Make a Mini Zine Month: I made a zine!
I made a zine about a few of my favorite people to teach about in US History part 1. Unless I messed up the link, you should be able to see it here.
I made it using this template that I made in Slides.

Retro Mod Feedback
I regularly contact mods of old lj communities, and usually I don't get a response. But in June, I got three!
From
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
tinebrella, blueymcphluey, and _puchula_ . All of them were happy to be asked and gave us permission for their challenge posts. \o/One of them,
tinebrella, specifically sent greetings to all of us! She said:
Tell everyone I said hi, if there's anyone from the old days that might remember me, I miss you all!

it's International Zine Month!
As created decreed noted by Stolen Sharpie Revolution, July is International Zine Month and they have a whole slate of 31 prompts for IZN :D
Echo Zines also has prompts -- a Zine Month bingo -- and has collected up a cute third set geared around minizines; both of which prompt sets can be found here ~
makezines doesn't have an activity planned, yet -- but what about a low-key sort of thing? :3?
How about Make A Minizine Month?
On any topic! Borrow one or more of the prompts linked above, or posted to the comm here, or anything else you might like!

Western Meet and Greet
Lots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth. While researching community activities, I came across the idea of thematic meet and greet events. That seemed like something which might work here, given a membership of several hundred people and a new theme each month. So I made one for this month's theme. It gives people a place to meet folks with similar interests, and to squee about the current theme.
Here is the basic outline. Fill in as much or as little of it as you wish, depending on your interests as they relate to the Westerns Bingo Fest.

Western Bingo Fest
The Western Bingo Fest will run from July 1-31. The theme is Westerns and it spans a wide range of subgenres and time periods. Bring out your favorite Wild West fandoms, or contemporary west, or spaghetti western SF ... whatever shines your buckle. Prompt lists include Animals, Characters, Famous Westerns, Motifs, Plots, Quotes, Settings, Songs, and Subgenres. There is a 3x3 card for each prompt list plus a 5x5 mixed card. You can also make your own. See the Western Meet and Greet.
Also on the Bingo Card Generator:
Robert Plutchik's 1980 list of emotions
Color words by Guinevak
Death
Desperate Situations
H/C Bingo (multiple rounds)
Music
Time Periods
* These bingo patterns are relevant to this fest.
-- Camping
-- Horse
-- Nature
* Challenges! These are prompts that make the bingo card more exciting. You can add them to any category, or skip them, as you choose. They do let you claim multiple fills from one work.
=Frontier= match nearest border square with prompt from its opposite border,
=Fastest Gun= write adjacent prompt in 60 minutes or less,
=Long Road= double the fill size of adjacent prompt,
=Ride 'em Cowboy= whole line stuffed into one big fill,
=Waterholes= any 5 prompts make a bingo,

Just one thing: 01 July 2025
It's challenge time!
Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.
Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!
Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!
Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.
Go!

Friending Meme
Maybe you struck up a conversation while you waited in line for the roller coaster. Maybe you and a questionably large group of friends all tumbled out of a van and walked in together. However it happened, you're now here at the Carnival with your friends. The best experiences are all the richer for having fun and interesting people to share them with. Let's all get to know each other and make some friends to hold our hands during the scary rides or split a basket of fries with.
Feel free to post your answers in the comments or on your own journal and share a link. See you around the fairgrounds!

Welcome to Winter Fest in July. spiralicious and I (vexed_wench) will be your guest host for the month.
We love all things winter and Christmas. We realize that not everyone has fandoms or original universes that support that. We tried to come up with a few lists that could fit into almost any ‘verse.
Feel free to use any prompt how they speak to you. I have them separated just to make the list a bit more manageable.
For example, if you use a movie or music prompt, feel free to just work off the title or you can remix the movie, it's up to you. Or however else it moves you.
As usual, there will be banners at the end of the month. Also, fills can be made of anything; fic, poetry, vid, podfics, recs, or handcrafts. Art, icons, and wallpapers are nice as well. If you think of any medium not listed, that’s cool too.
This is a winter fest-themed month, so why not share some of your favorites and rec yours or someone else's work.
Anything goes this month. The only limit is your imagination.
And once again, thank you for being our guest. Cue the candle song!
There is a public card at the bottom of this post, or feel free to make your own here.
You can mix or match any of the prompts below or pick your own if you like.
Most of all, we hope you have fun!
