Challenge #13
In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Hmm, I guess none of the reference sites that I am prone to using are especially obscure but I can give you a run down of my standard procedure for trying to break into a new fandom when I'm still on the fence about going right to consuming the canon material.
First I head to Tumblr, yes even now, chiefly because one of the fastest ways to get interested in a new fandom/pairing is to look at folk's fanart, gifsets, and moodboards. That jump-starts things nicely.
Fandom wikis are my next stop. Recently I've spent a fair amount of time on Memory Alpha as I have nostalgia for all things 90s Star Trek. I'd seen the shows and even watched some recently but my memory of some of it has degraded over time so I really appreciate the work that goes into the fandom wikis.
Last but certainly not least, I head to AO3. Can I say how helpful the exclude buttons have been, but if I really want to explore the rarest of pairings I head to the Tag page.
My favorite source though, is all of you guys! My TBR list always grows during Snowflake from all of your wonderful suggestions and that is part of the reason why I look forward to it all year. :D
