✨ April 25th to May 15th ✨

Let's celebrate our awesome online home together! Activities, events, memes, all the special interest blog posts <3



Guidelines
+ Feel free to promote any activity you've got going for 3W4D, either in communities or hosted in your own journal.
+ As this is to celebrate the anniversary and promote activity at Dreamwidth, it is highly appreciated that content tagged for the event stays on Dreamwidth exclusively for the whole three weeks. (obviously nobody's setting the hounds on you)
+ Feel free to tag anything you think would be of interest even if you're not linking it here. It's a good way to meet likeminded people who want to talk about movies/books/hobbies/travel/what have you.
+ Posts tagged with three weeks for dreamwidth (or threeweeks or three_weeks_for_dw) will show up in this feed :)
+ If you wish, drop a link to any content you post anywhere on Dreamwidth for this fest into this community after the start date, with a brief description of the nature of the post. Posting is open to all community members, we'd love to see you!

See you all next year ♥

Hello everyone!

It's been a wonderful three weeks with you all here, but now the event has come to a close. Many thanks to everyone who joined in with posts, events, and comments, and I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend ♥

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

In the end we had 16 donors and 20 giftees. Donors have been notified and will be 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 $402 to Dreamwidth's intake this year \o/

I'm hosting a comment event at the gamechangerhr community. Each post features two meme-style questions about Heated Rivalry. You can find all of the posts at the three weeks for DW tag. If you like Heated Rivalry, come join us!

fandomocweekly is hosting an adopt-a-prompt amnesty meme. There are lots of prompts without fills any fills. (The quickest way to find an unfilled prompt is to look on the community tags page and choose a challenge prompt with only one post.)

To participate, comment on the adopt-a-prompt post and post your fill to the community by May 15th! Here are the posting guidelines and FAQs.

For 3weeks4Dreamwidth, I'm offering happy mail, meaning a card/postcard in the post, just message me an name & address, anywhere in the world. I enjoy making/embellishing cards with collage materials.

Examples in the cut:

In this event's first week 15 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 68 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 is the only way to support Dreamwidth financially. Having giftees means we give Dreamwidth financial resources for all they do.

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)

Weekly Challenge: Do you have a big current interest? Something you've just watched or read you'd like to chatter about? Go to Explore/Site And Journal Search and look to see if others are talking about it. Join in.
(for media this works best with recent stuff, but you can always try your luck!)

How'd that go, any luck?

Community culture used to be big back in the day, but as fics drifted over to AO3, fanart and graphics to tumblr, and random thoughts/reviews sprinkled in just about everywhere, the communities have been somewhat left behind. But they're such a wonderful hub for potential new folks to stumble across!

This is your opportunity to tell others about wonderful communities you enjoy, and those you wish to breathe life back into.

I've never created a meme of my own so I thought I'd give it a try.

Come get a line of poetry from yours truly! I have too many poets and poems I just adore, so I thought why not share some with the DW community?

bnha_fans is hosting another Themed Rec Fest to celebrate Dreamwidth this year :) If you're a fan of Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia, consider popping by to share your recs and enjoy other members'!

As part of 3weeks4dreamwidth, fanmix_monthly is hosting a mini mix meme! Come get some music recommendations and revive a fading part of fandom culture.

Hosting some drabblethons over at seventhdoctor and first_doctor, for any Classic Doctor Who fans out there.

And also hosting a drabblethon over at conradveidt, for any silent film and Old Hollywood enthusiasts.

voiceinmyear, a comm for podcasts, audio drama, audiobooks and podfics, is joining in the 3W4D fun. We'll have a few posts over the weeks for people to share what they're listening to and what they recc.

We'd love some new members or people to driveby comment and share what they're filling their ears with.

Over on beautifulmechanical , a music sharing and discovery community, we are inviting people to share music and musicians they discovered through dreamwidth.

Everyone is welcome to join and post. We are a community of people who get excited about music and love to share it.

On the off chance someone here likes visual kei, my community vkotd is currently hosting a raffle where the winner will get enough points for 6 months of a paid account :] Please stop by if you're interested.

So, on the off chance you haven't had your fill of tarot-related prompts, I decided to offer up some myself.

Please feel free to drop by and grab a few cards, I'm always wanting to encourage people to make cool stuff!

I'll spend the next 3 weeks posting one meme daily for you to get unstuck! You can do them in any order you want or answer as many of the questions as you want. Adapt it to your journal and watch the meme change and evolve as it gets passed around!

You can find my three weeks for dreamwidth memes at this tag.
