Online Housekeeping

[ysabetwordsmith]

As part of sunshine_challenge I have done the following checklist of online housekeeping ...


1. Transformative Works Policy + AO3 Profiles and Gifting

My TWP is here and has been updated.


2. Friending Policy

My FP is here and is current.


3. Sidebar + Profile Links

See my DW profile page for useful links to my other sites, a donation button for fishbowls or sales in case PayPal malfunctions on the day, and a pretty detailed look at who I am and what I do.


4. Interests (in profile) + Introductory “About Me” Sticky Page

My profile Interests are up to date, and you can read about me on the same page. I do not use sticky pages because I hate having to scroll past them all the time.


5. Master Lists

Most of my master lists, such as they are, appear on my PenUltimate Productions site, primarily the Serial Poetry page but there's book info there too and so on. The Serial Poetry page is NOT up to date and not likely to become so, because Weebly has turned into a kludge to update and also I write like lightning. However, it is an excellent place to find a very large archive of my work that you can read for free, introducing many of my most popular series with entries in (my best guess at) series-chronological order. Also, look at the introduction and the end notes when reading individual works; the ones that belong to a set often have links to those related entries.

Master lists of some post series I have made for various events:
* Birdwatching (masterlist of posts from 3 Weeks for Dreamwidth 2023)
* Hippie Culture (masterlist of posts from 3 Weeks for Dreamwidth 2022)
* Meta: Wednesday TV Series (The Addams Family) (for marchmetamatterschallenge 2023)
* Meta: "Why I Love Wednesday Addams" (for marchmetamatterschallenge 2023)
* Nonsexual Intimacies (event not listed, October 2011)
* Skills Heroes Need (masterlist of posts from snowflake_challenge 2022-2023)
* Skin Hunger (3 Weeks for Dreamwidth 2013)

Master lists of characters and traits:
These are incomplete but will give you a good starting point.
* QUILTBAG Characters
* Gender Identities in My Characters
* Romantic Orientations in My Characters
* Sexual Orientations in My Characters
* My Characters with Disabilities
Don't see your favorite trait written about yet? Drop by any relevant prompt call and ask for it then.

Love Is For Children (The Avengers) has its own landing page.

Find my AO3 works here.

Communities I run:
allbingo -- creative bingo with a new fest each month. July has two: Fireworks and Winter Fest in July.
birdfeeding -- birdwatching, birdfeeding, gardening for wildlife, sharing bird pictures, etc.
crowdfunding -- connecting creators and fans of cyberfunded creativity. It includes a Creative Jam mid-month with varying themes; July will be 15-16 with a theme of Empowerment.
reddit_refugees -- resources for folks new to Dreamwidth, users returning after a long absence, or established users wishing to help newcomers learn this platform.


6. Post Tags

I tag all my posts. As of 7-1-23, these are my top 10 tags:

Reading -- 21,467 entries
Writing -- 20,117
Cyberfunded Creativity -- 17,910
Poetry -- 15,911
Networking -- 13,777
Fishbowl -- 12,493
Fantasy -- 10,698
News -- 7,341
Weblit -- 7,080
Poem -- 6,979

Regarding the Fishbowl tag: the next Poetry Fishbowl will be on Tuesday, July 4 with a theme of "Asking for Help and Getting It." If you expect to be busy then, you can leave an advance prompt on that earlier post. See the Poetry Fishbowl landing page.

Other fairly common topics include science fiction, nature, gender studies, science, ethnic studies, activism, fiction, and food. My How To tag has fewer entries but most of them are meaty, practical ones.


7. Current Icons

I have not gone through these.


8. Access Filters

I don't really use this feature, or the friendslock feature.
