Snowflake Challenge Day 7

Challenge #7

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy.

I was very tempted to name all the same sites and resources that I listed in last year's Snowflake Challenge, but I am going to try and list a few different things.

==Writing Resources and Challenges===
*WritingExercies - this site has a lot of great writing exercises and prompt generators that can be used for fanfiction or original fiction
*Fictober - an annual writing challenge that takes place during the month of October, providing different prompts for each day
*Flufftober - similar concept to Fictober, but with only fluffy prompts (last year was their first year, so hopefully they will be back again in 2022)
*fairytaleinspired - a fairy tale exchange where you write your favourite characters into a fairy tale inspired story (usually takes place in the spring)
*wipbigbang - do you have an unfinished long fic that has been languishing for quite awhile? Would a hard deadline, and the incentive of art created for your fic, help you finish? Then this might be the challenge for you (usually takes place in the summer)

==Resources for Original Fiction==
*Canadian Markets for Speculative Fiction - this lists Canadian magazines and book publishers that accept submissions
*The Grinder - this site lists all sorts of magazines, contests, etc, that accept submissions, and you can search by genre, word length, etc. This is how I found the writing contests I entered last year (I didn't win, but I'm going to keep trying)

==Icon Making Communities==
*iconthat - monthly challenges, with voting
*icons10in20 - create 10 icons in 20 days, has voting
*icontalking - monthly challenges, but no voting
*100fandomicons - create 100 icons from 100 different fandoms, within a 12 month, 18 month, or 24 month period, has no voting
