If I were to create a positivity community here on Dreamwidth for Ace, Aro, Intersex, Nonbinary, and/or Genderqueer folks (with occasional visits to binary trans folks, multisexual/Bi+ folks, and anyone else who could conceivably date a straight person, as needed/appropriate), would anyone be interested in, like, posting things to it? At all? 'Cuz I've got a potential name already picked out, I just don't want to be shouting into the void. And I think it would be nice to have an uplifting, positivity/solidarity community for folks here, where it's also easier to deal with any potential jerks.

IDK, any thoughts

Edit: The name would potentially be Inclusionists, Inc. Because I think it's cute, and it could also be shortened to Inc^2.

Edit 2: I've got some ideas going for what I think would be nice to have in this community over here, for anyone who wants to take a gander; as for me, I'm home from work, but wrestling with my computer now 9_9 I'll reply to more comments as soon as I can!

Edit 3: A poll for possible community names is up over here! Go check it out!

Edit 4: Potential community rules, a maaaaajor part of this community working, are up for review. Please take some time to go over them and offer input if you have the time!

Edit 5: The poll has settled, and the final name is queerly_beloved, which is now open! Please come visit and play :)

I totally feel you on that; I've got a nice suite of mental illnesses myself, with ADHD front and center, so I'm promising myself that I won't bite off more than I can chew with this, as much as I might feel I should.

Once the community gets up and running, something that can make a big impact for a relatively small amount of effort is leaving comments on posts people leave. Even something as simple as "Cool!" or a bunch of heart emojis can make someone's day. That said, lurkers will always be welcome at this comm, as long as I have any say in it, so if you're not up to comments, that'll be fine, too :)

Are you here at Dreamwidth via Tumblr? If so, here's a collection of links you might find useful; and here's my Dreamwidth tag on Tumblr, which should also have some useful stuff. I'll do my best to answer any questions you have, as well!

And, most importantly, welcome :) I know we can build something great together!
