Challenge #7

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!)

• The subreddit r/GenshinGays and particularly its official Discord has been one of my favorite places for Genshin Impact info, fanworks, and such. The majority of Genshin fanworks and discussion in most places tends to revolve around waifus (aka the female characters with a big focus on how attractive they are), so it's really nice to have a community focused on the male characters. The discord is especially great because they have a dedicated leaks channel where they share leaks for upcoming updates from reputable sources. It's highly curated so you don't get a lot of wild speculation. They also have a co-op challenge where you can ask for help fighting tough bosses and such, which has been a lifesaver haha
  
  
• Another subreddit I love is r/otomegames. That one's focused on what are basically dating visual novels where the main character is a girl and all the love interests are guys. They post memes, sales, play-alongs, and all kinds of stuff. I've only played a tiny fraction of the games they talk about, but the energy in that subreddit is just so positive and fun.
  
  
• Rounding off my list with another subreddit because I seem to spend all my non-gaming time on reddit nowadays lol is r/HPSlashFic. Actually wait, let me rec both this one and the main subreddit, r/FanFiction, because both are really welcoming fanfiction communities with strict rules and moderation that ensure it doesn't devolve into a bash-fest. r/HPSlashFic is mostly centered around fanfic recs, and I've found a lot of really interesting things to read through it. r/FanFiction is mostly writer-focused and is a multi-fandom space where writers will talk about their struggles while writing and posting fic, celebrate any milestones they reach, and things like that.

I love this list since I'm not a Reddit reader and it's good to know there are good Reddits out there.

FWIW, for dealing with bosses and work, I highly recommend https://askamanager.org -- that is an amazingly well run web site and the woman who runs it gives great advice. If nothing else, it's a great read to see what other people are dealing with in their jobs.

Thanks for joining in Snowflake!
