Back before search engines and algorithms became what they are today and this shifting landscape of our shared interconnected network of computers and servers encountering new boards and sites was through word of mouth or interconnected sites. An old fashioned link page might be an antiquated specimen these days but perhaps you will find joy exploring some of my favourite places to dwell and visit on the internet.
Comics
Tripping over you is a coming of age slice of life that follows a pair of genuinely sweet characters with very different personalities. The art style is so soft and pleasant to look at. The series has wrapped up but the creators have moved on to continue a new project as well.
Another Comic I’ve been following for a long time. The world of the Underground is an oppressive and interconnected minefield where its impossible to know who to trust. Uncovering Character secrets and unraveling histories and ploys for power has been a treat over the years.
Political unrest, magical academy, Lies, and a unique magic system. This Comic ticks so many boxes that personally interest me and comes with a solid recommend.
Knight’s Errant has been a big inspiration for me. The Colour palette and art is lovely. This is its second iteration. I found this comic at the right time in my life its diverse cast , dramatic plot-lines and colourful world-building had me wanting more but despite being an unfinished project I consider it well worth a read.
This is a fantastical journey with an unlikely team up in a fascinating and magical world. Its so creative and beautiful.
Forums
Writers Sanctum is a forum home to a collection of genuinely lovely people who do roleplay, collaborative writing and world-building. There are monthly writing challenges and all sorts of genres and types of stories to tell alone or together. It is a very cozy place and worth a visit.
While I haven’t been as active in the guild as I have hoped I might be. The Cartographer’s Guild is a community of mapmakers that share their vast wealth of knowledge in cartography and world design. I would recommend this site to anyone wanting to dip their toes into making fantastical maps.
