Not ready for this

[cornerofmadness]

Tomorrow is the faculty meeting that I'd rather poke out my eyes than go to but there we go. I did something today I rarely do. I overslept badly. I didn't get out of here until after noon which killed me. I did get to tractor supply for bird seed (I'll deal with it on the weekend) and got to Kroger but I had no time for the gym. I went to the library and asked if my loans were there. Nope. Well when I got home I got an email saying my book was there. It came in 2 minutes after I checked out. Whee.


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!)

Honestly I don't do much with fandom resources. I'm terrible that way.

However I DO use Forever Dreaming transcripts Because my memory is crap. Now they're not perfect. There used to be a better one for the Buffyverse which I think is gone now. I do use this one for Prodigal Son. The draw back is they just have the words but not who is saying what (at least for PSon) so hope you remember that much.

I would also recommend the Prodigal Son Trash server on discord for those interested in that fandom.


Crime Writing Resource for those of us in crime drama fandoms

supernatural fandom resources It's pintrest prompts but pintrest actually has tons of writing prompts.

Writing wise I do enjoy comment_fic but it's only active on LJ

Thank you for the crime writing resource! And Pinterest is great for prompts, agreed! I love the dialogue prompts on there sometimes (I'm guessing they originate elsewhere, but it's nice to see them all together in one place!).

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome. Yeah I'm not sure where all the writing prompts come from but they are fun to find

Transcripts of shows are a godsend when you're looking for details so your story has some relation to canon. So having them available is a good thing!

I generally only do Comment_Fic when someone I know is the mod. Some of the prompts are off the wall (as far as I'm concerned) and my friends tend to have prompts I feel like I can work with.

Good luck with that faculty meeting! ;-)

[cornerofmadness]

transcripts are

that reminds me I need to volunteer to mod there again sometimes soon. Yeah sometimes the prompts are (they really were with fandom trees this year I swear)

thanks

[snowynight]

Thank you for the resources! They are very useful.

[cornerofmadness]

glad you liked them

[spikedluv]

That crime writing resource one is awesome!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. it does have neat stuff

[tsuki_no_bara]

i had no idea pinterest had writing prompts! how cool!

[cornerofmadness]

You can definitely find them there but I suggest harvesting them when you see them because you never know if you'll find your way there again (and I only save to my own pintrest intermittently)

The crime writing one is really helpful. I didn't even know Comment Fic had a DW version, but I also enjoy it on LJ. Thanks for the recs! :D

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome. I think comment_fic had one in DW in the past but its not active

Thank you for the Crime Writing Resources link! My main fandom at the moment is CSI, so that could be extremely useful if I ever wanted to write something case-related (which I haven't done so far because I have no knowledge whatsoever of the actual procedures).

I've been using that transcripts website too and, at least for CSI, there are some episodes that read like an actual screenplay, with names and descriptions of actions, but, like you said, others only have the dialogues, without even the characters' names. I still find it very useful, though.

[cornerofmadness]

You're welcome. A lot of my fandoms are crime shows so I find this stuff helpful.

Definitely the transcripts are useful. While I wish they all were written script like I know the time commitment involved so I don't blame them. I'm happy to have anything

[rekishi]

Crime writing resources are very welcome for the next time I find myself in a case heavy fandom, thank you!

[cornerofmadness]

Glad they're helpful to you
