I return to catch up on the challenge! Today's:

Make a list of fannish and/or creative resources. Remember that a list can have one thing on it! Or it can have three, five, fifteen, or a hundred things on it (probably use a cut tag/read more if it's a hundred things).

Some suggestions from years previous include: wikis, play throughs, shippy moment compilations, podcasts, writing communities, screenshot caches, how-to blogs, YouTube channels, Discord servers, transcripts, challenge comms, bingo card generators, software shortcuts, dictionaries, timelines, books, translations, online historical archives, et cetera. In general, if you thought it was helpful in one way or another, it can go on the list!


Okay, this is for a miscellany of fandoms, but:

Star Wars

The famous resource for all things SW is Wookieepedia, but I'm a grumpy movie purist and it doesn't really distinguish between the shape-shifting void beast of "official canon" and the films, so I prefer to rely (with some exercise of personal judgment :D) on:

Script for ANH: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-A-New-Hope.html
Script for ESB: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-The-Empire-Strikes-Back.html
Script for ROTJ: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-Return-of-the-Jedi.html
Script for TPM: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-The-Phantom-Menace.html
Script for AOTC: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-Attack-of-the-Clones.html
Script for ROTS: https://imsdb.com/scripts/Star-Wars-Revenge-of-the-Sith.html

(The scripts include the cut scenes.)

There's no Rogue One script, so I check against the actual film (or sometimes, gifsets in my #rogue one tag on Tumblr)

Guild Wars

Probably not relevant to anyone's interests, but it actually has the best wiki situation of any game I've played, with no ads or anything:

GW1 wiki: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page
GW2 wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page

The GW2 wiki also has the extremely helpful Event Timer page that shows all the major map events in real time: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Event_timers

Austen

ROP still has searchable etexts of all the novels: https://www.pemberley.com/etext/index.html

Tolkien

Tolkien Gateway is not always reliable, but it can be a useful starting place for finding references/quotes; e.g.: https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/H%C3%BArin_of_Emyn_Arnen

Henneth Annûn is old but quite scrupulous in terms of sourcing claims and so forth: http://www.henneth-annun.net/events_view.cfm?evid=477. It also has character-specific entries packed with direct quotations, as with this page for Denethor II: http://www.henneth-annun.net/bios_view.cfm?SCID=17

The best sites for languages IMO: https://ardalambion.net/ and the dictionary at https://www.elfdict.com/

Mass Effect

The wiki (despite the Fandom host being... bad): https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Mass_Effect_Wiki

Some transcripts: http://www.masseffectlore.com/transcripts/mass-effect-1-transcripts/

Video of all possible dialogue for the prologue/Eden Prime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxU3k9XQpA0
