Three Weeks for Dreamwidth: Review Fest

[viklikesfic]

Today kicks off three_weeks_for_dw, and thus our review fest here at feminist50! There aren't any specific rules or goals for the review fest: this is just an opportunity to get some content up on the comm and for all of us to challenge ourselves to read feminist, woman-centric, and woman-positive books. You choose what you read, you decide when to post a review. The only rule is that when you post a review for the fest, it needs to stay on DW only for three weeks.

Follow the usual guidelines for reviews found in the community FAQ, but please tag your review fest entries "three weeks for dreamwidth" and "review fest."

I'll be tagging entries on this community as usual, but using those tags signals your intent to keep the content on DW for three weeks, making it eligible for the fest. Thanks and I look forward to reading your reviews!

Three Weeks for Dreamwidth: Recs Fest (Women of Color)

[viklikesfic]

Along with the review fest mentioned in the last post, we're doing a themed recs fest for three_weeks_for_dw. Whether or not you have any new books to review, please feel free to join us in these theme posts by commenting with some books you have to recommend that fit the theme. You can rec as many or as few books as you like, and provide as much or as little information as you like. You can also make recs and then write a detailed review of some of your choices in a separate post if you find yourself getting wordy. If you just want to make a list, that's fine, too! I will compile a list of the books recommended for each theme in the post body, and then at the end of the fest I will post a master list.

So! The first theme is... (drumroll please)... women of color! We're starting with a very broad theme in hopes that lots of you will be able to come up with some recommendations--you can recommend fiction, non-fiction, or poetry written by women of color, fiction where women of color are central characters, non-fiction about women of color, whatever you think fits. If you're not writing anything about the recs but just doing a list, please do note whether books are fiction or non-fiction.

Comments are open, rec to your heart's content!
