So, you want to take a turn behind the crack_van wheel?


First, go HERE to see if your fandom already has a sign-up sheet. And, um, sign up!


Don't see your fandom listed? That just means it's not part of our full-time rotation. You can still make recs as one of our Monthly Featured Fandoms!
Comment HERE to get in line. If a fandom overview has not already been completed for your fandom, you are encouraged but not required to provide one. A list of the fandom overviews already submitted can be found HERE.


Think your fandom is big enough to warrant year round inclusion in the community? If you can round up at least eight other reccers, then comment below to claim the first month of recs. A sign-up sheet for subsequent months will be put up when I know a fandom has adequate representation. You also agree to prepare a brief overview of your fandom.


Overview guidelines
There are some great examples saved in Memories. 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.

Picture hosting is available through the comm's moderators, and is preferred if you cannot provide permanent hosting of your overview pics.

Go forth and pimp it!

Hi hi! I've got twelve willing volunteers to rec in Marvel or Iron Man fandom over here (http://cupidsbow.livejournal.com/298620.html).

There was a lot of support for the broader Marvel category amongst those who signed up, even though the original spur was to rec Iron Man.

If you guys go for the larger Marvel category, it would work the same way the current DCU category does; although we'd obviously be starting out with a focus on Iron Man... especially as there's no way I'm attempting an overview of all Marvel canon! O_o

Actually, I think I'm going to try and get fan experts from both Iron Man comic and movie fandoms to help me with the overview, so that both are represented -- but that is for me to worry about. :)

In short: Marvel/Iron Man for the win! Give me instructions and I will get things organised on my end.
