Snowflake Challenge - Day 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) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Fandom is a fantastic place, and something that brought many of us together. Fandom is also a huge place made up of amazing and creative people doing incredible things. Anything goes, writing, podficcing, artwork, beta reading, commenting, general squee and so much more. It all combines to help make fandom the brilliant thing that it is.

The problem is, sometimes it's hard to find the places which enable you to indulge your passions. Hopefully, this challenge will help that. So, for example, tell us about a stock image place you enjoy, or a favourite archive. Is there a rec list you keep going back to, an online space where you enjoy a chat or a podcast series that always makes your day?

And of course, these places can be beyond fandom, that recipe site that's your go-to. The step-by-step instructions you saved to make your own cheese. Do you garden and have a favourite blog that's taught you how to grow amazing tomatoes?

Wikis, websites, videos, software, games, books, people, communities... anything! Share those places that you love, and hopefully others will love them too.

 

Although Supernatural has ended, and the fandom has dwindled somewhat, there are still some great resources and communities around. 

Archive of our Own is my go-to for Fanfiction.  I also cling to Fanfiction.net for old times sake – I have over 1,000 stories posted there.

Two Supernatural-based challenges I remain faithful to are 

spn_summergen

  as a writer and 

spn_reversebang

  as an artist. 

I will continue to take part in those amazing challenges as long as they’re around.

My main fandom home is still Livejournal, although it’s much quieter around there now.  For that very reason, this account at Dreamwidth is my back up account.  My other social medias such as Facebook and Instagram aren’t specifically fandom-related, although I do follow some Supernatural and Jensen related groups on them, I also join groups related to conventions I’m attending.

For practical purposes, my favourite resources are Supernatural-Wiki for information, and Picmonkey and GIMP for art purposes.

And most importantly, my favourite resources for information, entertainment and friendship are my gorgeous fandom friends – you all know who you are!

Sorry, that's way more than three, but maths was never my strong point!

No need to say sorry for more than three, the more the merrier I say.

I enjoyed all your links to SPN related content. While I was never in the fandom apart from reading the odd fic every now and then, I did watch the show so love that the fans are still around and still passionate.

Thank you for such a great list.
