User blog:Strawberry Cupcake Kitten/"List of Resources" Renovation

Okay so first thing's first, I'm sure all of you, especially the more recent users, have noticed that the wiki's List of Resources page is not... the most helpful thing in the world. It's outdated and cluttered and in need of some major renovation.

And I need the assistance of all of you to accomplish it. I envision this as being a collaborative effort, so do not be afraid of sharing your ideas. I will consider all of them carefully in hopes of creating a new resources page that we can all make use of, new and senior users alike.

(In the meantime, I would ask that no one edit the page from here on out. I've enlisted the help of Mina Aquamarinesandopals to assist me in renovating it, so only she has admin permission to do so for now.)

So! What can you offer, you ask? Well, there's lots of things. My vision of a new-and-improved resources page makes use of:
 * Databases of fairytales- particularly non-Western ones
 * References for fashion
 * Traditional dresses for Royalty (of any culture!) is a good start
 * Guides and references to culturally specific garb (like kimonos or sarees)
 * References for historical or dated fashions
 * Anything else you think would be useful in creating a new OC!
 * Character development tools- preferably anything that avoids the use of the term "Mary Sue"
 * This wiki has a strict policy against bases, traced art, and dollmakers so it's my personal opinion that we utilize a similar principle towards backgrounds, vectors, and cutouts. Still accepted, but keep to a minimum. I rarely see people use them anyway (likely due to the dead links, but I digress).
 * Artists who frequently do commisions for EAH fancharacters would be an excellent addition (I'll be sure to attain their permission before listing them publicly, though).
 * And anything else you think would fit under being a "resource"

You probably noticed that a few of these overlap with the How to Create an OC page, which is intentional. A renovation for both pages is in the works, but for now I think these things are better suited under this page. Or rather, my vision of what this page should be.

So if you have links that fit to any of the above, or any ideas at all, please share! I want this to be a community effort, and I'm excited to listen to and work with all of you.

Thank you for any and all contributions!
