• I want to create IMDB for Open source projects

  I'm not sure how much value making something "not fugly" really matters. Design should be based on functionality, not anti-fugliness. In my experience, design considerations should come after building a successful growth "feedback loop." (Or whatever you want to call it.) At that point, you may decide making your website look "polished" isn't even necessary. IMDB was certainly quite ugly for a long time.... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• For a few times I’ve seen comments that this fanbase is small. How/why?

  On Archive Of Our Own , the theme for International Fanworks Day 2021 was fandoms/relationships that aren't well represented on the site. Based on an idea I'd had going back to 1992, I picked Mariah Carey and wrote this story. There are only 11 stories/works) about or involving Mariah on the site. Hell, she's been around 33 years and her first name still gets the red squiggle under it, meaning her name... Source: 7 months ago

• Larian romance stats vs AO3 stats

  It's the top-10 romantic relationships written about BG3 characters on AO3, the largest fanfiction website on the internet. Source: 7 months ago

• Larian romance stats vs AO3 stats

  For those not in the know, AO3 (the ArchiveOfOurOwn) is the largest (I think?) fanfiction website on the internet. Its interests are pretty different! ;). Source: 7 months ago

• Best Spuffy long fics?

  Elysian Fields is the place for Spuffy fanfic! I recommend doing an Advanced Search - you can search for and sort by word count, likes, etc. (similar to Archive of Our Own, also a place with Spuffy fics but not quite as user-friendly as EF). Source: 7 months ago

• Decided to grab this series, first book came as a comic… problem?

  My favorite source of "envisioning material," though, is the work that Mika Blackfield has done on deviantart.com:. Source: about 1 year ago

• Author Resources: A Non-Comprehensive Guide to Finding Non-AI Budget Cover Art

  Starving Artists: This is one of the options I encourage the most highly. Take the time to search out new, promising artists, ones without extensive careers. Their prices are lower- often immensely so! Finding good ones will be tricky, however- this is one of the ones where you'll need to spend a LOT of time browsing through various art sites looking. I recommend starting your search on deviantart.com and... Source: about 1 year ago

• Panthers Helmet Movie Shot

  The shot was black and white, the helmet was up risen by hand, and pretty sure it was posted on deviantart.com (a website which was popular like 15 years ago, haha). Source: about 1 year ago

• Sunamine29 strikes again, and her target appears to be… Tree.

  The WG drive had 11 parts. Go on deviantart.com and go to Sunamine29’s account, then go to “Gallery” and scroll left on the galleries until you find a gallery called “Tree and Remote WG Drive”. Source: about 1 year ago
