Follow Friday

[ysabetwordsmith]

Follow Friday is a practice that people can do on their individual blogs and/or the followfriday community. This is an opportunity to find new blogs to read and communities to enjoy, highlight your own, and/or recommend some favorites that you already follow.

This week's gather post is up on followfriday now.

See also Follow Friday 10-4-24: Fantasy for a list of communities on that theme. Each week has a new topic.

What are some of your favorite blogs and communities on Dreamwidth?

The Friday Five

[ysabetwordsmith]

thefridayfive is a weekly community that presents a list of 5 questions each week.  You answer them on your blog, then post a link in a comment under the questionnaire post.  It's a great way of getting to know people, plus it keeps your blog active.

This week's questionnaire is about flowers. 

The community is always looking for suggestions of questions to ask.  You can submit a set of 5 questions on Dreamwidth or on LiveJournal.

Blanket Statements

[ysabetwordsmith]

A Blanket Statement is also called a Transformative Works Policy, Permissions, and various other terms that you may see on a post, sticky post, profile, fest guidelines, or other places. It tells readers what a given creator allows other people to do with their work, or not. For instance, people may give permission to record podcasts, translate text into other languages, draw fanart, and so on. If you don't want anyone else to use your stuff, or want them to ask first, then you can say that too. Realistically, though, anything you choose to share online could get picked up and used in ways you never intended, so think before you post. Most people respect a blanket statement most of the time.
