Your Favorite Websites (besides TTF of course 😉)

Have a favorite website or find an interesting site you think your fellow TTF members would like? I thought we could share them here.

I recently found this one that’s kind of fun for when you have some time to kill. Basically anywhere you click on the screen, it’ll find a picture pointing to where you clicked.

Please hold still while we locate your pointer...

Going by how often I access them, that would be the English and German Wikipedias, and then YouTube. There are plenty of needles in the latter haystack.
Almost all of the rest in my "favorites" collection are links that would mean nothing to people outside of Germany - most even for people within Germany.

I think I use ao3 the most, besides that.

The website I use the most behind TTF is Pinterest. I'm not much of a TV watcher, so in my down time, I tend to get my entertainment from Pinterest. It's so much fun to sort all the pictures I like into boards and sub-boards. I do most of my historical fashion research on Pinterest, since there's an abundance of garments from museums and antique sellers, and links to blog posts, and fashion illustrations from the period. There's also an abundance of memes, aesthetic inspiration, sewing tutorials, and of course, Silmarillion fanart. I can even somewhat keep up with happenings on TikTok and Tumblr without actually going to those places.

Not a website, but I've been wasting a lot of time on Reddit lately, e.g.,

Sure.
I am a huge retro computer fan, and my favorite computer is Amiga.
So naturally: https://eab.abime.net

I have few more forums that I visit regularly, but they are more connected with modern graphics department, and probably won be of interest to anyone.

I use DeviantArt to look at other people's art, and I also upload some of my own there. Apart from that, there's no specific sites I spend a lot of time on these days (I'm sure everyone is already familiar with YouTube).

In high school, I often killed time by playing online flash games on my laptop. Like Poptropica and the ones found on the Cool Math Games site. I still like them, but I've found other activities to get into.

I picked up the habit in primary school, since I copied the older kids who were playing all sorts of random games on the school computers. Most of those sites probably don't exist anymore, especially as Flash Player is gone. So as a kid I associated computer games with school and reading with home. 😆

I spend a fair allotment of time on RP Repository. I use their wonderful character building features for my Tolkien RP characters, and use their group feature to house all the content I had on my old forum 'The Lost Realm of Arnor'. I share my stories and fanfiction, both Tolkien and others, there, and I archive my roleplays I written on many sites over the years there. There are lots of good folk there.

I guess my favorite websites would be:
Encyclopedia Britannica online: where I always go to start a research project on subjects of general interest.
lotrproject.com, the interactive M-e Map website: where I'm going (currently) to increase my grasp of things related to places, things, routes, events, distances and more for my future book trilogy.
LSBible.org: where the newer Legacy Standard Bible is found...a translation a bit more accurate than most in respect of 'language continuity' thoughout the text, though it lacks in certain specific word and tense translation, thus (though less than many) ending up with misleading syntax here and there.
EtymologyOnline: which though brief, is still quite useful from time to time.

The LotR Project is an awesome resource! Lots of good info there.

Other sites I tend to visit Middle Earth-wise is LotR Fanatics Plaza, Hall of Fire, Tolkien Gateway, Barrow Downs, The New Notion Club Archives, and Encyclopedia of Arda.

I have a list of general writing/roleplaying sites I have signed up for, but only use a few of them... Writing Home, Storytellers Circle, The Wanderers Library, Requiem Library, and Writing.

Just for fun:

Lordle of the Rings

lordle.digitaltolkien.com

This is a LOTR-themed Wordle game, active daily just as the standard one is!😄 It's my favorite Wordle variant because it uses 5 letter words from the whole text of the LOTR (which will include other language words, for example).

South Pacific, a bit south of New Zealand's South Island, and perhaps 1,000 kilometers and some to the east. Nearest land are the Chatham Islands of New Zealand to the north-west. The Chatham's antipodes are in south central France north of the city of Montpellier, in what seems to be serious boonies.

Also in the middle of the ocean., south-east of Madagascar. "Watch for sharks" 😂

Do you guys think I can swim to Washington?🤔

I was warned that I'd get wet. Can't say I'd enjoy the experience.

Also, just to clarify, are you a hunter who hunts elves or an elf who hunts other species, @allsignspointtoRivendell? I want to set my boundaries before I get hurt.
