findthatbookThis community is a revival of "What Was That Book" from livejournal.
DW already has a similar community, but it is not very active, and I think that may be making people reluctant to join. I am hoping that making a new home specifically for the existing community will get it up and running again.
WWTB had nearly daily posts on LJ. If the community would migrate over, we would be active again in no time. So if you have posted there in the past year, please consider coming over here. (And if your book has not been found yet, feel free to repost, as we're starting with a blank slate here.)
Please pass the word, ask your friends to join. I know some people will only join if they see that the community is active, but for that we first need to have members... Give it a try; there's nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
If you don't have a DW account and not sure if you want one, well, imagine if there was a website called findthatbook.com or whatwasthatbook.com; would it be worth making an account to have access to that community and its resources? Even if you don't want a new journal, it might still be worth coming here just to find those lost books. Something to consider. :)

Date: July 4th, 2017 01:04 (UTC)Just to clarify, this is lightgreendryad from the old whatwasthatbook in LJ. I did quite a bit of low-level maintenance there, and I'd be glad to do so here, as well.
SoundofSunlight, do you anticipate wanting or needing maintainers/mods once this gets going?
