Is there a list of previously retired fandoms somewhere?

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Sorry, there is not. But if you have a fandom in mind, I'm happy to answer here in comments.

Do you need drivers for Harry Potter?

[twigged.livejournal.com]

HP has actually been retired from full-time status for lack of reccers. I think crack_broom siphoned many of them off. If you want to rec it here, you'd need to do so in the small/miscellaneous fandoms category.

Will I need to to rec and other fandoms as well???

[twigged.livejournal.com]

No.

[tatgoat.livejournal.com]

So, can I rec HP at June???

[twigged.livejournal.com]

No, you need to sign up in the Small/Miscellaneous fandoms post (there is a link to the sign up sheets above), and you'll be tapped when your turn comes up.

Works for me... thanks...

Whoops, totally misread the poll. Is anyone eligible to become a driver? If so, I am available for Star Trek.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you'll need to sign up in the proper place. I've added a link to the sign-up sheets in the main post above.

[izzyfics.livejournal.com]

Just did! Thanks.

[quoshara.livejournal.com]

I did the same thing too. Oops. *blush*

Is X-Men movieverse a retired fandom?

[twigged.livejournal.com]

No, it's not.

Hmmm, very difficult. The fandoms that I think would be sustainable in terms of volunteers for more than a month or two, like Sherlock or Inception, don't really do it for me, but I just don't think the interest is out there for the fandoms I would most love to see here. Quite the conundrum.

I wonder if some fandoms shouldn't be gathered together under the umbrella of "Classic Fandoms" like all the anime fandoms are in a single volunteer thread together. Some of the older fandoms seem to be begging for volunteers every month. Is that a horrible idea or maybe something workable?

That's actually something I was pondering last night. When I get some time this summer there are several revamps coming, and a "classics" category may be one of them. Thanks!

qbic1: Blakes7 is a retired fandom (as I know, having been the world's most useless reccer) but succeeded by much better ones.

I voted "crossovers" even though that's not a single fandom. There are just SO MANY amazing crossovers out there that simply having one day a month isn't enough, especially when it's limited to only the fandoms that are up for that month.
