Hi Community Members!

I'm stepping down as co-admin, as my commitments elsewhere have increased.

If you're willing to take on the (really, really light) duties of co-admining, please contact fellow administrator azurelunatic.

Co-admining involves two general things:

1) Updating the Community Resources and Masterlist post (http://harrypotter.dreamwidth.org/profile)

2) Handling general administration duties, as needed! What that entails is pretty much up to you! :)

For any questions or future community-related things, please inquire with azurelunatic.

Thank you!

I am currently seeking a new administrator to co-admin with azurelunatic.

I need to step down as co-admin, as my commitments elsewhere have increased to the point where I am rarely on Dreamwidth.

If you're willing to take on the (really, really ridiculously light) duties of co-admining, please drop a comment on this post!

I would ask that you take over two specific duties from me, in addition to general co-admin things:

1) Updating the Community Resources and Masterlist post (http://harrypotter.dreamwidth.org/4855.html)

2) Creating a new 'contact a mod' post (http://harrypotter.dreamwidth.org/5690.html).

Leave a comment if you're interested! :)

We have a new community promo banner! HTML for linking can be found on the community profile page.


harrypotter is for discussion, meta, resource posts, rec posts, promo, fic/art searches, fanworks, promoting Dreamwidth-based Harry Potter events, and pretty much anything Harry Potter-related. We're a laid back, casual community. Feel free to drop in!

Hi harrypotter community!

I'm one of the co-admins for this community. I know that this is one of the oldest Harry Potter communities on Dreamwidth, and I'd like to see it become a neat community for HP fans. :)

I wanted to ask you for feedback about the shape of this community, and what you think it should do. I cobbled together a loose concept, based on comments from the post on late October.

Existing HP Communities on DW
DW will probably always be smaller than LJ, so I don't see any need for this community to replicate what other communities on DW do.

There's already a community for general fanworks (hp_fanfiction), and there's one for fanart (hp_fanart), and there's all kind of little ones for things like ships and slash and femmeslash, and even hp_add_me for things like finding other harry potter fans.

Directory of HP on DW
What DW doesn't have is a directory of all the HP-focused communities and fests/exchanges on DW, nor a space to do targeted HP community/event promotion, nor discuss HP things in general, nor run friending memes and the like.

My broad concept for the community would be something with a giant stickied post with a 'Master List' of all communities on DW for HP (organization would be something that would need to be hashed out) at the top of the community.

Thoughts for how to organize it?

( Further thoughts )

General Concept
So, the idea would be to have a general discussion/info/meta/'hey I did something cool' community, that also allowed for cross-community promotion and event promotion, where harrypotter would be a 'bulletin board' for HP fans on DW, which I think would fit a community that's got as general a name as harrypotter

Feedback, comments, suggestions, thoughts are all welcome! I'll probably let this post float for a week, and asking for feedback, before doing anything to specifically change the goals/purpose of the community. :)
