Snowflake Challenge 2020 - Day 3

[smilebackwards]

Challenge #3: – Pimp Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges

Communities! I'm so glad DW added code so that the @ symbol will automatically do the comm link thing now.

So I know some of what's going on in fandom: fandomcalendar, fandom_on_dw & otw_news.

So I know what's going on with the DW platform: dw_maintenance & dw_news

For writing: inkingitout, ushobwri, yuletide, yuletide_admin & fandomweekly

For fic recs: stargateficrec, unfitforsociety, recs & epic_recs

For vidding: vid_bingo, vidding, viddingnews & equinox_exchange

For icons: fandom_icons & iconbattles

Extra: Upcoming John/Rodney SGA fest romancingmcshep

And a couple from tumblr: ao3commentoftheday is a really nice like fandom cultural practices intro for writing and interacting & gffa is all the star wars joy without the negativity

I'm so excited for romancing McShep!

[smilebackwards]

I find the more traditional exchanges kind of stressful so I love that it's really nice and low key where you just create if you're inspired :)

[seleneheart]

ao3commentoftheday is a great resource for fandom history!

[smilebackwards]

It totally is. I love it a lot!

[teigh_corvus]

OH THANK YOU. This is such a great list!

[smilebackwards]

Very welcome! I hope you enjoy :)

[prettyarbitrary]

I didn't know about fandom_on_dw, what a useful comm! Thank you!

[smilebackwards]

So useful! That one and fandomcalendar are how I find out like 90% of fandom happenings that I'm ever aware of.

GFFA is one of the only Star Wars blogs I follow on Tumblr specifically because of the positivity.

[smilebackwards]

Me too! And it's so active and comprehensive I never feel like I'm missing anything.

[autobotscoutriella]

Thank you so much for reccing gffa! I've been looking for good Star Wars content minus the negativity, and that blog made me SO HAPPY.

I'll be checking out some of those rec communities, too!

[smilebackwards]

Good Star Wars feels \o/. It's such a great blog. I think gffa might have a DW as well but tumblr is really an easier platform for all the gifs and meta.

[autobotscoutriella]

I've been scrolling through it for half an hour :D I'll have to look up the DW as well, but I'll admit I do quite like all the gifs and art.

[independence1776]

The DW is copy/pasted from when Tumblr began to melt down a year ago; they don't actively post here. Didn't stop me from subscribing just in case, though.

[autobotscoutriella]

I did the same, just in case! Sometimes people pop up at the most surprising times. (I'm also not 100% convinced that Tumblr won't just vanish someday, so it's nice to have backup options for my favorite blogs.)

'm so glad DW added code so that the @ symbol will automatically do the comm link thing now.

It's s lifesaver!!

AO3commentoftheday is a fantastic fic writer's resource - it's helped me out a lot.

[smilebackwards]

Me too. It's nice to see the chatter and different people's opinions on things.

[tjs_whatnot]

So many great resources!

Enjoy :)
