Snowflake Challenge #7
Challenge #7: In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!)
This is difficult. Just in challenge #4 I was bemoaning the lack of newbie pages and resources like there used to be easy to find upon joining a new fandom.
That said, for anything not tiny at least there tends to be still a fandom wiki that is easy to find. And those are a great help to keep track of things if for example the canon has a lot of characters and worldbuilding. So I have visited both The Magnus Archives wiki and the Rusty Quill Gaming wiki quite a lot as I was catching up these two podcasts.
The fandom.com/wikia wikis also can be helpful if you want to read fanfic in an unfamiliar fandom and its wikipedia page is truncated of nerdy detail (like fictional character biographies or episode summaries etc.) for aspiring to be an encyclopedia and wanting sources etc.
On DW I follow![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandomcalendar, a bulletin board for promoting fandom events like fests, challenges, memes etc. And drawesome, a drawing community to fanartists, still has regular drawing challenges every month.
And finally some self-promotion: IMO for anyone looking to find or post fanart recs, the commfanart_recs, which I mod, is great.

I also enjoy looking at fan art for fandoms I'm unfamiliar with. It helps that it's much less time investment than fic, lol.
