If You're Looking for Inspiration

[liz_marcs]

This morning posted an announcement that I had set up some syndicated feeds of LiveJournal communities for InsaneJournal members.

However, I think it's only fair to give people here a heads-up about these potentially fiction-inspiring comms that focus on abandoned and dilapidated places from around the world (and around your neighborhood).

See, I'm all about bringing the inspiration (the creepier the inspiration, the better).

Please note that all of these comms are very image-heavy and that LJ the cuts do not always spare the Flist

If you choose to watch these comms, you might want to create a special filter for them:

abandonedplaces
This is exactly what it sounds like. Photographs of any and all abandoned places regardless of environment or subject.

deadmachinery
This one features photos of junked machinery, be it abandoned and decaying military equipment, or that junk car by the side of the road artfully hidden by tall grass.

deathly_decayed
Like those creepy, overgrown, abandoned cemeteries? How about crypts and headstones that have seen better days? Well, then, this is the feed that's totally for you.

rundown_town
The purpose of this community is not just to record slowly dying small towns and villages, but also towns that are fighting back and hanging in there for a new revival.

rural_ruin
This community is all about photographs of abandoned spaces and places in a rural environment.

urban_decay
This community hosts photographs of abandoned spaces and places in an urban environment.


Also please note, if you're on InsaneJournal and prefer to do most of your FList reading there, I've already created the syndicated feeds on InsaneJournal that you can join.

Enjoy!

Wheeeee!

Like I said, be careful about them breaking the Flist. Some of the images above the cut can be large, and...this is the fun part...not all the communities enforce an LJ-Cut rule.

But these are gorgeous comms, aren't they?

Some of the photography is absolutely phenomenal. There's one image of an old elementary school basketball court with mist and mountains in the distance that's already yelling at me to be used for something. . . .

Abandoned Places specifically does not require LJ cuts. Folks can use them but are admonished not to complain when posters don't.

It is however requested that all posts be in English, or when there is text in another language, that it be translated.
