They can also be found hanging out in various social networks as a member of a variety of writing groups including The Real LJ Idol, Get Your Words Out, Inking It Out, and WriYe, and working on their art journal and artist trading cards, or chatting with their friends online and off, real and imaginary.
Some of these imaginary friends live in their head and tell them their stories. Most of them call themselves the Dreamers, The DreamWriters, or the Common House Residents and Visitors.
