Read This: Oh My Gods!.

WARNING

I am in a sarcastic through bitchy mood today. I'm quite enjoying it. I'll probably be back to normal in a few hours, or can switch back to normal on short notice if it's really bugging anyone. Otherwise, you have been warned.

LJ communities I'd like to see

There are lots and lots of communities on LJ, and I can't keep track of them all, so some of these may exist. Also, I'm not looking for community in the sense of conversation, but in the more strictly lj-sense of a place several people can post. Mostly, I want to read these, not post in them.

A "good food" community. food_porn is nice, but... I'd like to see a community that's almost magazine-ish in its approach, detailing foods, what they taste like, where they come from, what varieties there are, what drinks go well with them - and preferably with pictures. Some of egullet.com's columns are bang on for this.

And the same kind of thing for wine, and perhaps teas and coffees would be excellent. Separately, though, so people can pick and choose what they want to read about, since there are some (poor, misguided souls) who, for instance, don't like wine. Asking for a community like this about cigars is probably impossible.

Likewise, a good steampunk community would be nice. Something with, perhaps, discussion, a scholarly approach, and lots of illustration. Steampunk is a very visual genre. wintersweet has been talking about some game stuff of late that I'd very much like to see expanded upon in this kind of forum, and darktor's sketches and photographs would also go well.

And finally, an Irish community that is not crammed with idiotic posts would be good. ljireland is well intended, but... it's not quite getting there.
