Day 10: Post a rec for fannish and/or creative resources and spaces. Tell us where you go to dig up canon facts for your fandom, or where you get all the juicy details about your favorite ship. Where do you like to hang out and squee like a squeeing thing?
When I need to dig up canon facts about the MCU, I just google. I usually end up on one of the Wikis, do a bit of cross-checking and run with that. If I need something from the comics, though, I tend to go with standard Wikipedia. The problem with research resources and me is that all I need is a very vague idea of whether or not it's possible, or a name, or a connection, and then I do the handwavy thing of fantasy. For me, the more anchoring thing is the relationships and the reactions of the characters, and that's a more fuzzy area of interpretation.
My primary ship of the last three years has almost no canon details. In fact, I've pretty much been the one creating the juicy fannish details since I first saw the pairing.
Generally, my squee spaces are DW/LJ and Tumblr; although more on my journals if I want conversation. It's hard to find people to converse with, though.
If I get further into Star Wars fandom with TFA, I'll probably continue to use the Wikis, and bits and pieces of headcanon.
Recent Wikis I've used:
MCU Wiki
Mad Max Wiki
Chronicles of Narnia Wiki
