F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)

F!S Anon Meme (the ??th!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required.
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff. If you want me to link your thread up here, drop a link in the first comment!



General:
Halloween costumes

Fandom-general:
Porn comics
F/F recs
Guilty pleasures

Fandom-specific:
Girl Meets World

Tumblr recs

(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm looking for a certain kind of Tumblr blogs to follow, and I have a few to rec myself, so ask for recs or rec your own favourites! Pimping your own blog is okay too.

I would like to find a blog that pays attention to some of the more over looked disney films (live action / animation) of the past twenty years or so. Some of them are really cool.

Writing/art prompts

(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad so many of these exist, writing prompts are my favourite thing! If you have any others to rec, I'd love to see them too!

http://onetruepairingideas.tumblr.com/
As the name implies, mostly OTP stuff, and largely AU at that, but they post quite a bit about tropes in a lot of different kinds of stories.

http://letsimagineotps.tumblr.com/
In the same vein as the above, though unfortunately doesn’t have a tagging system at all.

http://alloftheprompts.tumblr.com/
Sets of sentence prompts, as well as reblogging the standard AU/OTP stuff and occasionally a bit of writing advice.

http://otpandocprompts.tumblr.com/
Generally lengthy/descriptive ship prompts, pretty cool if you’re looking for original ideas to write, they get kind of specific to apply to just any OTPs in fanfiction imo.

http://putthepromptsonpaper.tumblr.com/
Sentence prompts, picture prompts, and even song prompts!

http://characterdevelopmentforwriters.tumblr.com/
Asks questions about world building or character development, it’s pretty useful when they come up with questions related to your story/character. I find some of the questions posted rather strange ('Has your character ever wanted to stab someone with a pointy object?’) but I’m sure these questions are super appropriate for certain kinds of stories and characters.

http://unblockingwritersblock.tumblr.com/
Lots of different kinds of prompts, really cool for generating ideas.

http://awritingpromptaday.tumblr.com/
Posts a prompt a day, obviously. Usually a theme or a line of dialogue. It’s kind of generic though imo but they are pretty varied.

http://otpisms.tumblr.com/
Another one of those OTP things. I think this one especially is really typical of an ‘imagine-your-otp’ blog but they are pretty fun.

http://dailyau.tumblr.com/
Similar to the above, but I find this one more interesting.

http://daily-prompts.tumblr.com/
Prompts that are normally quotes. Rather boring as writing inspiration to me (and it does seem to be a bit hipster-y and edgy, but I can’t tell if they’re trying to be diverse or if they just like prompts like that), but interesting quotes are always cool.

http://suddenlyprompts.tumblr.com/
One of my favourite prompt blogs, the ones the bloggers post themselves are always really interesting. I do think that they fall flat in creativity when they answer to requests for prompts, and they accept submissions which are also occasionally unimaginative, but it’s definitely worth it.

Looking for Dan and Phil tumblrs

(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I really love these dorks and there are amazing graphics and things out there, but I'm having a really hard time looking for the part of fandom that isn't obnoxious or hateful. I knew the fandom would be really typical of a Tumblr fandom with over-the-top fangirls and whatnot when I joined, but there has to be a sane side that aren't obsessed with proving Dan and Phil are dating or hate on whatever Tumblr says is cool to hate this week, right?

Re: Tumblr recs

(Anonymous) 2015-10-18 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I just want a Tumblr blog that reblogs fan edits, gifs and artworks of haikyuu, kuroko no basuke, pokemon, tales of games and personas 3, 4 and 5 (or any JRPG for that matter). I also don't mind if one posts cute things like Little Twin Stars, Hello Kitty, Rilakkuma, desserts/food, original artworks, scenery and architecture.

I have Pokemon blogs! Most of them post fanart and official scans and screenshots:

http://shelgon.tumblr.com/

http://pokescans.tumblr.com/

http://reuniclus.tumblr.com/

http://theoldchateau.tumblr.com/

http://it-started-to-rain.tumblr.com/
(I think this is a personal blog but it's mostly Pokemon.)

http://ho-oh.tumblr.com/
(Occasionally posts things other than Pokemon, but they're tagged.)

Tolkien- meta or serious discussions

[personal profile] philstar22 2015-10-18 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm looking for more blogs to follow that are more serious. I'm interested in reading or contributing to serious, in-depth discussions.

I just wanted to check, you don't want blogs that hate on the movies, right? I follow a bunch of people who have long serious debates about all aspects of Tolkien but they're also really down on the movies and Tauriel. Not sure if you'd be okay with that.

I actually don't mind movie hate. I do like them, but I also have lots of problems with them. And people having different opinions doesn't bug me.

Okay, in that case:

http://erunyauve.tumblr.com/
http://dawnfelagund.tumblr.com/
(she's a pretty big BNF from back in the LOTR days and runs a lot of cool stuff like the Silmarillion Writer's Guild)

http://hereff.tumblr.com/tagged/hereff-rambles
http://weary-hearted-queen.tumblr.com/essays

http://theserpentsadvocate.tumblr.com/
(this person has a lot of Brandir headcanons and thoughts on Brethil but you may have to dig a bit to find it)

http://dionetaofavalon.tumblr.com/
(she makes excellent photo-set critiques of the movies - look under her criticism and analysis tag)

http://lawyernovelist.tumblr.com/
http://lawyernovelistpersonal.tumblr.com/
(same user - on the first blog, she has great essays about LOTR but she really hates the hobbit movies, Tauriel, and Thorin. For you, I would check out Tolkien's-Female-Characters where she has a series of essays on how cool the women in Tolkien are. Her other site is more random stuff but she and two other people have a long discussion going on about Tauriel, mostly picking her apart but there's some interesting stuff too. I'm not sure if you want to wade into that but they're pretty polite)

http://rewritingthehobbitmovies.tumblr.com/
(same user as above - it has some interesting articles on it)

Let me know if you like these :)

Hook me up when you find some good Tolkien blogs, pretty please! I recently wrote a whole thing about Dol Guldur out of sheer fannish glee... and now I don't know what to do with it. :(
