Project:Further Reading

Introduction
Can't get enough information on plurality? Here are some useful resources that the community here have used to make this project run, or otherwise notable articles deemed important. We do not endorse the entirety of any site linked here.

Overviews
Basic guides to multiplicity, the history of the plural community, and other general content.
 * A Layman's Guide This interactive, if not outdated guide, was published in 2004 by the Four and Twenty group (AKA Blackbirds). It covers many frequently asked questions about living as multiple, associated beliefs, and related topics. Some links may be broken.
 * LB Lee's PluralWiki This covers mainly the older groups, individuals, and media created in the plural communities. If you're new to the scene, this may give you a good foundation for how the modern plural sphere functions.

Glossaries
Lists created by other systems, used here.
 * Astraea's Web One of the earliest still-functional glossaries, this page provides an overview of the most common terms used in the online plural communities from the 1990s and 2000s. Many of the external links are broken, however. (Astraea's site is generally one of the best resources for early multiple jargon, conventions, and topics.) However, controversy surrounding this site exists, as accusations of plagiarism have swirled around for years. Be careful when citing this page.
 * Google Site A more modern compendium run by the Polybius Network, Papilionem Polyplex, and Cluster Brains.
 * Carrd A site by the CS&G system. It has been circulated pretty widely online.
 * Google Doc Another critical document. This contains many terms, but can be difficult to navigate and missing citations.
 * DID-Research Although specifically through the lens of traumagenic DID, many acronyms and medical terms are explained on this page. Heavy trigger warning, though — did-research does not pull any punches.
 * Dark Personalities One of the funniest glossaries around, this list from 2009 contains some hidden gems that have not been picked up by the wider community or have died out over time.

Self-Help
A collection of useful resources for systems struggling with their multiplicity, persecutors, or other common issues.
 * How To Survive In A Strange World... A useful guide for fictives, walk-ins, soulbonds, and other headmates finding themselves in a different reality.
 * How Do I Know If I'm Plural? Although slightly pushy towards its own resources, this resource by Power To The Plurals can offer a good start to those questioning plurality.
