Silm fandom communities/Resources

This is my entry for Snowflake Challenge #5: In your own space, tell us about 3 creative/fannish resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy.

These all are for the Silmarillion/Tolkien fandom:

1. The Silmarillion Writers' Guild is both a fic archive and a community for the fans of the Silmarillion. The archive hosts fan fic, fan art, and other kind of fannish media. The main focus is fannish content based on the Silmarillion and Tolkien's legendarium, but there's also section for non-Silmarillion fanworks. They have a very active and friendly discord server for Silmarillion fans. If you have an account you can find the invite link on the website, or you can ask a mod about the link.

2. Tolkien Gateway is where I can quickly check my canon. Tolkien's universe is so huge that a wiki of this kind is valuable.

3. I have several sources where to go when I want to have more information about Elvish languages. Currently, I use mostly Parf Edhellen (Easy to use, accurate as a dictionary) or Eldamo (More complex for beginners, a great source for grammar, great dictionary).
