There are a variety of resources i use when I'm writing fics. Here are my top 5.


1.
SGCommand the Stargate fandom wiki is useful for obvious reasons, but did you know it also has episode transcripts? These are so useful when you want to double check canon dialogue.




2. Do you like sound when you're writing, but find music too distracting? Ambient Mixer has audio that will play in the background but not take your attention away from your muse. It has everything from the Slytherin Commonroom to Croft Manor. If you're in the mood for writing some McShep, I made a Rodney's Lab mix to set the scene.


3. Thesaurus.com is useful for when you just can't get away with using a particular word again and need an alternative, or when a word is on the tip of your tongue and you don't want to spend the whole evening chasing it.


4. If you need to edit some HTML or create a working link, WordHTML is a good place to start.


5. Fantasy Name Generators is useful if you need to create a name for an OC or an original planet or race. You probably won't generate the perfect name to use, but you will get some pointers and inspiration. There are generators for just about any topic you can think of.

Those are all great. I spend WAY too much time on Thesaurus.com.

I tend to listen to classical music when I write, but when I'm brainstorming, I like to use one of the "Coffeeshop" ambient noise apps. I've never heard of Ambient Mixer, but damn - I am bookmarking it now! And yes - Rodney's lab is awesome!

Ambient noise is great, but when it comes to writing a battle scene or such, putting O Fortuna on repeat, with maybe a little 1812 Overture, is just perfect!

Oooh, Ambient Mixer looks amazing! Thank you!
I have an excessive music collection and many playlists and channels on youtube - always eager to get new resources! It usually depends on my mood (nowadays I need Black Swan from BTS on infinite loop, hahahaha) and on the thing I write what I listen to but Ambient Mixer sounds very helpful!
