◼ The Grieving Room homepage & Diary List
Group founded 2011 by Dem in the heart of Texas — The Grieving Room is a Monday evening series for those who are experiencing grief or loss. And diaries of those going through the loss of a person or pet, whether recent or long ago. Or yet to happen. And those that come to console because they too have gone through the fire. A safe space.
◼ IGTN Diary List & homepage
founded 2011 by JaxDem — I Got the News Today is intended to honor, respect, and remember the fallen, and to remind us that each casualty has family and friends who received the terrible news that their loved one has died at war. These memorial diaries are an important service to those who have died, and show our community's respect for our fallen brothers and sisters.

<big>FOUNDED Jan 8, 2023 by tonyahky — This group's purpose is to explore ways to create workable child care collectives that will help parents of young children who cannot afford or access traditional day care centers. I also hope to discuss news articles, and the social/political issues surrounding child care.</big>

<big>FOUNDED Dec 27, 2022 by BeninSC — This group is for story writers. Cronesense wrote a number of Storytime diaries around 2006/2007, and they were so good, it seemed worthwhile to resuscitate the idea.</big>

see also the tag-pages for poetry and fiction, etc., and SOME RELATED GROUPS/SERIES are:
◼ FreeWriters Homepage & story list
A place for original writing that veers outside the more common DKos categories. Personal narrative, short story, poetry and more are welcome.
◼ Progressive Friends of the Library Newsletter Homepage & story list
We advocate for social justice and equal library access for all. We support your local libraries and literacy programs. We also invite you to publish your diaries here that offer library news and support, book reviews, reviews of articles, as well as reviews of video games and other electronic media in our tech talk diaries. We ask for and offer reader guidance for the love of reading, for the love of books and for the love of everything which is your library experience... With budget cuts to libraries nationally, we offer our support of all progressive library issues in a clear cut case where the library is the truly last fully socialized institution in America with equal access to all and we must never lose it. With libraries closing across America we need your help and support. Thank you for your support of library issues.
◼ Readers and Book Lovers Homepage & story list including the Write On! writing skills/practice series (founded January 2009).
Where readers, writers, bibliophiles, and lovers of all things literary find their favorite series and one-of-a-kind diaries, including "Bookflurries," "Write On!," "Books So Bad They're Good." "Contemporary Fiction Views," "LGBT Literature," [and more]. We hope you'll visit Readers & Book Lovers for the same reasons you get together with a friend -- for the community of like-minded people who share your passion for the written word in all its forms -- and that you'll stay because you're always welcome. Members of R&BL know "people who love books never go to bed alone."
◼ KosLit Homepage & story list
A group for the sole purpose of republishing (and, perhaps, occasionally directly publishing) particularly literary, well crafted, non-news related Daily Kos posts, in order that they may receive more views -- and, one hopes, more recommends. Exceptions will be made, but primarily this group seeks to promote carefully written and edited pieces outside the ordinary political fare of this site.
◼ Original Fiction, Poetry & Memoir, for Fun & Progress Homepage & story list
''Something familiar, something peculiar...'' from the 'pens' of kosaks, with a touch of originality, diversity, progressive outlook . . . our light and sometimes darker tales of life, myth, adventure, romance, nature, history, parody, society, pastiche, science fiction, epic poetry, lyrical saga, legend, ballad, cat&doggerel, satire, farce, fantasy, homage or mash-up of literature, familial or personal memory and musings, children's tales born of elsewhen or otherwhere, in prose or in verse, at great length serialized, or briefer material in single diaries, for the entertainment and pleasure of ourselves and friends (especially those who cannot afford kindles & ebooks), and to help fundraise a little for the Community Needs List diary series folks….
