https://archiveofourown.org/users/Ysabetwordsmith/works
https://ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com/
Your approximate location (e.g. city, state, country, and/or bioregion): central Illinois, USA
Your Interests and Activities
What languages do you speak?
English, a little Spanish and Russian, a dab of Japanese, and a smattering of everything else I ever brushed up against. I am linguistic SillyPutty. Also I'm an avid xenolinguist and have constructed multiple languages ranging in size from short word lists to whole dictionary/grammar ones.
What are some of your favorite hobbies?
Cooking, crafts, gardening, photography, quantum mechanics.
What television shows and movies do you like?
Fandoms include Wednesday (The Addams Family), The Avengers, Good Omens, Jurassic Park, Lucifer, Magnificent 7, Star Trek, X-Men.
Most recently watched movie: Inside Out 2.
Most recently watched TV: The Dragon Prince.
What books or other written fandoms are you into?
Tolkien, Harry Potter, Mercedes Lackey, Pern, Sherlock Holmes.
Currently reading: How to Invent Everything.
Recently finished: Penric's Progress.
What kinds of music do you enjoy? Listening, playing, or both?
Filk and folk. Almost entirely listening. I can manage a PVC pipe drum in a drum jam okay, and I'm fairly good with a sea drum.
Do you have a transformative works statement / blanket statement?
Mine is here.
What are some worthy causes you support?
Environmentalism, various disadvantaged ethnic groups, human rights, S-risks and X-risks.
Do you have pets or livestock, and if so, what kinds?
I tend to focus more on wildlife, so for instance, birdfeeding and native plants to support insects.
Do you enjoy gardening or houseplants, and if so, what kinds?
I love gardening and my yard is a laissez-faire permaculture. I have a hippie plant window with, hmm, between 1-2 dozen plants.
What does your average day look like?
I spend much of my time in my home office writing. During the warm season, though, daylight hours involve many trips outdoors for yardwork. You can see the writing on my blog, and I usually make a post about the day's birdfeeding/yardening activities too.
About Your Blog
What is your Dreamwidth blog like?
Imagine taking a random slice of a very large library, and that's about it, with a bunch of folks chatting in the lounge.
What is your blog metaphor?
Mine is a combination of living room and home office, and in fact those rooms are adjacent in my house.
How active is it?
Highly active. I post almost every day, often more than once. If you're tired of dead blogs, this is well worth checking out. If you are easily overwhelmed, this may not be the blog for you.
What are your most common topics?
Reading, writing, crowdfunding, poetry, networking, fantasy & science fiction, news, weblit, nature, gender studies.
How do you feel about crossposting?
It keeps communities active. Crossposting between your blog and any community is fine. Crossposting between unrelated communities is fine. Crossposting to lots of similar communities gets tedious if there's too much of it, but when traffic is low, any post is better than none at all.
Is your blog more text-heavy or image-heavy?
Text-heavy. Occasionally I post photo-essays of my yard.
Do you paste in or link to a lot of audio or video content?
Not a lot, but occasionally. Most of my links go to text articles.
Do you use recurring posts, and if so, what topics?
Yes, see my Recurring Posts page here or click the tag in my blog.
Is your blog more personal, professional, topical, or a mix?
A mix, but more professional and topical than purely personal. I have friends who use me as a newsfeed because they like the articles I link to.
Is it all open, all friendslocked, or somewhere in between?
Open. I almost never use the lock feature. Once something goes online, it's not really private, so I tend to post only things that I want to be generally visible.
What kinds of friends would you like to attract to your blog?
Tolerant, open-minded people who enjoy discussing big topics.
Do you participate in creative bingo, fests, challenges, memes, holiday festivities, or other blogging events? If so, what are some of your favorite ones?
I love creative bingo and often make cards on
What is your friending policy, if any?
Read mine here.
Your Blog-reading Habits
How often do you check your friends feed?
Erratically.
About how much time do you spend reading blogs?
It varies. I have a few that I check regularly. I can forget about my friends feed for days or weeks, then spend hours scrolling through hundreds of posts.
How active do you like a blog to be?
At least one post a week helps keep it in my mind. I really like daily-posting blogs. But I read some with lower traffic too.
What kinds of blogs or topics do you most enjoy reading?
I like art or photography blogs with images. I like writer's blogs too. Topical ones on favorite subjects are great fun. I'm less interested in purely personal blogs.
What are some of your favorite individual blogs on Dreamwidth?
What are some of your favorite communities on Dreamwidth?
I run
Some other favorites include
Currently...
Listening to: birdsong and wind outside.
Reading: How to Invent Everything.
Watching: Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Proud of: I finished the Unsold Poetry List.
no subject
Name: Meep
Pronouns: she/her & æ/ær
Your other online venues: personal site, poetry site,
Your approximate location: Tokyo, Japan (originally from New England, USA)
What languages do you speak? English (native/fluent), Japanese (conversational/survival), Dutch (beginner)
What are some of your favorite hobbies? crochet, doll collecting & photography, writing, trying to get (back) into quilting…
What media is important to you? I have a whole collection dedicated to this question.
Do you have pets? I have a black cat named Tiamat.
What does your average day look like? I'm a full time librarian at an international school in Tokyo. I try to get up early so I have time to create (crochet, write) and watch TV before I go to work because I come home worn out pretty much every day. (I have energy limiting chronic illness(es) so I'm always tired.)
What is your Dreamwidth blog like? It's a diary that I let other people read.
How active is it? I update (at least) once a day on most days.
What are your most common topics? Recent post topics, in reverse-chronological order: going (back) to grad school, medical/dental woes, Jewish conversion (in progress), secularization of yoga/media analysis, growing old(er), a trip I took to Enoshima over a long weekend, and my daily life at work. I also post about my feelings on (so-called) "AI" [negative], surviving a cult [funny in hindsight!], and querying agents [soul crushing].
Is your blog more text-heavy or image-heavy? I'd say my posts are overwhelmingly text-based but I'm trying to embed photos more often. I like to link back and cross-reference posts, photos, etc.
Is your blog more personal, professional, topical, or a mix? 1,000% personal. Sometimes that includes writing about my day job or my writing career or a topic that's on my mind but the this is unfiltered, first draft diary stuff - not a polished, professional, public-facing blog.
Is it all open, all friendslocked, or somewhere in between? It's all friends only.
Do you use filters, and if so, what kinds? No but I will put potentially triggering content under a cut. (If we're mutuals, you're welcome to message me and ask for X to always be noted/under a cut!)
What are your policies on friending and granting access, if any? I'll add pretty much anyone.
How often do you check your friends feed? Usually twice daily: once before work and once after. I comment when I feel like I have something to say and/or when someone indicates in their post that they're seeking advice, feedback, etc.
What kinds of blogs or topics do you most enjoy reading? I like to read about other people's daily lives, deep thoughts, shower thoughts, anything. It's an intimate kind of sharing that I appreciate [I am "from" LiveJournal] but don't find on other platforms.
What are some of your favorite communities on Dreamwidth? I started a doll collecting community here -
Listening to: 5-4 (podcast)
Reading: In the Dream House, The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Rest of Us Just Live Here (+ any of a number of picture books that I'm reading for work and/or craft study)
Watching: High Potential and The Rings of Power
Wondering about: grad school applications…
Planning for: the [Jewish] holiday season

It's cute how she loves them and gives them a second chance at life.
That's wonderful. I have thought about traveling to Japan someday. It seems to be a country that offers a-lot!
Yes ...
I've seen some epic doll makeovers, whether it's doing Barbie with a more natural look or turning a doll into a fantasy figure.
Re: Yes ...
woah..
I always wanted to live in Japan when I was younger, I'm glad it's finding you well!!

Unsure if you mean producers or characters, so I’ll answer with both!
I, of course, like Miku, but I also really love the Kagamine twins. Teto and Gumi probably have my favorite voices!
As for producers, I’m a big fan of PinocchioP’s works, as well as RIProducer! I’m in a unique position of really liking DECO*27’s songs, but not really liking how he tunes, heheh.

>> How do you feel about crossposting? I'm new to it? <<
Crossposting is when you take the same thing and put it in multiple places, with maybe a few little tweaks, like making a post on your blog and and in a community. People commonly crosspost to several places when advertising an event. I made an advertising post for

Re: Call me Ishmael!
It's linked in the main post, so you can go back and click that if you want to read more. Basically it tells people what they can do with any of your work, for instance, if you welcome translations or podfics or whatever.

I'll go with "Up is Hell." Down there light is dangerous. It can be used as a defense mechanism, but being seen means being more likely to get eaten.
Re: Call me Ishmael!

Welcome!
This is a low-pressure community that mostly posts "how to do the things" and occasionally has people asking questions. Patience is preferred because this community is designed for people new to Dreamwidth (plus more experienced users who want to help).
There are many forms of neurodiversity, not all of which have been codified. In any case, the idea is to work with the brain you have.

Some folks like to start their reading page with communities based on their interests, which makes it easier to find blogs on similar topics and make friends with common interests.
Re: Good day.
That's fine. Thank you for mentioning that. I have added a note to the opening that invites people to do this if they want.
>>I'm agender. This means that I don't belong to any gender. However, I prefer to use he/him pronouns.<<
I'm genderqueer and don't have a strong pronoun preference.
>> I don't want to talk about where I live exactly. I prefer to dream that I live somewhere in an unreal world, because I'm bored to live in reality.<<
I spend a lot of time in other universes because this society is horrid.
>>However, there are some things that can somehow make me happy. I like to read books. I have moments when I can get really carried away by a book and spend whole days on it.<<
That's good.
>>I also have a houseplant. It’s a gift. I can’t say that I know how to take care of plants. It’s probably not really my thing.<<
First, identify what plant it is, because they have different needs. If you're not sure, there are resources.

About Your Blog
What is your Dreamwidth blog like?
-It's going to be very fandom based, maybe a personal post here and there but very few if any, I do have a very specific tagging system so it'll be easy to filter by fandom
How active is it?
-Ideally I'll be posting a few times a week (right now I'm posting a lot because I'm archiving tumblr stuff)
What are your most common topics? (Use Manage Tags and Sort by: usage to find this.)
-web weaving (that's what I'm archiving from tumblr) - I imagine it'll eventually be the Silmarillion though
Is your blog more text-heavy or image-heavy?
-image heavy right now, will probably switch to text-heavy later
Is it all open, all friendslocked, or somewhere in between?
-at the moment everything is public and I don't really see myself ever changing that honestly - if I really want something to be private I will simply not be posting it on the internet haha
What kinds of friends would you like to attract to your blog?

-Missing Home by flora cash

-Unfinished Tales of Númenor & Middle Earth | On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder
Playing games:
-I play sporadically but I'm in the middle of playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom whenever I get back to it
Planning for:
-how to use dreamwidth & how to finish the next chapter of the fic I'm writing
Hello!
>> -writing and reading mainly <<
There are many communities on these topics, so here's a sample:
A community for people who enjoy writing 100 word drabbles.
Helping fanfic writer hopefuls.
>> -Mainly into the Silmarillion fandom right now! <<
Fan writing and art focused on J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion.
>> non-fandom I like reading a variety of different poetry <<
I host a Poetry Fishbowl in blog on the first Tuesday of each month. I set a theme, folks give me prompts for it, and I write things based on that inspiration. Next up will be Ethical Supervillains on May 6. Come check it out and watch the fun.
Also a ton of my poetry is posted online in the Poem tag on DW, or use the Serial Poetry page to follow related sets. But make sure you've got time for reading, because people have lost whole weekends down that rabbit hole.
>> Do you have a transformative works statement / blanket statement?
-uh no I should probably make one at some point though <<
It would be very helpful to have that before you start joining communities where it's relevant, and especially before Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (April 25-May 15).

-Ideally I'll be posting a few times a week (right now I'm posting a lot because I'm archiving tumblr stuff) <<
Yay! Watch for people who say that they're having a hard time finding active blogs. You're right in the sweet spot for many of them, not too slow or too fast.
>> -at the moment everything is public and I don't really see myself ever changing that honestly - if I really want something to be private I will simply not be posting it on the internet haha <<
Yeah, that tends to be my approach too.
>>Do you participate in creative bingo, fests, challenges, memes, holiday festivities, or other blogging events? If so, what are some of your favorite ones?
-I do sometimes! I don't participate in a lot but I'm going to do the tolkien reverse big bang this summer which will be fun!<<
Three Weeks for Dreamwidth (April 25-May 15) is the next big event, when folks celebrate the platform's birthday by posting things only on DW. It's a great time to make new friends while activity is high.
>>as far as friending I suppose we will...have to become friends? And then we can friend each other? I'm only half-sure I understand how this part works honestly.<<
Friending is about following each other's blogs. Some platforms automate it more than others. DW is more versatile, less automatic. If you hover over the userhead it will give you a menu that includes "Subscribe."
>>Planning for:
-how to use dreamwidth & how to finish the next chapter of the fic I'm writing<<
There are lots of resources here on how DW works, particularly in How To and Cohost Is Closing.
