I hiatus-ed from twitter during vacation last month (post forthcoming), and was DW- and discord-only for a bit. During that time, I was thinking about what I missed most, and really it was Interesting Thoughts. (Modern fandom slang might be 'content,' but I hate that haha.)

And I remember that when DW migrations were discussed on twitter, one of the common refrains was not knowing where to start. I feel like friending memes are kind of high pressure because of the expectation of reciprocity if you're totally new! Also, you have to BE THERE when the meme is still active. So I was thinking instead about:

✧・゚: *✧・゚:* INTERESTING PEOPLE TO SUBSCRIBE TO *:・゚✧*:・゚✧


I propose that people comment (anon or not) with some DW users they subscribe to that may be of interest-- be it for meta, book reviews, interesting observations, community-in-their-comments, etc.

I'm assuming here that the previous LJ norm of silent friending being creepy has now fallen by the wayside, and if someone has a public blog they're happy/neutral to have new subscribers, but if you are mentioned and don't want to be, feel free to message me and I'll screen the comment.

Signal boosts appreciated, here or on tumblr or twitter.

I enjoy hearing about books and composing from [personal profile] yhlee. [profile] angrhaine crossposts from their Tumblr so that you get a little of that experience if you miss it. [personal profile] naraht’s book reviews are also super, and I love that I’m regularly introduced to litfic and esoteric nonfic through them.

From: [personal profile] bemused_writer
I love this idea! And yeah, I think most people are cool with silent friending at this point unless they say otherwise in their profile.

Anyway, some people I would recommend are [personal profile] yourlibrarian for all around cool observations and meta thoughts. [profile] al8rd8 for Dragon Age content and general thoughts as well as [personal profile] anneapocalypse for lots of meta and Dragon Age content. [personal profile] enemytosleep hosts [community profile] sunshine_challenge and has a great journal with fandom posts as well. [personal profile] sonofgodzilla has all kinds of fandom content across the board.

Great idea! I've only been on DW for a couple of years so I remember how daunting it can feel to start out on here, but keep chugging along and soon you'll find a lot of great people. Here's a few to start out with.
[personal profile] batman writes video game thoughts and reviews.
[personal profile] bemused_writer writes about animanga, video games, fandom topics of interest and writes fantastic meta.
[personal profile] queenlua writes book reviews, lots of good nonfiction titles throughout.
[personal profile] runpunkrun and [personal profile] bluapapilio post links to interesting things around the web among their other fun posts.
