"Interesting people to subscribe to" meme!

[superborb]

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'll start!

For interesting book reviews, skygiants consistently writes humorous reviews that I enjoy reading, regardless of if the book itself would be up my alley.

dolorosa_12 has introduced me to a set of media that I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise, given where I get other media recs.

china_shop does weekly updates with often interesting links-- but the unique appeal of her posts to me is the commenters section, which often has cross-commenting between other people and is generally bustling.

I always enjoy reading the meta x_los posts, though usually it eventually makes its way to AO3.

Finally, melannen is doing a fascinating 100 days of enemy recs currently, full of interesting and new-to-me fandoms!

Aw, thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them!
