First off, this list of resources is not going to include AVEN. This is because AVEN is terribly inconsistent with its definitions of various terms relating to asexuality. Also, it has turned into a toxic community that shames asexuals for what they choose to do or not do. This site was created as a safer, more respectful location for asexual and asexual-spectrum people to talk about asexuality. Here are some other good resources:
Swankivy:
She has written some fantastic arguments in defense of asexuality and asexual people and she's made some great videos about asexuality.

Wikipedia:
Wikipedia has a pretty good overview of asexuality.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality
Asexual Awareness Week:
Asexual Awareness Week's website, in addition to having plenty of information about Asexual Awareness Week, also has plenty of great resources about asexuality.

This is a post that a friend and I wrote about asexuality:

The following compilations were found on Asexual Awareness Week's website, and I thought they were the best and most informative ones the website had:
www.asexualawarenessweek.com/prerelease/docs/ASEXUALITY-and-LGBT-AAW-2011-version.pdf
www.asexualawarenessweek.com/prerelease/docs/LGBTpamphlet.pdf
www.asexualawarenessweek.com/prerelease/docs/AsexualityBias.pdf
The following are various articles about asexuality that have been published in credible sources:
