In your own space, Create something.

Well, I haven't had brainspace the past few days, but exams have been taken and then I immediately went and wrote 1000 words of improbable One/Romana (it's time travel, go with it), so I think that counts!

Snowflake 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!)

My #1 fandom resource is definitely Chakoteya.net. It has complete, fan-made transcripts for every episode of Doctor Who and Star Trek that has been broadcast on free-to-air British TV, plus a number of curious extras. If you're in either of these fandoms and don't know about Chakoteya, check it out right now!

(If you do know about it and appreciate it as much as I do, did you know you can tip the transcriber? I am not affiliated with her in any way, I don't even know her, and I'm not trying to pressure anyone, but I do know that she does a lot of incredibly useful work just for the love of it, and since I can I like to buy her "a cup of tea and a slice of fruit cake for her efforts" every once in a while!)

I also use Tragical History Tour, a compendium of Doctor Who screencaps and images. Great for checking costume details, making sure of people's eye color, and convincing people that your favorite goofy-looking 80s episode is actually a cinematic masterpiece. Well, trying at least.

And I don't suppose anyone needs to be told about ao3 or online word counters or Wikipedia or Spotify, which are the other main tools I use when doing fannish things, so... I'll mention something not inherently fannish, but it's my favorite book to look for titles in, which is The Top 500 Poems. It's an anthology of the 500 most anthologized poems in English, and it's a fascinating cross-section of English literature. It's amazing how many of them seem to be just free-floating in bits in the collective psyche. Hence fic titles!

(I recently read a novelization of an episode of my faves [The Pirate Planet for those curious], and at the end of the novelization, one of them quoted from the same Andrew Marvell poem, "The Garden," that I'd recently nabbed a fic title from. Not the same quote, but still. I felt vindicated.)
