DS Weekly is a weekly fannish newsletter for the due South fandom. New issues were posted each Sunday from March 2006 to August 2010. From August to December 2010 the newsletter was posted on Tuesdays. The last post was in February 2011.
Each post contained links to challenges, community news, recs, meta discussions, individual fanworks, and miscellaneous other items of interest.
In December 2010 aingeal8c commented on the state of LiveJournal fandom:
This digest has been posted every week for well over 4 years now but as the years and weeks have gone by there has been less and less to post. Compare some of the 2006 entries with ones that have been posted this year. As a fandom due South does appear to be smaller in terms of the fanfic, fanrt and other creative endeavours that have been produced.I find myself wondering if the fandom needs a weekly digest such as this.
In times though when many larger fandoms need one (or more) daily newsletters to keep up with the happenings in a fandom I can't help but wonder if a small weekly digest is outdated at this point. The thought has been on my mind for around 12 months, ever since the digest started shrinking so much (which has become very noticeable to me the last year or so).[1]
The post had 15 comments from users who said they appreciated the work aingeal8c did and still found the newsletter useful.
As of January 2021, the livejournal community has 255 posts; 906 comments; and is watched by 414 users.[2]
