Three Weeks for Dreamwidth: Days 1 and 2

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:17:43 GMT

So I think for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I'm going to click on the "Random Community" link under the "Explore" tab everyday and write about the community I find. I'm psyched to maybe discover new, cool communities I might want to join, and introduce other people to stuff that might be interested in. I'm going to write about two communities today because I missed yesterday.

Day 1: filk

I don't really know anything about filk! My understanding is that it's fandom-inspired/related folk music? Maybe mostly for fantasy/sci-fi fandoms? I imagine it's popular at cons and stuff? Oh, I think I remember Howard and Raj doing a filky thing on Big Bang Theory. Anyway, one thing this community seems to do is promote a weekly podcast full of filk music. I'm listening to the latest episode now, and kinda digging it! So far, very traditional folk-style music with, yeah, some fantasy/sci-fi themes. Not quite my thing, but cool!

Day 2: bookcrossing

It looks like this is a community who participate in a kind of book exchange thing, in which people give away their books and keep track of where they end up. Like the Filk community, it looks like they have a non-DW site/web presence as well, and it all seems pretty active and well-organized.
