Snowflake challenge '26, 4

[toothpastepancake]

Alright so I lied I am not doing challenge 3 because I have written love letters to fandom many times before, so onto no 3:

Challenge #4: Rec The Contents Of Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

OKAY, Linkspam time!!

FANFICTION AND WRITING

I cannot not mention the other OTWarchive sites besides mine who have all been amazingly helpful with mine as well as amazing sites and communities in their own right: Superlove, Ad Astra & CFAA, and SquidgeWorld. I'm passionate about the decentralization of fandom and creating unique communities---especially when mainstream fandom sites like AO3 and others are being blocked in some areas and at risk of being blocked in others---and I'm so grateful to be a part of an amazing community with similar ideals.

I also highly recommend Stimuwrite as writing software. It's software you write with that well stimulates your brain while you write! Lots of cool sounds, textures,  colors. etc.

EDIT: Oh!! How could I forget my absolute fav: Cold Turkey Writer! It stops you from opening any other applications until you reach a certain word count.

A bunch of writing generators.

I track my word count and stuff here. 

Redacted fonts, for writing without the temptation to obsessively edit.

A guide on making personal fanfiction archives.

GRAPHICS GIFS AND IMAGES

A bunch of patterns, psds, fonts, etc etc etc

This tumblr post with links to a bunch of different fandom and meme gif generators  (Minecraft, heart locket, flaming text, 3d etc)

just so many public domain graphics

A website that i find extremely helpful for editing and making gifs without super great software

 
MISC

Shipchart generator (this has changed much since I first found it I hope for the better)

I'm not sure what else.

That shipchart generator is very silly and fun, thanks for sharing!

I found StimuWrite last year and it's WONDERFUL. I don't use it all the time but when I do, I'm always grateful for it.

Agreed! I encourage full content on Dreamwidth so folks here can see it. But I also like seeing fansites that are independent.

Hi! It’s nice to see you on the reading page again! These links are super cool :) I hadn’t thought of the redacted text thing before, but it might also be good to test my typing accuracy, haha. I’ve been super into typeracer and monkeytype recently. Plus the meme gif generators post is a godsend!! And personal fanfiction archive… intriguing… ough many ideas in my head now.

I'd never heard of Superlove before, but it seems awesome!! I may end up joining! I also second StimuWrite.

This is all very cool! I can't wait to dive into some of this stuff...the whole idea of the decentralization of fandom is very new to me (as I'm very new to fandom) but it's something I want to explore and think about more.

I feel like I've been seeing more of this sentiment recently and it makes me so happy.

This is such a fun bunch of links. I'm definitely gonna be getting use out of a few of these :D

These all seem very fun and /or useful, thanks for sharing <3

I didn't realize you ran sunset :0 that's honestly so cool! & while we(system) are struggling with how to decentralize ourselves on the web, we do agree it's a good thing!
