meridian_roseI have a list of my credits/resources in the sidebar but it needs some updating as some sites have closed. Still plenty of graphic communities and resources however.
I'll choose some communities and sites to talk about here, mostly focused on writing.

etymology online for finding when words and phrases came into use and/or with their current connotation, very useful for any period piece
Behind the Name for looking up names by language or finding random names ; Nameberry has a number of list and generators and a search where you can specify letter, syllables, and origins ; Magic Baby Names s great where you choose names you like and it gives you ideas of others you might also find interesting. When you're naming a character this can be invaluable.
Fantasy Name Generators which has so many generators to give you random lists for anything from naming a b magical book to a Grishaverse character, to a modern Danish character to a restaurant name - or a river, or a mountain. Also with descriptions for everything from characters to plants to planents and flags e.g. The flag is made up of three horizontal stripes and a circle in light grey and brown. Their emblem consists of a twelve point star under tree, but the emblem is only shown on very special occasions. The emblem stands for their country's nature, their suffering and their bravery. Designed with role players in mind this is a great site for all writers needing a bit of inspiration.
Internet Typewriter is a free, no distractions, customisable text editor. You can sign up and access it on any device. You can turn on electronic or manual typewriter sounds! You can adjust the colours. You can print to pdf. There are paid features but I find this works well without - a free trial of the paid features is given to everyone automatically in November to support NaNoWriMo.
poetry: Rhymezone for rhymes; syllable counter
I will add a graphic resource, making icon tables for dreamdwidth and mention cool math games as a SFW site with a lot of fun games that aren't just for kids with physics, strategy, puzzles, platformers, and more.
