Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 6

In your own space, pimp recommend three comms or challenges and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1) [community profile] fandom_on_dw & [community profile] fandomcalendar are both great resources for finding fannish activities. [community profile] fandom_on_dw focuses on any sort of fannish activity as long as its on Dreamwidth, and [community profile] fandomcalendar focuses on fannish events (e.g., big bangs and fests) no matter the location. It's fun to see all the different activities and a good way for me to increase the chance of coming across something I find interesting.

2) [community profile] month_of_meta is a fest in March that seeks to produce and promote fannish meta. I like seeing all the thinky thoughts fellow fanpeople have, so I think [community profile] month_of_meta is a great idea and would love if more people participated.

3) [community profile] shakydismount/[livejournal.com profile] shakydismount is a comm for fannish, feminist parents (and others) who are concerned about gender representation in the media that their little ones consume. It's not very active and I feel that I have to add the caveat that I don't have any kids myself, but I think it's an important community. I'll probably make more use of it once I'm an aunt and wanting to find things for any nieces and nephews I have.
