Doctor Who comms on Dreamwidth
So, comms have always been tricky on Dreamwidth. Maybe there are some truly active ones out there, but by and large there's never been that critical mass to make them lively. Up to this point it's been far, far easier to just lure your friends over to Dreamwidth or find a few new ones through your network and have your fannish life be in people's journals.
But right now? I think there's a chance of making a few of them take off.

gallifrey_times has compiled a list of active Doctor Who comms and a list of inactive Doctor Who comms on Dreamwidth. Note: the distinction between active and inactive comms on DW is . . . a somewhat academic one.
I'm seriously considering subscribing to the whole list and just seeing if any of them rise from the dead. The upside of DW is that there's no real downside to subscribing to as many comms as you want. Most will sit there and maybe spit an interesting tidbit to you a couple times a year. But maybe this time one or two will do more.

Although I know at least one person who proclaims that context is for the weak, I usually look at what the conversation's on about, and I can pretty much figure which DW we're talking about. That isn't to say that it hasn't occasionally thrown me for a loop. You could also do DW for Who, and Dw for Dreamwidth.
And it looks as if your picture's either from Spirited away or Whisper of the Heart.

Hmmm. DW vs. Dw might work. Or, probably, I'll just write them both as DW and trust people to figure it out.

I've never seen Whisper of the Heart. You really think it could be Spirited Away? It doesn't look like it to me. I guess if it is it would be from the driving montage right at the beginning.
I thought it was maybe Ponyo for awhile, as seaside cliff roads feature so heavily in that, but I don't think Ponyo has such a built-up looking urban area in it.
