Snowflake Challenge Day 5
Jan. 8th, 2019 10:28 pmIn your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.
I have spent a lot of time at The Sheila Variations, a blog that belongs to movie critic Sheila O'Malley. She posts movie reviews, essays on film stars and writers, book reviews--and she always has something interesting to say. I've learned a lot about acting and film composition. What drew me there was a massive essay on Jensen Ackles that she wrote after she started watching the show. She has done recaps of the first 2 1/2 seasons as well, and all of it is well worth reading! (Cautionary note--she is not enamored of Andrew Dabb's seasons, so your mileage may vary with regard to the newer episode discussions.)
Another Supernatural page that I visit belongs to (bnf) Lynn Zubernis, who has co-written or edited at least 5 books on the show, fandom, and the psychology behind both. Her site is Fangasm and it's great for episode reviews and con reports, generally with a positive spin.
On the broader topic of geeky pursuits, I really like the podcast Imaginary Worlds. Every other week, they post a new show which could be about anything from fanfiction to Magic, from LARPing to old school radio serials. It's a lot of fun to listen to!
With regards to challenges, I want to push myself to participate more, but for the last 3 years I've joined
spn_summergen, and it's always a great mix of stories and artwork. Every year I have been amazed by my own gift, and "cherish" is not too strong for the experience I've had with this community.
