Comprehensive list of fanfiction resources

Hi everyone. I'm trying to compile a comprehensive list of fanfiction resources—sites, forums, tools, communities… I've got a starter list from my own browsing, but I know I'm missing a lot. I'd appreciate your input.

I'm especially interested in:

• Sites or tools that recommend fanfics based on your feedback or ratings (like a "if you liked this, try this" engine).
• Sites, forums, or communities specifically for dark fics, or for progression/system/gamer/litrpg fics.
• Other hidden gem forums, niche archives for specific fandoms, or lesser-known tracking/discovery tools.

Here's what I have so far:

General Forums/Archives:

• Archive of our own, Fanfiction.net (most popular fanfic sites)
• Royal Road, ScribbleHub, Webnovel, fiction.live
• Wattpad (popular because it has a phone app)
• Questionable Questing, SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity (forum software, they have very limited search/filtering capabilities)

Fandom-Specific/Specialty Hubs:

• Dark Lord Potter (primarily Harry Potter, especially darker takes, with other fandom sections)
• HPFanfiction Recommender (discontinued due to reddit not allowing bots any longer)

Tools, Databases, & Discovery:

• fichub.net (for downloading)
• ficdb.net (for discovery)
• Calibre + FanFicFare plugin
• Celestial Gambler, Chaos Gacha by Bronz Deck

Communities (Reddit/Discord/Other):

• Subreddits: r/FanFiction, r/ProgressionFantasy, r/dark_fanfiction, r/NarutoFanfiction, r/WormFanfic (and many other fandom-specific ones).
• Discord servers: Gaming Omniverse, Waifu Catalog, Celestial Forge, Celestial Emporium
• Lemmy: reddthat.com/c/fanfiction, literature.cafe/c/fanfiction and lemmy.ml/c/fanfiction
• NodeBB: I know of Darkscribes but it's completely empty. Are there any NodeBB communities for fanfic or general literature?

Personal tracking lists:

• For example, my reading list sorted by date and by rating

Misc

• AO3 progression fantasy search
• Space Battles "Progression Fantasy" tag
• QQ "Waifu Catalog" tag
• WeakToStrong Webnovel
• Rulate "System" tag
• Kemono has a similar artists tab
• Interactive Waifu Catalog to quickly search image of characters when reading story
• Who's your favorite fanfiction author?
• Which is your favorite fandom?

Fandoms with progression fantasy system

• Danmachi
• Konosuba
• Solo Leveling

Thanks in advance for helping build this out. I think a lot of us would find it useful.
