Western Meet and Greet
Tuesday, 1 July 2025 03:13ysabetwordsmith in allbingoLots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth. While researching community activities, I came across the idea of thematic meet and greet events. That seemed like something which might work here, given a membership of several hundred people and a new theme each month. So I made one for this month's theme. It gives people a place to meet folks with similar interests, and to squee about the current theme.
Here is the basic outline. Fill in as much or as little of it as you wish, depending on your interests as they relate to the Westerns Bingo Fest.

dw_maintenanceWe're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.
Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Winterfest in July
Monday, 30 June 2025 09:06vexed_wench in allbingoWelcome to Winter Fest in July. spiralicious and I (vexed_wench) will be your guest host for the month.
We love all things winter and Christmas. We realize that not everyone has fandoms or original universes that support that. We tried to come up with a few lists that could fit into almost any ‘verse.
Feel free to use any prompt how they speak to you. I have them separated just to make the list a bit more manageable.
For example, if you use a movie or music prompt, feel free to just work off the title or you can remix the movie, it's up to you. Or however else it moves you.
As usual, there will be banners at the end of the month. Also, fills can be made of anything; fic, poetry, vid, podfics, recs, or handcrafts. Art, icons, and wallpapers are nice as well. If you think of any medium not listed, that’s cool too.
This is a winter fest-themed month, so why not share some of your favorites and rec yours or someone else's work.
Anything goes this month. The only limit is your imagination.
And once again, thank you for being our guest. Cue the candle song!
There is a public card at the bottom of this post, or feel free to make your own here.
You can mix or match any of the prompts below or pick your own if you like.
Most of all, we hope you have fun!
