Top 5 Darker communities...

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

OK. So, so far I am only a member of a few, but what the heck! These darker communites kick so much ass, they had to mentioned. :-P And to find more Darker-communiteis, might I suggest checking the_darker_ring out, were new darker communites are being pimped. ;-) Right then. On with the list!

Item Title or Description:
Creators Name/Mods: sexymermaid and japeweird. (Created 2005-04-29)
Rating: Oh, this is a darker community, so yeah, VERY mature...
Warnings: See rating.
Link: darker_spike
Why I chose this: The mother off them all. This was the first darker community that popped up. And man, am I glad it did! It is extremly active, and there is a HUGE bunch of talented people there. Sometimes it is so active it floods my f-list, but I don't care. I wouldn't wanna miss any off it... So much... Fanfics, fanart, anything you want all delicious dark, sick, wrong.... Well, more or less at least. And I am so amazed with sexymermaid who everyday give a daily recs list of things one might wanna check out, and lists all the entries in the current challenges going on.

Item Title or Description:
Creators Name/Mods:bittersweet_art, ely_jan and gingerpig . (Created 2005-09-27.)
Rating: Darker community... So, yeah. Mature.
Warnings: See rating.
Link: a_darker_angel
Why I chose this: Angel or Angelus. There is darkness, isn't there? Oh yeah. Alot of Angelus there is, and I do love it so. The sickness, the torture, whatever it is, I am reading, I am watching. I am such a sucker for evil vampires... This community is quite not as active as Darker Spike, but the work posted is oh so wonderfully done! Fanart or fanfics, it doesn't matter. The quality is very high.

Item Title or Description:
Creators Name/Mods: bittersweet_art, ely_jan, pet_23, queen_mecha and gingerpig. (Created )
Rating: Like the other two. Very mature.
Warnings: See rating.
Link: darker_faith
Why I chose this: Well, it is the darker of the two slayers, right? And I have always thought that Faith was way cooler then Buffy, but that might be just me. *grin* I love her attitude, her way off speak. Her sadness. Her toughness. And sometimes evilness. All is explored in this community. Not very active, but the fanfic and fanart that is posted, is well worth it...

Item Title or Description:
Creators Name/Mods: anidada, comedy42, laura_isaac, psychoadept and selene2. (Created 2005-11-01)
Rating: You guessed it. Mature, mature....
Warnings: See rating.
Link: darker_giles
Why I chose this: There is so much more to Rupert "Ripper" Giles then meets the eye. He has a darkness in him that I do so love. And the people here is great at exploring this! A lot of slash, not so surprisingly, perhaps. But there is other things to. Alot of talent in this community as well. Fanart, fanfic, you'll find it all here. High quality, although not so active, but what is posted, is all very nicely done.

Item Title or Description:
Creators Name/Mods: atomic_eyes and tehnoodle. (Created 2005-10-23)
Rating: Not so hard now, is it? Yeah, mature. :-)
Warnings: See rating.
Link: darker_buffy
Why I chose this: A dark Buffy you say? Is it possible? Oh yes. :-) Seeing her in season 6 should have thought people that. :-P If nothing else the people writing and doing artwork here can teach you. Lovely stuff all around. Some femme-slash shows up here to, wish makes me love this even more. It is dark, it is fanfic and fanart of high quality. What more can one ask? :-)

I am a member of the first two communities on your list and I concur with your assessment of them as all-around stellar groups! I very much enjoy the work that is posted therein!

Yeah, they are! Alot of members post in all places so some crossposting are made, but what the heck! I don't think that matter. :-) Alot of talented people in all of them. :-)

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

There are definitely a lot of talented people in those groups!

This is really great that the community mods get such praise for all their efforts this year. They're all active comms and it must take a lot of time and effort, with less thanks than you'd expect. So this is a great idea. Thank you!
Sometimes it is so active it floods my f-list, but I don't care.
A good way to be! I would imagine that the activity is especially good for newbies to keep up with what's going on in the darker side of the fandom.
Sorry for the multiple posts, not having a good day!

I agree. I am so impressed with mods of communities it is amazing! I have a commuity myself, even if it isn't that active. :-P

Thank you, Kseenaa, I'll be sure to let Jape know, I'm sure she'll be touched as well as Frimmy. *hugs* I'm a member of a few of these too. :)

I'm pleased people enjoy DS.

No wonder we do! We all have a kink-lover in us, and it is great to have such a friendly place to let that kinky-lover out at, you know what I mean? :-D

*adores you so much*

Thank you so much - thrilled to pieces that you are enjoying both communities! *bounces* We're loving the quality of the work people are posting as well - slow is fine, molasses in January slow...doesn't bother us a bit when someone posts something lovely and dark and killing me good.

*hugs you tight and twirls you round*

Thanks, darlin!

*grin* Well, of course I like it! Dru's Daddy one must adore... More a Angelus lover, then Angel lover here. And being a mod, you deserve the attention! ;-D

It's good to see the mods getting the praise they deserve. Lt's not forget darker_mr_gordo, though...

He. I didn't even know that one existed! *grin* Cool...
