So what screen reader do you guys use? I assumed it was a waste of time for people like me (migraine-related situational impairment), because Windows Narrator has been *awful* to use for me. It never seems to read alt text or what I want it to.

In the moonlit haze, a shadow emerges from the depths of night, its obsidian coat glistening with ethereal sheen.

Hello, I designed a wandering shopkeeper character for a friend's project I'm a part of.

He may appear to be lost in thought, but I think he is simply thinking of something he has been yearning to eat for a while.

@xieliansbignaturals I use DW a ton so I've got some recs that could be of help:

An all around comm for newcomers, feel free to ask any questions there or browse previous posts: https://www.dreamwidth.org/captcha?returnto=https://newcomers.dreamwidth.org/

Same as above, though more centered around people who have come through specific platforms. Still good to browse through posts though for resources!
https://twitter-refugees.dreamwidth.org/
https://reddit-refugees.dreamwidth.org/

Some various comms where you can post an introduction with a template to find more like-minded people to follow you + find others to follow if you'd like (one is fandom journal centric too!):

Here's a general fandom/fannish discussion comm:

Hopefully these are of help!

#DecRecs day 2: The Lantern and the Night Moths by Yilin Wang. This is a collection of Chinese female poets translated into English, along with an essay on translation. I love reading about different translators’ process so this was a hit with me!

Fandom people, I’m curious: if you like being on Fedi and you’ve stayed active for a while, what keeps you here?

If you’re new (or if you remember why you joined), what brought you here?

Hello fandom fedi!

With all the new users on the fedi I thought we could have a good ol' fashioned friending meme. Just copy and paste the below questions into a post, answer as many or as few as you want! Make sure you use the fandomfriendingmeme hashtag and post a reply here with a link to your thread! It's fine to post your answers over multiple posts in a thread! Then, find 2-3 peoples posts to comment on! My hope is this will help people strike up conversation and community on our little corner of the fedi.

Thank you for your participation and have fun!

Right now, there are two massive PWYW bundles (over 100 titles between them) going on that include a ton of all-ages friendly games!

One is full of cozy TTRPGs and the other is full of printable stocking stuffers! There's links to both in today's TTRPGkids article, and I hope they help you find some sweet games to try out this month:

Good job Mastodon! The sad and seemingly abandoned “Poetry Mailbox” in #bremerton #washington has been restocked with hundreds of your poems!
I printed them out and cut them into shapes, and my wife decorated them too!

Submit yours so we can keep it full! #poetry #amwriting #writing

Today is the first day of #DecRecs , join me in reccing some things in December?

The "rules" are simple: rec some things you like during December and use tag them with #DecRecs

Things can be anything: art, fiction, nonfiction, fanfiction, tea, recipes, crafts are just some of the things people have recced in the past

You can rec as much or as little as you like. Some people rec everyday and some people only rec a few things. Both are great

So share some stuff you love with us!

Hello! This is a new account for promoting fandom events across the Fediverse. The events don’t need to be exclusive to fandom or the Fediverse, but they do need to:

1. Have some amount of presence on the Fediverse
2. Allow people to participate without an account on other social media (requiring AO3/Discord/etc. is okay)
3. Be fandom-inclusive in some way - I don’t want event organizers getting mad that they’ve been promoted here!

If you know of an event that fits those requirements and you don’t see it in this account’s “Events that are currently happening” pinned post, please feel free to reach out. Self-promotion is encouraged!
