myrdschaem - FPS List: Or in long Fanwork Permission Statement List! While fanlore also has lists for blanket permissions, it only includes the names of authors. So unless you already know the author and are aiming to check if they have a statement, it's not very useful. FPS list lets you search by fandom for creators that have a permission, so it is very useful if there is something specific for an exchange or gift. If you have a permission statement, you can also add yourself to it.
- If you want to try out podficcing or just general fandom fun and make new friends,![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
voiceteam is amazing. It's made to be a scavenger hunt in teams and all sorts of fanworks are welcome. A round lasts about a month and usually descends into wonderful chaos right away. I haven't been to one, but I do fondly remember people suddenly making smut about "water" as a fandom and all other silliness. There are team options for highly competitive players and also more casual ones, so no-one has to be worried about pressure.
- uh, very random, but have a website about traditional Japanese colour names in Japanese. I find it fascinating, because colour perception is very socially determined - Japanese is one of the often cited examples of no traditional green-blue split, though there is Ancient Greek right there in Europe as well. The site comes with hex codes, if anyone wants to paint with them - they are probably perfect for palette making for a kimono for example! - and if you can look up the meanings, the colour names are very surprising at times. For example, #965420 is "tea colour" - 茶色 - which is brown in modern, but looks like it is on the red spectrum. Or #cee4ae, the colours of summer insects 夏虫色, which is a pale green. Enjoy!

And the Voiceteam community sounds interesting... worth checking out at some point. And there are a lot of Asian-related fans on Snowflake. Hope someone checks out that color information.
Thank you so much for sharing with us!
