followfriday

Got any Follow Friday-related posts to share this week? Comment here with the link(s).

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die".

Current Mood: busy

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm a little bit floof-brained after work today, and I want to put something together still for Sot69 tonight if I can manage it, but I did want to say before I put it off too long and felt unneccessarily awkward about replying: Thanks for helping me get a better perspective on community running and activity. Thinking about it and getting my expectations in order, I'm pretty sure I'm good for another year, but I might also reach out for help, and/or drop the weekly-ish roundups in favor of just the final roundup.

I'm happy I could help. It's a complicated process.

I may not have mentioned it before, but I've got a post on running an event here:

Yay!

>> but I might also reach out for help, <<

That's an excellent idea. It is MUCH easier to run a community or event with 2+ people than alone.

>> and/or drop the weekly-ish roundups in favor of just the final roundup.<<

That's an option. You might also take a page from other events and ask if anyone wants to host a theme, so you don't have to do them all yourself.

Still fluff-brained, but thank you ♥ I will explore your comment more in depth later.

On a related note, I finished the thing I wanted to have done tonight, yay! I now have the silly theme mini-essays written up for all of the new-to-this-year suggestions that didn't get a winning slot in the theme poll. You, and anyone else who wants to, can check 'em out here (including "69 By the Book" and "Educational 69" 👀)
