ysabetwordsmithSome communities and individual blogs have annual activities or events that take place at a particular time. Fall/winter ones are running now. The holiday activities typically open in late summer or early fall, so completed works will be available in December or thereabouts. Many people like to pick several events to space out through the year.
Fannish activities often advertise in![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomcalendar and/or fandom_on_dw so watch those if this field interests you. Of these, fandomcalendar offers a convenient Frequency: Annual tag, although not all relevant posts use that tag. fandom_on_dw does not offer frequency tags, but is a popular place to post all types of fannish events.
Annual activities that have their own community (e.g. awards, fests) may appear in![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_community_promo. This is an official community and features comms about all topics, not limited to fandom. It's a good place to find new communities in general, too.
Do you run an annual event that you would like to feature on Dreamwidth? See this helpful guide to starting a DW community.
Other topics can be harder to hunt down because moderators often do not mark their community with interests such as "annual," "yearly," or other helpful descriptors of timing. You can still find them by watching your reading page for things that your friends are doing. Many events have banners that participants can use to promote them, and even with those that don't, you may see friends talking about what things they have signed up to do.
If you like "bleg" posts (short for "blog begging" where you ask questions of your audience) then this is a great topic for that. You can ask your friends what annual events they are doing and/or which ones they recommend for you.
