dialecticdreamer is running a prompt call all month in December! Leave prompts, get ficlets. \o/ MOAR GOODEEZ for everyone! If you're looking for fun activities, or a new writer to follow, this is worth exploring.

This whole month I hope to fill with prompted stories, to celebrate my lovely readers and surviving the first quarter of the twenty-first century. It’s been jam-packed with crises and chaos, hasn’t it? Time to take a story break… or thirty.

melannen has a post on "How To Make Your Own Fanfiction Archive, In Just 10 Easy Steps" for Neocities. You can use this to post your fanworks, original content, etc. You can also use it to create an index with titles, descriptions, and links -- not just for your own work but for recommended works. Dreamwidth does well with a short reclist, but the longer it gets, the more awkward that is to do here.

It's good to back up your work, even if you already post it in full on Dreamwidth or other sites. Right now is a very precarious time for the internet, with many platforms closing, severely misbehaving, or adding restrictions that make them less attractive. Also, some sites have become inaccessible for people, so multiple platforms broaden your potential audience.

Heylo everyone, and happy Friday Eve!! I've been posting fic ~~and screeching around~~ on DW for a while now, so much so that I've made the decision to transfer most (if not all) of the fic I've posted on AO3 to here!!

The snag I've run into is that I DO have quite a few chaptered fics that I've written, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on some ways that folks have posted chaptered fics to DW? I did a search and couldn't find much of anything for this specific scenario, so figured I'd ask here just in case! Thanks in advance!! ^ o^)/ 💕

EDIT 5/7/25: Thanks so much for all the input thus far, everyone!!

EDIT 7/16/25: Circling back to link another method from

zavodilaterrarium for the curious!! Thanks so much for sharing all the resources, everyone!! ❤️

A friend asked me about how to post fiction or other writing on Dreamwidth. Lots of people don't post their content here, just a thumbnail description and a link to it on some other service. This is very frustrating to readers who aren't on that other service and thus can't see the content. Therefore, it's best to post content here, and then you can crosspost it wherever else you want for wider exposure. There are plenty of people who do this, in various approaches. I encourage posting whole creative content here, so let's explore some ways of doing that.
