Fanfic

[sanguinity]

A few days ago, annwfyn posted to ask whether fanfic counts.

The mod team has been talking about this, and it turns out that all three of us would rather that fic recs not be posted to this comm. Our reasons vary, but include the anticipation that fic recs could become heavy, and any particular rec is generally only of interest to people who follow that fandom. Fanfic also has a distinct culture, enough so that we feel it makes sense that fic appear on a different comm, one which could then be organized around the conventions of fic.

So our question for you: would anyone like to step up and create a sister comm for fanfiction?

I dont have any idea what this post is about.

I'm not sure which part I need to expand upon -- are you familiar with fanfiction? Fans writing stories about characters from existing works.

I can understand why you made this decision.

I'm not willing to create a comm, but I will join it if someone else does :)

A fanwork community would be good, but very since a large proportion of fans don't reveal their identity --- recent scuffles notwithstanding.

(I wish I had the time to set a community up, though.)
