Snowflake Challenge #7: Communties and Resources

Challenge #7: In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy.

1. [community profile] fail_fandomanon: Yes, I know. But for someone for whom basically all current fandom platforms just don’t work, I’ve found it’s the best place to keep up to date with fandom, especially when it comes to exchanges. And occasionally, you have really great conversations there.

2. Reddit: If you’re into fandom discussion that has less to do with fic and shipping and more to do with world building, your fandom’s Reddit might not be the worst choice. It depends a lot on the fandom, of course. But I’ve found that some of the best discussions for my otherwise silent fandoms can be had there.

3. Wookiepedia: Look, the Star Wars universe is just too big for me to wrap my mind around. I use other fandom wikis as well, of course, and appreciate all the effort people put into them, but I chose to link Wookiepedia as an example because it seriously takes the cake. AWOIAF takes second place, with its many notes on calculating characters’ ages and the chronology.

Okay, I just checked out the fail_fandomananon and, like, whoa. I found the reference to "Winnie the Pooh omegaverse breeding fic" and I can never unsee that! ::grin::

That site is... I'm not sure if 'a treasure' or 'a disaster' is a better way to complete that thought!

Thanks for joining in Snowflake today!

Reddit fan communities can be great, or not great, I think depending on the tone set by the moderators. It's funny because in one fandom I was in all the fans on tumblr, twitter, etc, seemed to care about was shipping, but the reddit community didn't care about any of that, it cared about the plot and storylines, and the familial dynamics. It was a nice change of pace.

I don't even remember the last time I checked out ffa. I guess it's time. My Tumblr experience is very monofannish, I kinda miss the old multifandomness sometimes.
