community promotion

[ratcreature]

A while ago I wished that there was a fanart request community on Dreamwidth, i.e. a place where you could ask for fanart you'd like to see, and which in turn artists could browse for inspiration and ideas, and additionally have the opportunity to make someone happy with a fulfilled request. Like the fanfic kink memes in some fandoms, but with requests in posts, and tagged and thus easier to browse than comment threads. However I was too lazy to create and moderate such a comm myself, so I just described my idea in create_my_comm.

And now the fabulous noxie has created artondemand. It's still very new, but you should check it out.

Also, I just noticed in my profile that it's my one year anniversary on DW. And I got a comm as a gift. ;)

I'm happy someone created your comm! :) I should probably organize all the comms that were created as a result of postings in create_my_comm into a master post so that people can see that there IS a chance of getting their comms created from posting there (even if no one has made any of mine yet. XD)

[ratcreature]

yeah, or maybe just a tag for created comms that the post gets once the community is there.

I've been thinking about that, too. Certainly it would be less work for me than adding names to a master post (as someone else who didn't want to run a comm. XD)
