1st stop: recruiting fandoms

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Sign up here to claim your fandom for 1 month - beginning October November 2003. Sign-up sheets for subsequent volunteers will be put up when I know a fandom has representation. Posting rights will be given during your volunteer period.

Volunteers are asked to post a minimum of 1 fic per week in the following format:

Subject: Title by Author (Rating)

Fandom: YOUR FANDOM
Pairing: (no abbreviations, please)
Author on LJ: (if applicable)
Author Website: (author's fics, if available)
Why this must be read:

Emphasis should be on fics that you feel are especially outstanding and accessible examples of your fandom, e.g. it plays on a repeated theme in the show, it's a fandom or a personal favourite, it was a controversial fic, it's good smut. Whatever.

Warnings are not required beyond what the author has posted on their own stories.

Initial volunteers are also asked to post a synopsis of the characters in their fandom. Examples can be found HERE. A brief overview of all the major players with thumbnail pics (don't you hate reading porn without knowing what the guys look like?!) and links to your fandom archives.

Some fandoms are too small to warrant year-round inclusion. If that's the case, go HERE to sign up for a one-month feature!

Those are my demands. *g*

Of course you can do Buffy/Angel! I'm happy you're playing. So, is it appropriate to lump them together like that? Or would it be better to have 2 separate categories?

I don't know. What do I have to do exactly anyway?

Okay, let's split Buffy and Angel up. It's less work for you, and I think they're distinct fandoms anyway.

So. Here's what you have to do (should you accept your mission):

Prepare an overview of your fandom (Buffy?). The overview can be as detailed as you desire, I'm leaving it up to each volunteer to decide how much time they want to put into it. At minimum, I'd like a little detail on all the major players, some thumbnail picks and links to the major fandom archives. Some excellent examples have already been posted and are in the memories section. rhiannonhero's Highlander summary is especially good.

Once you've got that done (ideally before October 1st), you post it to the community. Then, during the month of October, you also make a minimum of 1 fic rec per week. And that's it.

Since you also asked about Pop Slash, here's the deal. You are the first name on the sign-up sheet, which means you're following zaneetas who did a fabulous Pop Slash overview and is reccing for the month of October. You'll only be responsible for recs in November. BUT. Because her overview is mainly about *NSync, if you *wanted* to do an Eminem overview, I wouldn't say no. *g* Obviously that's completely up to you.

Does this all make sense? If not, I'm on AIM - DCookKC if you want to chat.
