Welcome to the new blog, I guess

Hi everyone! I'm Ruby (he/they), and I'm very new to Dreamwidth/LJ-format, so please bare with me while I figure it out.
This space is mostly going to be dedicated to my physical creative pursuits. I crochet, bind books/fanfic, tat (lacemaking not tattoos), and more. I mostly just want to document my projects here and talk about them a little bit. I also post about them a little over on my crafting side-Tumblr
hook-line-and-crocheter
That being said, I am open to possible including a few more topics on this blog
And yeah, I think that's it. Feel free to reach out to me, give me Dreamwidth advice, recommend communities (or music or books or shows of whatever).

I write, mostly fanfic but I have some original ideas floating around too. You can read my fics on fourohfourerror, and I post about them a little on my writing side-Tumblr
fourohfourrealitynotfound. My current fandoms I write for are Voltron and Lockwood & Co., but I'm re-watching Supernatural with the intent of getting into those fics soon. I currently don't plan on posting original writing that much beyond the snippets I occasionally do for flashfictionfriday on Tumblr

Date: 2024-01-04 11:25 pm (UTC)I joined from tumblr a while back and remember how much of a change it was, so I have a few helpful guides and resources that will hopefully get you started. This and this are guides written specifically for people transitioning from tumblr (the second one has a few outdated bits, but still has a lot of helpful tips). One cool feature that I love taking advantage of over here is the use of multiple icons/profile-pics. You can have up to fifty, I think, with a free account and up to 150 with a paid account. Very fun way to show off fandom interests. Also, you can set the level of privacy you want on each post. And tags work differently here, but they're great for organizing your content.
A few helpful guide for the basics:
Dreamwidth 101
Making Friends on Dreamwidth
Dreamwidth Starter Kit
A couple good communities for meeting people are
Hope some of this helps! Feel free to reach out with any questions! <3

I admire those crafts. Consider featuring them with recurring posts, so folks know what your blog is mainly about. You might also like

That canon is so great for fanfic. Don't limit yourself to the obvious. One of my favorites is the least likely mashup ever:
"Gone With the Wendigo" by bellatemple
>>I'm aroace and also enjoy discussing aspec topics (asexual and aromantic identities, community history, and the breakdown of social relationship hierarchies).<<
I have lots of aspec and other QUILTBAG folks in my audience and more than one series with aspec leads. See a list of my QUILTBAG characters.
