Fandom Snowflake Day 5 & 6
Day 5
Recommend a fannish or creative resource.
I've been thinking a lot lately about how people use AO3. And how so many people who use it don't know about or don't know how to use so many of the features (both official and fannish made) that make it an amazing fannish archive So I'd like to share some resources about those!
- searching and browsing on the AO3
- the "search within results" field
- AO3 filtering (with pictures)
- AO3 work search tips: archive warnings
- downloading AO3 bookmarks (requires Python knowledge)
- workflow from google docs to AO3
- making linked footnotes on AO3
- AO3 searches, ship tags on AO3, and rare pairs
- list of useful AO3 tools
- list of AO3 extensions/add-ons I use (plus ones for tumblr too)
- + my AO3 tag on tumblr (includes more that I didn't list here)
Leave feedback for a fanwork. Or multiple fanworks. It can be as simple as I liked this to a detailed list of all the things you loved about the fanwork. The key is to leave some sort of feedback.
Done! I'm in the middle of a long fic that I won't finish anytime soon, so I went and read a couple shorter fics that I've been waiting to read. They were of course wonderful :)
Thanks for these! I’m going to save this post for reference.
