[question] how big a fandom are we?

[bantha_fodder]

I've been pondering the multi-fandom communities like crack_van and ship_manifesto. So now I have a question. Do you (personally) think that we have a big enough fanfic community/network of people writing great fic to warrant being a regular fandom at crack_van? According to the crack_van rules, to become a regular fandom we have to have eight people willing to rec, and be able to rec no less than four recs a month (one a week). See, because I rec, like, a fic (or two fics) a day on galacticanews, I totally think it's doable.

Opinions?

Also, if BSG were to become a regular fandom on crack_van, who would rec? Volunteers here, please.

ETA: Our list thus far: bantha_fodder, trajictale, stars_like_dust, ilanabean42, storydivagirl, angualupin, myalchod, lyssie, ancarett, oruhamiko, fairestcat and zeplum. Maybe woodface.

Wow. That's a year's worth of reccers right there.

Sounds great to me!

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

Are you volunteering to drive the crack van with us?

[taffetadarling.livejournal.com]

Sure! I love the fic in this fandom.

I know Lost just became a regular on crack_van from the time they were posted as a regular fandom to the time recc's actually started being made was about a month or a month and half so I think a nice build up of fics could happen in that time. With the US about three weeks from seeing the season finale, I'm sure a lot of fics will come after that.

And I'd totally take a turn at recc'ing. Done Farscape a few times and it's quite fun.

I know I've said this in chat, but I'd be happy to rec. (And we totally have enough fic in this fandom to have a place at crack_van.)

I'd be willing to do it later down the line, say by the time Season 2 is airing in the US.

I think it might need another season to get a stronger fan base. Dunno. I'd be willing to rec but I read way too little at the moment. Maybe that's because most seems to be Kara/Lee? ;o)

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to widen my horizons - I read a Lee/Roslin this evening, and it seems really well written but OMG my horror at trying to read it...I just couldn't do it. I am a PATHETIC FAN.

[morwen_peredhil]

I know! I just can't make myself read Lee/Roslin.

[woodface]

*snickers* Most of the Lee/Roslin fics I tried to read were just horrible. It might not be you ;o)

[ilanala]

I'd probably be willing to do it. There seems to be a decent amount of fic out there already.

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

I'd do it a little bit down the line - because so much fic has spoilers through the first season that I haven't read yet, that I plan to go back to.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

But you've only three weeks to go! Are you excited?

[angualupin.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not? It would force me to get my act together and actually rec in my own journal, which is my way of keeping links to all the fics I like.

I might well rec, but that would have to wait until I had internet at home (damn it, housemates, get that wireless router NOW! any day, they say ...), because currently I take things home to read and forget about them by the time I'm back on the Net again. :D

(So that's a yes, once my resources get together. Verizon needs to hurry up and mail the damn thing, or have it arrive, or SOMETHING, before I go insane.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*raises hand* I can rec. Even if I read so very little...

[ancarett]

I can rec. I will even rec outside of my OTP (hah!) -- there's some good stuff out there and more coming daily!

[oruhamiko.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to rec. I read nearly everything in this fandom I can find, which isn't that difficult at this point.

[fairestcat]

I could certainly rec and do rec for crack_van often in other fandoms.
