'22 Snowflake Challenge #7: Communities & resources
> "tell us about fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy"
A community that I follow that you might not know is![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fanart_recs. The moderator tries to get folks to commit to a run of one rec per week for a month in a certain fandom, or similar cadences.
For the "Recently in FK" post each month, I always checkfandom_on_dw, fandomcalendar, yuletide, and fancake. (I check others, too, but most of the others have been quiet long and long.)
I get notifications on my DW reading page of new FK stories posted to the AO3. If you didn't know this feature was available, well, it is! Subscribe to this DW feed for AO3 FK posting notifications. (You can of course also check for existing feeds for other fandoms and make a new feed for any that don't exist.)
For perhaps an odd twist on options for consuming meta analysis, I'm going to recommend three YouTube channels that I enjoy: ImplicitlyPretentious, who makes video essays (mostly MCU recently) with lots of citations of monomyth resources; CinemaTherapy, which analyzes films (and some MCU TV) with an eye to the mental and emotional health of the characters as depicted (the best-friend hosts are a professional therapist and a professional filmmaker); and, my current favorite, OverlySarcasticProductions, which I discovered in November and have so far found to be seemingly endlessly awesome about mythology, history, tropes, literature, architecture, video games, and more (I haven't yet watched all their stuff, but oh! so fun).
