Hopefully you're seeing posts about fanarchive. Hopefully you've heard about the comm and its project. Hopefully you're interested because I truly believe this is one of the coolest things I felt I had a chance to be a part of.


A group of fanfic fans is forming to set up a nonprofit organization for collective fannish projects, including building a central fanfic archive. We are setting up shop in the fanarchive community on livejournal, located here:

http://community.livejournal.com/fanarchive/

A couple of big updates have been posted today (Monday June 4), including the basic outline of our organization structure and our call for volunteers. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please stop by, give us your thoughts, and sign up for announcements!

Here are the two posts:

You also do not need an LJ account to make comments on posts -- please just remember to put your name/pseud somewhere in your comment, so everyone knows who is talking, and include your email address so others can reply to you directly if you want.

Thank you!

Even if you're not sure you want to get involved in the bigger stuff, I recommend joining the comm and keeping tabs about what is going on. This is about us.

Oh, in that case.

I GOT MINE FIRST SO GO BLAME YOUR MENTAL INSTABILITY ON FEMME. At any rate I never used to be James Marsters.

Femme is getting drunk celebrating her MS degree.

I know you didn't used to be James Marsters- wait. Maybe you're him NOW. HOW WOULD I KNOW.

I could be. I very well could be.

And you could be VK and taking off your clothes.

Suddenly the universe aligns.

*also your icon made me snort water up my nose*

Isn't it great? earth_vexer made it. I like every single icon she makes, which is saying a lot for me I think, considering the majority of them are Spuffy-related.
