As a multi-fannish person, I don't usually end up in the corners of fandom where the deep cuts of introspection and analysis happen, but I do love a newsletter, and I do love a rec community, and am so grateful for the people who have their fingers on the pulses of their respective fandoms.



I sometimes forget that bestthingever exists, if I'm honest :( There's enough fancake traffic on my reading page that I have been known to mistake the less-frequent bestthingever entries for fancake ones. Whoops. But it's great!

I don't remember if I ever knew the whole story about what happened with metafandom, mostly because I was a sporadic reader at best, but I was excited to see metanews appear. (also as_others_see_us, particularly when there's a Big Story About Fanfic)

This one isn't strictly fannish, but there's a lot of fannish folk there - ushobwri

I don't spend a lot of time on twitter, but TagsOfAO3 is a recent discovery, and it's pretty great if you like a periodic reminder of the awesome ridiculousness of fandom (although not, obviously, if tumblr-style tags on AO3 are the bane of your existence. I've found my peace with it :)

I like it! I mostly need to be a more attentive reader, but that would do a better job of distinguishing them :)
