DECEMBER IS SMALL FANDOM MONTH ON crack_van!

In our ongoing attempt to reduce the backlog, December will feature small/miscellaneous fandoms exclusively. Regular fandoms will be on hiatus until the New Year.

Q: Who can participate?
A: If you've either signed up in the small fandom thread previously, or you've already completed your fandom overview and signed up to jump the queue, you are welcome to participate.

Q: Okay, then what do I need to do to get posting access on December 1st?
A: First, comment below with a link to your original comment now so we get an idea of the interest, and to ensure we don't duplicate fandoms. Then get to work on your fandom overview! Your overview should include, at minimum:

Pics & Bios - thumbnails and a brief introduction to the main characters

Overview - including major plot points/story arcs

Fandom Resources - major archives, recs lists, live journal communities, etc. People are always welcome to leave links for additional archives or personal recs pages in the comments of your overview.

Prior to December 1st you'll be asked to comment again to confirm your participation, and you will be given posting access for the 1st of the month.



At this time we do not intend to repeat small fandoms which have already been featured here. If interest in 1st-time fandoms is low, then we may open it up on a first come, first served basis.

If you have previously commented in one of the small fandom threads and have since lost interest, please take a moment to delete your comment. This saves us a lot of time and back-and-forth as we try to fill the regular monthly small fandom slots.

Thank you and happy holidays!

Your Mods,

shaggirl and stopawhile

I'd be interesteed in doing Wilby Wonderful for December. My original comment is here.

“She’s dead...wrapped in plastic.”

A while ago I volunteered (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/6006.html?thread=2464374#t2464374) to write up Twin Peaks, and I’m still game.

[rgbrobbie.livejournal.com]

Even though it's been nearly two years, and I'm not involved in the fandom anymore, I'd still like to rec Real Ghostbusters. (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/6006.html?thread=2078326#t2078326)

[nightwalker.livejournal.com]

I volunteered to do Yu Yu Hakusho (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/6006.html?thread=2460022#t2460022) a while back and I'd still like to.

[mxtape.livejournal.com]

I just volunteered myself (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1036751.html?thread=5270991#t5270991) for Newsies.

My original comment offering to jump the queue to rec The Pretender is here (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1036751.html?thread=5065423#t5065423). I would love love love to rec it, and I already have a write up prepared.

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

I'm happy to do anthropomorfic (stories about non-human protagonists): http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/1036751.html?thread=4431055#t4431055

This is a weird fandom because it has no canon, but a lot of the stories are meta *about* fandom or fanfic.

If you don't think it fits crack_van, that's cool, and if you get a full house of other volunteers, I'm okay with doing it another time. Bascially, whatever makes your life easiest, I'm good with.

[delurker.livejournal.com]

December's going to be so cool! Yay!

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Sounds interesting. Plan on December!

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to decide if this is ironic or just weird, because I know of at least two small fandoms that are waiting to make their Van bid until after December, in the hopes something new and shiny turns up on yuletide. O.o

[toomuchfandom.livejournal.com]

I'm willing to do Mutant X

*bounces*

This show neeeds some love:D

[ancarett]

Would you like a Superman movieverse fandom reccing (Chris Reeve's four through Brandon Routh's recent turn "Superman Returns")? I could rec for that, easy as pie. I'll even try to whip up an overview if that'd be useful.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Sounds great, thanks!

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Yay, I am so glad someone is doing this! And just in case, if you're doing a fandom overview, do you know about the new Wilbylinks at http://del.icio.us/wilbylinks which replaces pearl_o's outdated page?

[sperrywink]

Yup, I've got that. (And thank you and secret_garden for continuing that list!)

I've also got your rec list and ds_6degrees, but if you know of any more helpful links, I'd be grateful.

(Squee! I'm very excited about this as well!)

[spikedluv]

Here's my original comment.

Question, though: I signed up to prepare the overview as well as fic recs. Did you want me to do both, or just the overview? Because I see that someone else is also rec'ing for Numb3rs during Dec, so I wasn't sure if you wanted two of us to do that. Thanks.

"Ai no kusabi" or "Fullmetal Alchemist"?

[moireach.livejournal.com]

I volunteered to rec The Office (US) here (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/6006.html?thread=4511350#t4511350) and would still love to! (Though actually with my fandom lj, kyrafic.)

[justabi.livejournal.com]

I'd like to rec Numb3rs in December. My origional comment. (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/6006.html?thread=3423862#t3423862)

[medie]

I was wanting to do something for this and it just hit me tonight that I could ask about Torchwood so...I did. here

Question

[likethesun2.livejournal.com]

I volunteered to rec Band of Brothers as a small fandom (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/6006.html?thread=2239862#t2239862) a while back, and I'd love to make a go of it in December. But my November is going to be crazy-busy, so I wanted to check: does the overview need to be posted on 12/1? Because I can have it done in early December, no problem, but won't have a spare minute to write it up prior to the first of December.

[jenavira.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell.

Saiyuki? I must pimp my new fandom.

I want to do the movie Sky High. My original comment is here. I'm writing up an overview at this very moment, and I'm quite able to rec fic in December.
