Welcome to Watchpoint: Gibraltar!

[solarbird]

Welcome to Watchpoint: Gibraltar, an Overwatch fan community on Dreamwidth! This is a central community for all things Overwatch. Game samples, screenshots, memes, links to fics, art, whatever. Keep it friendly - toxic bullshit gets n00ked.

JOIN the community to post. SUBSCRIBE to see it on your feed ("Reading page").

Yes, we're tumblr refugees, even if some of us have been here a while.

MEMES, PLAY SAMPLES, RANTING ABOUT NERFS:

Post that shit here! gfycat embeds work if you get the large preview link and embed it as an image. YouTube embeds just work like you'd expect.

FICS:

DO NOT post fics here directly, do post links to your posts on your journal, on AO3, or whatever.

Suggested post format:

Title: [title]
URL: [url]
Pairing(s): [pairings]
Rating: [rating]
Other notes: [other notes, if any]
Summary: [summary]

And, of course, tag your posts with widowtracer/gingerspider/blueberry lemon tea/widowtracerly/pharmercy/mekamechanic/speedy recovery/whatever. If the tag doesn't exist yet in this comm let me know, I'll add it.

ART:

NSFW: Link to your art, rather than posting it here directly.

SFW: Link or post here, either is fine.

META/DISCUSSION/RECOMENDATIONS:

Here's best, but links are good too. And introduce yourself! Because it's a new community and people like that. ^_^

SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES:

widowtracer - all Widowmaker/Lena "Tracer" Oxton/Emily, all the time
mekamechanical - all Mekamechanic, all the time

Quick thought on this community before I forget to mention. We should have:
1) some kind of friending-fest once we get enough members
2) a way for people to connect for PUGs/otherwise playing together?

That's a neat pair of ideas. Maybe start a post for gamertags?

Of course, if people want to post their own tags, that'd be a good intro... (σ❛ᴗ˂̵)σ✧

Hello, we're Watchpoint Gibraltar, a comm line for tracking and compiling fan events for the Overwatch fandom, from character/ship weeks and zines, to Big Bangs and exchanges. You probably know us from tumblr (overwatchevents) and twitter (ovwevents) but we recently moved to dreamwidth at overwatchevents, and we're trying to turn ourselves into an actual community that can host events, too.

Would you be interested in giving us a shout out? We could put you on our affiliate list (@ carrd.co, linked in our profile)
