Small Web September Check-In 4: Resources!

[enchantedsleeper]

As of today, we're officially in October, and that means that sadly, Small Web September is at an end!

(Sorry for the slightly later-than-promised check-in; yesterday was super busy 😅)

It's the last check-in, but that doesn't mean the small web fun has to come to an end - please do continue to share your progress on projects, questions, and cool resources that you've found by making posts to the comm (or in our chatter posts!)

For now, though, here are some questions and discussion prompts for the final check-in. Our theme this week is Resources!

• What did you work on during Small Web September? Was it the same thing that you set out to work on at the start of the month?


• Did you learn anything new or make any unexpected discoveries as you worked on your project(s)?


• Have any resources or guides been particularly helpful for your small webbing - or are there any that you wish existed/want to make?


• What are your plans for your project(s), or any other small web endeavours, beyond September?

As a reminder, this is the fourth of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event. If you want to view all the past check-ins for Small Web September, you can use the Small Web September tag - there's no cut-off point for commenting, so feel free to continue adding replies and discussing things related to each check-in! For our previous check-in post, head to Small Web September Check-In 3: Communities!

Sometime in the next week, I'll also be putting up a feedback/retrospective post to get thoughts on how the challenge was run, what you liked, and anything you'd like to see more of.

Kudos and thank you to everyone who has taken part in SWS, worked on projects, left comments, and shown enthusiasm - the event wouldn't exist without you! I hope you had fun this month 😄

I did a pretty thorough summary of my overall SWS progress on the third check-in post, and not much has changed since then, but I've made more archiving progress! I've now completely finished archiving my two earliest fandoms, Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho, after I got my finger out to archive two multichapter fics that I'd been putting off (one because it had been taken down in its original form and so I had to grab the chapters off individual files on an external drive, and the other because it was eight chapters long xD)

(I had actually thought that the longer of the two fics was abandoned midway through, but no, I'd got really close to finishing it! That's kind of good, in that my readers at least got most of a resolution, and also sad, because I more than likely could have finished it with just one more chapter 😅)

It was tempting to start on my next fandom without putting up the very last RK fic, but I made myself do that first, and now I feel very accomplished \o/ So, next stop will be some more of my fics from late-2000s fandoms like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Road to El Dorado. I'm also motivated to revamp the design on my fanart page so that I can feel happy enough with it to continue adding art, but I suspect that will take a few hours of fiddling and experimenting, so I might not have enough time to spend on that for a while.

For resources, I've been giving my list of fic archive/indie web resources a refresh with the addition of new resources that I've found since last year; I'm also planning to add a section for interesting reading (there's so much good stuff, though I need to track it all down again xD). At some point I also mean to host it on enchantedsleeper.space so that it's not just buried in my DW.

Congrats at accomplishing a few things :)

I hope you will now feel tempted to finish that story. It's not a fandom I read (or even know!) but I am sure your readers will adore you for completing it :)
