"In your own space, tell us about 3 creative/fannish resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy."
1) If you use fandom.com for anything, you may have noticed that their interface is clogged with ads, navs, and other links that are not related to your fandom. Some big company bought them and fucked it all up. Try BreezeWiki here:
https://breezewiki.com/
https://bw.vern.cc/ (alt site when main one is down)
It will serve up the fandom.com content in a clean page for you. You can keep the tab open or install a plugin called "redirector" from their page that will always send you there instead of going to fandom.com. The only thing you can't do in the redirect is to edit the wiki.
2) This may or may not be helpful, but reddit.com is not 100% a hive of scum and villainy. There are tons of subreddits/channels where helpful people hang out and chat about their microinterests. If your research on X isn't going the way you want, add "reddit" to your search phrase. Just ... read a few popular posts first to gauge the temperament. Gamers are still pretty salty, but you can find helpful threads anyways.
3) I wish I could say I used resources like fandom wank, but I honestly find out about most wank like 5 years after it happened. (fanlore.org is my best resource.) Except for the one time I was at a con with a known LOTR wank scammer when he was still she. My resource for fandom (I just typed wandom) wank is my lack of fucks. I encourage people to keep recording the wank for posterity and to help others recognize it when it comes around; identifying trouble is vital. However, do your best not to let your fucks get involved. Protect your fucks for something that's more important to you and your personal journey.
4) adding one I just found from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
