal journal! They're basically all fannish, mostly Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Honkai Star Rail, and my Vampire: The Masquerade OCs, but I make no promises about other stuff not sneaking in.

I know I started a day late, but if you want three short fics about a megalomaniac vampire and the priest he loves, come over here!

In the last 3 years a successful effort was made to support Dreamwidth by gifting points to other DW users. Let's make it 4!

Since part of the purpose of the 3 Weeks event is to generate support for the Dreamwidth site, I'd like to prompt a call for Dreamwidth users who can spare a little cash to offer points for other Dreamwidth users.

What does that mean?

Dreamwidth services can be purchased through points. As explained at the link: "Points cost 10 cents ($0.10 USD) each and can be used in place of cash in the site store." ( Read more... )

Questions can also be left in comments below and I will either respond directly or update this post with further information.

Happy Three Weeks for DW! This is my first year hosting a project:



Meme will be open until May 15th. All Fire Emblem games are welcome, as are all mediums! Prompt as much as you want, fill as much as you can, and have fun!

Happy Three Weeks for DW! There's more than one way to celebrate on some of the tokusatsu comms I run:

Both the toku100challenge events from the past two years are still ongoing and excitedly waiting for anyone to take part: there is both the drabble prompt meme with multiple great prompts to pick from, as well as lovely fills to read, and the comm's friending meme to find more toku friends on DW!

Plus the the current round of the tokuficathon still ongoing too and will be running until the end of May.

And there is the extended self-reccing period over at tokurecs! If you like the tokusatsu genre, please do feel free to join in on any of these! :D

Aight, it's your ghost mod.

I'mma be camping this weekend but TODAY IS THE DAY IT IS THREE WEEKS FOR DREAMWIDTH LET'S CELEBRATE

as usual, tag and go, let's have some FUN

(I'll share camping photos when I get back.)

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth runs April 25-May 15. During this time, people post content only visible on Dreamwidth (although it can be reposted elsewhere after the event ends). There's usually a flurry of activity as bloggers share anchor posts, new fiction, icons, banners, questionnaires, friending fests, memes, and other goodies. Community hosts often hold special activities in their communities too. Watch your reading page for more festivities.  To find posts for this event, follow the Threeweeks feed.

My 2025 introductory post is here.  This year I plan to post about goal-setting frameworks for newcomers.  See "My Blog Is About..." for an overview of my blogging in general.

I made a wrapup for the event here.  It suggests a few final activities, lists my posts from the event, and links to several wrapups by other people.

Just a final post for this event to let everyone know how the Points Gifts challenge worked out.

In the end we had 12 donors and 14 giftees. Points have now been allotted and donors have been notified about making their point gifts directly to assigned giftees. Giftees should be seeing messages from Dreamwidth when the gifts go through.

Once those are complete we should have added $216.50 to Dreamwidth's intake this year \o/

Thanks to all the donors and giftees for stepping forward!

Our three weeks are up, and it's time to play this year's three weeks for Dreamwidth off the stage...

Put a song for every letter in your url!
Hard mode: Challenge yourself and make it a fan-mix or themed playlist!

Link yours below so we can all share in some shiny new tunes ♥

3weeks4dreamwidth is celebrating Dreamwidth's anniversary!
Come join in for fun, memes, activities, and more ♥

Folks already chimed in on some of their favorite communities here on Dreamwidth. But how about filling those communities with shiny stuff? Have you recently posted something that could be linked or crossposted in a community? Reviews, meta, fanart, recs, silly memes...

Or maybe you have an interest and you've assumed there's no community for it currently... Do you often try an interest search, click the interests in your profile to see what pops up, or explore the site search to see if others are talking about your current shiny things? You might just stumble across your new favorite journal ;)

Did you find a new place or person? Did you choose to crosspost anything? Let us know in the comments.

(Remember, you can now put your name in the hat to receive Dreamwidth points.)

(borrowing from my post on fandomcalendar, shh)

Multi-Fandom Writing Prompt Comms & Whatnot 2024 Edition - what it says on the tin, additions quite welcome! (List pruned and posted yearly, additions welcome any time.)

There's a friending meme happening over on anime_manga, for anyone looking for more friends into anime, manga, and adjacent fandoms.

Group-read (as in, a group all reading, sometimes on a theme, sometimes not) community readingtogether is holding a Minithon until the 15th of May. There's no theme, other than reading and chatting for 3W4DW.

Multifandom spring-inspired fanwork community spring_renewal just finished its annual round, and all prompts will be retired at the beginning of the next round. Come check out the prompt list, post for amnesty, and let it be spring all year long.

There's a Cygames Prompt Fest happening over here, arguably for 3W4DW but it'll remain open indefinitely. Prompts for any game or anime Cygames is involved are welcome. (Granblue Fantasy, Dragalia Lost, Rage of Bahamut, Bravern, Zombie Land Saga, Priconne, World Flipper, Little Noah, etc.)

There's also a new Rec-A-Game Meme, for anyone who'd like video game recommendations. It's been more than a decade since the last one, so it's time. It'll also remain open indefinitely.

And lastly, small_fandoms is running its annual Small Fandoms Promofest, which runs until May 15th. Come share a bit about your favorite small fandoms or maybe find a new one of your own!

I wanted to do something cool for 3w4dw and I came up with this idea!

Go to my journal and tell me either something cool you've seen on DW lately, or something you want to see more of, and I'll pull a tarot and oracle card. I'll also write a tiny story inspired by the cards, what you show us, or both.

Post is here

Hopefully I'll see you over there. If you'd like feel free to spread this around, as I think it'd be cool to see all the interesting things and new ideas people have.

In this event's first week 11 people stepped forward to donate Dreamwidth points to other site users who wanted to add or try out paid features.
