It also doubles as the_dw_refuge these days - LiveJournal or Dreamwidth, if they're down, here's where you can come.
This comm is for two purposes:
1. When LJ or DW is down and/or not working properly, you can find (or post) updates on the situation here, as well as use the comm as a multifannish noticeboard where everyone can announce whatever is currently going on here at IJ.
2. In addition to that, whether LJ or DW is down or you're avoiding either one of them for other reasons, this is also a place to find other fans/fannish communities.
