BASICS;
[01] name: Dame Phantasm
[02] age: 16
[03] sex: Female
[04] location: Florida, United States
[05] ONE interesting thing about yourself: I am a Romantic. I do not just beleive in Romanticism, but I live it. With that comes the divine need for beauty.
COMMUNITY BUSINESS;
[01] community(ies) that you moderate:
serpentinesiren Which I have very little time with because of school.
[02] how many people are in your community(ies)? There have been over 150 people to apply. Around 70 or so accepted and fifty or so active.
[03] what is your job in the community(ies)? I created it and moderate it--right now is mostly just overseeing things and
deleriumd does most of it.
[04] what is the purpose of your community? (i.e. what kind of people do you want to join?) "Welcome to serpentinesiren. This is a rating community for the Gothic and the Beautiful where the grim intellects and artists and the tragically beautiful linger. You don't necessarily have to be Gothic, but stay in the same dramatic, poetic, dark, alternative, and creative state. Not based on only beauty, but this community also makes inquiries about the artistic qualities and that make someone a serpentine siren-judging a survey (scroll down), artwork and pictures." Is the description. We wish for artisitic (an artisitic vision to is included), intelligent and beautiful people. I think it was one of the first art-sharing rating communitties on LJ.
