The bonfire dances as a crowd enters the field.

There is a sign in the clearing:

Take 3 pinecones from the basket. The first pine cone is to burn away the old year. The second is to wish in the new year. And the third is a gift to the world.

You may do what you wish with the pinecone if you don't have something to match with its representation -- keep it or toss it in the flames without a guide.

Have a happy New Year!

Approach the fire and toss in a wish.

This idea snagged from upstart_crow. On New Years Eve, we will be posting 3 blogposts on thedreamersunited -- for the Dreamwidth New Years virtual bonfire party. Anonymous Commenting will be enabled and we will be freezing comments as fast as we possibly can if drama breaks out.

anonymous commenting will be on and the posts will be kinda narrative because we feel like it. Each of you will get 3 pinecones equivalent to each post. you can choose to not burn one, if you don't have something to match with that post.

Said Posts will be:

1. something to burn away - anything you want to burn away from the past year.
2. something to spark - a wish - make a wish for the new year and no you don't have to say the wish, unless you so choose. :) I'm not that evil.
3. something to shine - is there a gift you'd like to send out?

On our other journal dreamwriteremmy, we'll be posting a friending meme to drawthecircle for the new year [because LJ has a new years friending meme and dreamwidth should too].

We're the Dreamers United...

We're kind of complicated. We identify as a dual-gateway system -- Two gateways, interconnected to one body, managed as two-different subsystems, the Not Just A Puppet Collective and the Bridger-Crawford Family. Our functioning is somewhere between Gateway, Median and Multiple. Most of the time, whomever is fronting is a team of co-fronters; sometimes it's just simply an unclear blendy of a few people who aren't very recognizeable at the time. And very frequently, the subsystems are blendy themselves.

Part of this constant "life-sharing" we attribute to our miniscule ruleset that underlines something quite similar to the concept of cohousing. A sustainable community focusing on everyone playing a part and being a big neighborhood of sorts.

Our gateway focuses around the Common House (basically a headspace area with bedrooms, kitchen and dining room, library, science labs, gym, study, a memorial/prayer room known as "the candle room" [because there are lots of candles in it], and a parlor area) and has a function quite similar to Howl's Moving Castle. It has access to: The Front which is also referred to as "America" from time-to-time, The Loveless Universe, The Princess Tutu Universe, The Pretear universe, an AU of Kingdom Hearts, an AU of Castlevania, the setting of the Tears of Artamon series, an AU of Naruto, the OS-tan universe, Betony & Company's world, a world known as Paixao, and Ruby & Company's world.
