Communities of Interests

[dark_administrator]

A couple of years ago zvi started an excellent Pro-Character of Color/Anti-Racism Guide which she still maintains. We're not attempting to maintain a list with the same breadth and comprehensiveness nor can we hope to, but here are some communities dedicated to promoting racial and cultural diversity, representation and discussion in fandom (among others).

Chromatic Diversity

• choc_fic
• chromatic_fanfic
• chromatic_podfic
• chromaticheroes/chromaticheroes
• chromatics
• chromaticvision/chromaticvision (AO3 Collection)
• chromicons/chromicons
• dreaming_ncolor
• forkedtongues
• hp_diversity/hp_diversity (AO3 Collection)
• notgreenorblue
• poc_daily/multibeautiful
• red_packet
• vchamber

Intersectionality

• access_fandom (AO3 Collection)
• asexual_fandom
• daysofawesome/daysofawesome (AO3 Collection)
• eid_fic/eid_ka_chand (AO3 Collection)
• halfamoon
• lgbtfest (AO3 Collection)
• queerlygen

If you know of any other communities (or resources), please share them in the comments! Thank you!

Possibly red_packet?

[dark_administrator]

Thank you for the link! We've added the community to the list.

[sqbr]

Awesome. And this reminds me, I was going to say and then forgot: would lgbtfest be the sort of thing you want for intersectionality?

[dark_administrator]

Oh, yes, thank you for the link!

[sqbr]

Hmm. Well along those lines there's also asexual_fandom and queerlygen. There's also a bunch of comms for female characters like halfamoon. And now I think I am out of suggestions :)

[dark_administrator]

:) Thank you for all the links! We appreciated them!

[arobynsung]

This is an awesome list, thanks :)
chromicons (on LJ)

[dark_administrator]

Oh, thank you for the link! Have added to the list.

...I'm looking for a pointer to any possible comms for betas focused on chromatic issues. (A friend of mine is looking for a culture beta who is familiar with the issues an Algerian Muslim female character would have.)

Not sure if this is allowed, but I created a livejournal community with a @Dreamwidth mirror, called chromaticheroes if that counts a place of interest.

[dark_administrator]

Hi -- apologies for the super late response to your comment & PM, but yes, chromaticheroes is definitely a community of interest and it's added to this list.

You're most welcome to advertise the community at dark_agenda as well.
