Snowflake Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

This is difficult because I haven't been active on dw for ages, and a lot of the communities I used to follow have gone quiet. But let's try anyway. I assume this doesn't include fanwork pages of any sort, because that's what I can gather from the people who've done it already. All of these are multi-fandom clearinghouses.

bestthingever and fancake are multifandom reccing communities, of which the former is focused on amazing new stories, while the latter allows thematic recs across fandoms.

das_sporking2 sporks original fic and fanfic alike, and to devastating effect. I'm currently following gehayi et al's sporking of the Mists of Avalon, and it is ab-fab at bringing out the many many issues with the novel.

fan_flashworks runs thematic challenges thrice a month, and welcomes fic, art, and other fanworks in your fandom of choice.

Finally, dw_community_promo is, as the name suggests, the place to go to if you've got a community to talk up; it is also therefore a very good place to hang around if you want to find out about new communities or challenges. It's always relatively active, and fairly hopping right now.
