Bastard's Notebook

Psh, don't worry, not everybody is fanfic! Also, DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF MINE: On Dreamwidth? If you're a paid user, which you are? You can have extra special duper filters that filter out posts by tags on your default view, and I use that on fannish people I watch who don't post nothing but fandom. (And I don't think I'd watch somebody who posted only fandom, just 'cause, well, not my thing.)

chebe is amazing and I think you two would get along SMASHING.

matgb is interesting and a politico on the other side of the pond, in Britain, and miss_s_b is along the same lines except I don't know her as well and I am TOO SHY TO JUST FRIEND HER or something.

john has been busy lately, but sometimes posts about travel stuff.

I love redroanchronicles posts about horsey pictures.

charmian for meta about social networking and the web.

Maybe pne? Nonfandom, German.

poetry if you like people sharing poetry they like that IS NOT theirs (might fall under your fic ban, though), wtf_nature where I post OMG NATURE sometimes, common_nature for just people observing the nature around them and whatnot, omnomnom for food. bicycles IF you are a bike person (you very well may not be).

Also try skimming your network page filtered to journals and comms, excluding feeds. Or hey, include the feeds if you want (take off the show=PC at the end). Also skim the latest page. For instance, I found moonvoice doing art there.

On the DW-meta side of things, watch dreamscapes if you're the kind of person who'd like to critique possible DW styles in the making. Sometimes I post fun things to memewidth or dw_nifty.

SIDEPOINT: If you use Firefox, I recommend this script.

I will probably think of more.
