Thank you!

You're welcome!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I'm glad you appreciated this.

[vriddy]

So many fandom comms, thanks for putting the list together!

(A couple of typos, if that's helpful:
- fandom_on_dw is there twice
- holmes_minor is missing an @ for easy linking)

>> So many fandom comms, thanks for putting the list together!<<

Yeah, this is just half of it. I've been collecting these as I made Follow Friday posts, and some I've found while browsing various sources.

>> (A couple of typos, if that's helpful: <<

Much appreciated. There were so many fandom comms that I built this post differently, and the sheer size left more room for typos.
