Challenge #4: Rec Your Last Page

Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!

I don't have a particularly good answer for this one, since the sites I frequent nowadays are just the basics: here, AO3, tumblr... that's about it. Recently I'm dipping a toe into Discord. 

As I think about it, I'm in danger of falling into a melancholy frame of mind, remembering all the sites from when I was younger, some of which have been imported to AO3, or saved in some form on the Wayback Machine, but too many of which were just... gone one day.

I'm excited to see how others answer this question. I'd love to know more about what's out there these days.

Mine are also basically just here, AO3, and Discord.

I hear you on missing old sites that are now gone. I kind of think of them like the sand mandalas some Buddhist monks make. Beautiful but ephemeral. And there is a melancholy to that, but then I also see the new creations and that brings me joy.

A lovely way of putting it, thank you <3

Mine are LiveJournal, here, AO3 and Discord. I love Discord, but no idea how to find new fandoms on it.

I found the servers I'm on through people I follow on tumblr. It's an underground sort of place, isn't it? You have to know someone to get anywhere.

I definitely relate to this! I'm primarily on Tumblr and AO3, but use Discord for DMing friends. I also use Reddit a bit for book recommendations and to lurk in communities. In general, the internet feels so much ... smaller now.

Yeah, I lurk on reddit's TTRPG communities. I agree with you about the internet feeling much smaller these days.
