Fandom snowflake - Day 7

[flo_nelja]

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!)

No fixed fandom these days. And most communities I'm in are private ones on Discord these days. so, generic resources!

A chaque fois que je veux savoir combien de tomes fait un manga, dans quel magazine il est publié au Japon, quand sort le prochain en France, ou quand je veux voir les couvertures japonaises, etc, je vais sur Manga News. Ce site est mis à jour incroyablement régulièrement, et il y a des trucs fun, genre, des sondages, en plus des informations (attention, il y a aussi de la pub).

For AO3: if you want to format text like different sites in the middle of a fic, there are dozens of possibilities described in A Guide to Coding and Fanworks.

Do you know Sacred Texts? An extensive collection of texts from different religions and cultures. It has obscure myths and popular fairy tales, it has Japanese No plays and ethnologic essays, and all of this is free.
And yes it is a fandom resource for me, since I love writing either legends or fairy tales as fandoms, either characters meeting mythological figures.

!!!!!

OH WOW. I have been looking for something exactly like these tutorials and didn't have the first clue where to start. Thank you!!!!

[flo_nelja]

Yeah, glad to be helpful! <3

[turps]

Those really do sound like interesting links.

I've tabbed Sacred Texts to check out later.

[flo_nelja]

Yeah, there are awesome texts here!

Ooh, neat to know this exists! *bookmarking just in case* -- thank you for the link!

[flo_nelja]

Spreading the good word! (I'm very bad at programming myself)

[kiestan]

I've been looking for sites to read religious and mythology texts and stories because I didn't know where to start. Thank you so much for this link! :D

[flo_nelja]

Yesss this one is good!

[goddess47]

I've made note of both the AO3 and the Sacred Texts links to check out when Snowflake is over.

Those look like great sites and useful!

Thanks for those!

[flo_nelja]

Thank you for telling me and making me proud!

[shipperslist]

OH! Bookmarked the Sacred Texts right away!

[flo_nelja]

Yay!!

[tsuki_no_bara]

that coding guide on ao3 is amazing, and the sacred texts site looks like the best kind of time sink. it's a good thing work is slow today. :D

[flo_nelja]

Yeah, I'm glad! <3

Ooh, that guide to coding and fanworks is super helpful! I have never been sure where to go if I wanted to add different type of format in a fic. Thank you for the rec! :D

[flo_nelja]

I hope you will find it useful indeed!

[pumpkinlumpin]

Oh!!! I knew I had seen a guide or two to formatting on AO3 before at some point, but had lost track of them at some point. Thank you so much for the link to the collection!

The Sacred Texts website is also an incredible resource, I'm looking forward to reading through these.

[flo_nelja]

My pleasure!

[silveradept]

It's very nice to have a handy reference of what the site skinners get up to with their designs.

Sacred Texts is really helpful when you've got a mythology that you need me information on our you think there's a story you read once.

[flo_nelja]

Yes! Sacred texts is also, for me, really good for sharing a story I have at home, but only in paper books that don't travel fast :-D

[myrdschaem]

!!! I didn't know Sacred Texts, but I know where I will be burying myself the next month!

[flo_nelja]

Good! It's a good site! <3
