Snowflake Challenge #5

In your own space, tell us about 3 creative/fannish resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom or like many people at the moment, fannishly adrift right now).

I always think of DW communities here, but I realized that one of the last times I did this, I had started a reference list for MDZS and BJYX things.

It's out of date now, probably could use some updating, but I'm not going to bother at the moment. I am actually going to rec three DW communities.

For multi-fandom recs: fancake, which has found me some truly terrific pieces in a number of fandoms, including MDZS

For multi-fandom prompts: fan_flashworks is a delight and has a nicely organized structure

For multi-fandom fests, exchanges, and the like: fandomcalendar is a fandom staple

Fancake is so great, I've read so many excellent stories due to that comm.

You've just reminded me I need to actually subscribe to fandomcalendar. I keep seeing it on my network and thinking how useful it would be. And yet, keep forgetting to click the button.

It's a really great resource! Glad to provide a reminder!

Fancake is excellent! One of the things I enjoy the most is the recommended template that prompts the reccer to include what about the fanwork made them love it. I like recs but I enjoy other people's reactions just as much.

Seconding fancake and fandomcalendar, they are so useful!

Yes! Brilliant communities, both of them. :D

I agree! I want to know why someone liked something enough to rec it! Just giving me a link and a summary doesn't help me; I can trawl AO3 and do that by myself!
