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.

Truthfully, I think I use pretty much the same resources as I always have. None of them are fandom-specific.

access_fandom: A community about improving accessibility in fandom. There haven't been many posts lately, but I'm glad they're still there. ♥
TV Tropes: This one may be terribly passe by now, but I still use TV Tropes a lot. Whenever I find a new fandom, I go over there to see what others have said and enjoy browsing the tropes. It helps me refresh my memory on canon or pick up on things I might have missed. Plus, if I'm getting into an older series, it can give me an idea of what has been said about it in the past and what everyone's reactions were. I've found some good recs there, too.
Fanlore: I see this as the more fannish version of TV tropes. I *love* reading about fandom history. Since I am often late to fandoms or don't have as much time to devote to them as I like, Fanlore can help me catch up. I want to start editing it soon because I feel that there is a lot that still needs to be documented from what I remember of the 2000s. I also use it to find older fic recs that I never got around to reading.

I'm always glad to see references to Fanlore! That is such a treasure. I always encourage folk to at least create a page for themselves, even if they don't do more work there!

Accessibility is such an issue... a number of things that are browser based can be kinda okay, but there's so much that needs work.

Thanks for sharing!
