cziOh, I lied, I'm going back to two now!
In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.
When I first started writing fanfiction (beyond those halting, high school, 'haha, I totally know how people speak and act' pieces that will never see the light of day without extensive editing) I really wasn't sure where to start. Okay, Dawn and Dusk flowed pretty well, but there was always an end to it and even fitting After Dark between my own lines there wasn't going to last forever. But I'd been snagged. I needed to write more and desperately required hints. Enter, the Mass Effect Kink Meme. I found the ME kmeme almost by accident. Trolling the FFN and AO3 archives for my favourite pairing (underrepresented, I'm sad to say) I came across a few that referenced this mysterious and unknown community. A little bit of searching led me to what amounted at the time to mecca. Plot bunnies galore - not even all porn! - and I fell in love.
When I started reading fanfiction, there were several ports I paid call in. Aside from a fledgling FFN, Mediaminer.org and AO3 (which I had heard of but not applied for an invite to), I found a good chunk of my fanfiction either on individuals' sites or here: Darkness Rising. Despite not having been updated since around 2009, the site still archives a lot of my first loves in Slayers and Weiß Kreuz fic, as well as others.
Now, because I don't really have a third community to share as such, allow me to give you a few places where you can find a focus on the individual pairings I enjoy. For all your Hermione/Severus needs, there is Ashwinder; for your Sesshōmaru/Kagome desires, Dokuga (who absorbed the smaller A Single Spark a few years ago); and for a mess load of glorious Slayers fic, mostly Lina/Zelgadis, there is Theria's work archived on her own site Event Horizon Delta.
