SNOWFLAKE CHALLENGE #7: A FEW RESOURCES

[queenslayerbee]

Make a list of fannish and/or creative resources. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I tend to think everyone knows about The Submission Grinder, a site for fiction and poetry writers to keep track of open submissions. But if you didn't know about it, or you're just starting to get your stories out, it might be useful!

And if you're on tumblr, check out Writeblr Graduates, to promote your published (be it traditional, indie, online, etc.) original writing.

Recently I found out about PostyBirb, a site that helps you speed up the process of posting to multiple sites and schedule posts, which can be useful for artists or writers trying to promote their work.

For my fellow DC fans, I wanted to post about the DCU guide, which I often use to track down characters appearances, chronologies, etc. (very useful for a completitionist like me lol). Although I mostly read batclan-related comics, and for that I tend to go for this regularly updated google spreadsheet of characters appearances and mentions.

Finally: if you haven't seen it, the three sentence ficathon is out! Go post your prompts! I posted a few myself (all about the dcu, of course), in case anyone's looking for inspiration 😉

oh my god the dcu guide is amazing. i've been dying for something like this ever since the comic book database went down a handful of years ago

I've found it really helpful! I'm a bit frustrated by how they organise their chronology (instead of strictly chronological, which I'd prefer, they divide the appearances by moniker first. I.e. "appearances as Jason Todd" are separated from "appearances as Robin II" are separated from appearances as "Red Hood II" are separated from appearances as "Nightwing II" etc. xD), but since they still add the dates you can easily work around it.
