Challenge #7

Make a list of fannish and/or creative resources. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


I want to recommend websites and posts that have been helpful to me. Not fannish for the most part, but maybe others will also be able to benefit from them :D


Ambient rain: Raining.fm

This website is exactly what it says on the tin – it makes a rain background noise.
Now, sites like this aren’t rare, but what I like about this one is the simplicity: You can adjust the intensity of the rain or add thunder, but I don’t even need that, I find the default rain exactly right (they also have more sounds if you pay, but again, I don’t really want that).

I have not gotten around to watching any DMBJ yet, but I will certainly consult this post to figure out a starting point.

Since Duolingo is going down the drain, check out these alternatives!


Hanfu masterpost: Post by ziseviolet


Japanese listening lessons: My Kikitori
This site offers free Japanese listening practice. Listening is not possible to learn from a book, so it’s very useful to get some practice in this way.

This is a great set of recs. I love the ambient rain one -- that will be very soothing.

And that Hanfu masterpost is great -- extensive and organized! I recced the tumblr blog [tumblr.com profile] chinesehanfu in mine, which you may find interesting (if you're not already aware of it).

I agree with the DMBJ Tumblr post. What I've watched so far:
- Reunion: Sound of the Providence
- the donghua (not mentioned there)
- Ultimate Note
- Sand Sea
- a couple of recent movies

Most people started there for Z1L. I'm probably the only one who watched him in Reunion before Guardian. lol

Thank you so much for these recs! So much to bookmark. :D My Kikitori and the duolingo alternatives will be really helpful since I'm picking up my japanese studies again. The ambient rain will be very helpful too!
