auroracloudDoing things out of order a bit now, since it's late and this feels like one I can do relatively quickly, so I have a bit less catching up to do the next time I have more time and spoons to continue this!
Day 5
In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.
Communities:
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
tardis_library. A reccing community for all Doctor Who fandoms and eras (also spin-offs, Big Finish etc.), for a variety of media (fics, art, vids, etc.) It runs monthly and seasonal challenges with various themes, but you can recommend anything any time - the challenges are just a nice extra to prompt more recs and make it easier to start posting. This month's theme is Tenth Doctor era or minor/guest characters. It's a lovely place to pick up cool new recs, and you can search the tags by character, fandom, creator, type (e.g. gen, crossover, femslash) and more. I'd also love to see more people actively reccing stuff there, because I feel like I've lately been posting a lot. Well, at least it means it's a good place to pick up recs by me! *g*
historium A community for all historical fandoms. I'm supposed to be co-modding it and I've been awfully lazy about that, I promise to fix that after this weekend... *shuffles feet awkwardly* Still, you should go check it out!
fffriday: a reccing community for all kinds of f/f works, whether books, movies, fanfics, short stories etc. I've been meaning to get more active at actually posting stuff.
Challenges etc.:
public_call, an annual Secret Santa fanfic exchange for all Whovian fandoms. Another place to pick up Doctor Who fics!
femslash_ex. An annual exchange of f/f fan fiction, runs in autumns. Lovely, lovely stuff, both the requests and the resulting fics - go browse the collections of the previous years!
fandom_stocking - currently running! Basically people post "stockings" which are fannish wishlists for fic, art, icons etc. plus you can include some extra non-fannish stuff as well (one year I requested ballet icons, for example, many people request e.g. book recs or recipes). You can usually except short ficlets and the like, not necessarily the many-thousand-word fics other challenges might inspire, except if your stocking gets stuffed by someone such as me who doesn't really know how to keep things short. (I'm improving! Sometimes I write things under 1,000 words!) The stockings are open for stuffing now, and this year it continues until January 19, so if you're looking for prompts, wishlists etc., that might be a fun place to look. (Mine's here!)
