Snowflake Challenge - Day 13

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

These aren’t specifically fandom resources, but they are resources that I use all the time for fanfiction and fan art!

There are a couple of photo editing sites that I use for creating fan art. 

www.picmonkey.com is the one I use the most, and I really DO use it a lot! It's a pay service and I think I pay $72 a year (around £50).  For me that’s a great investment!

Then there’s GIMP.  It’s a lot more technical than PicMonkey, and I probably only use a fraction of it’s full functionality, but its great for working with layers.

Finally, I don’t know where I’d be without my thesaurus.  It’s an invaluable resource for any fan fiction writer.  Thanks to my thesaurus, I can decide whether my character is angry or annoyed, bitter, enraged, exasperated, furious, impassioned, indignant, irate, outraged, vexed or fuming!  It’s an invaluable tool for any writer.

Gosh I remember hearing people using GIMP back in the LJ days! That's cool that it's still around and helpful.

I love GIMP, it's a great free Photoshop alternative.

Good choices — and I wish more writers used a thesaurus!
