Hi there!
I've seen some awesome recommendations for sites and resources to help develop our characters, but I tend to forget to bookmark them, and then lose them so I thought it'd be a good idea to have a place for everybody to post their ideas and the websites they use, whether it be Pinterest, some random character name or plot generator, a place to find new PBs - anything! Please feel welcome to contribute your own resources, and I'll add them to the table with a note to thank you.
Of course, it's always best and most fun to come up with ideas yourself, but sometimes you get stuck and just need a little inspiration. This is what these resources are intended for!
Important note: Sites marked in *red asterisks* may contain content that is NSFW, not appropriate for young people, or may use strong language. Please proceed cautiously! ^^ Similarly, please let me know if a site you're recommending may contain such content.
