snowflake day 12: I issue a (fanlore) challenge!

[green]

Day 12

In your own space, create your own challenge. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This morning I updated my Fanlore entry. Now I've thought of something I could add to it, but I wasn't thinking of it at the time. I need to add that I have a transformative works statement! I think that's notable.

Anyway, my challenge to you is to

1. Create your own Fanlore entry
or, if you have one
2. Update your entry, or add a notable work.

OR if your entry is up to date

3. If your favorite fanwork doesn't have an entry, create a page for it!

4. and if you've already done all that in the past, create a new entry for a fave fanwork.

Editing a wiki is a little daunting if you've never done it before, but Fanlore has little tutorials and templates to make it easier for you. Look on the left side of the screen for "shortcuts for editors".

If you do it, leave me a note and a link to what you did (if you want).

yay!!

[shadowhive]

I meant to post that on snowflake not here oops *fails

I’ll have a look athe fanlore thing when I’m home 💜

[green]

lol I figured. okay!

[tangeriner]

I finally stopped just thinking about it and updated my fanlore entry with the most current state of affairs (since I am in the best position to do so). Following your lead, I also added my transformative works policy. Ty for this challenge!

[spikedluv]

I never thought of creating my own author page. Thanks for the prompt.

[green]

That's awesome!

[green]

You're welcome! :D

[sexycazzy]

I had no idea that you could make a fanlore page about yourself/other fanfiction writers! I'm a bit uneasy about writing a page about myself, although. I have no idea what to write!! lol

[sunkelles]

this is so cool! i love when people give me an excuse to talk about myself... so making my own fannish wiki page? you are a deity for giving me this excuse. also i can't create my own fan page until later because i'm a new user and they won't give me the keys to the kingdom until i'm there a little longer, but i WILL be doing it. you beautiful human being

here's a link to something that i DID do though. the young justice comic page needed some sprucing up so i fixed some things :) https://fanlore.org/wiki/Young_Justice_(TV_series)

[sunkelles]

green wrote about how she got into fandom and her writing style. you could do that! or you could just do the bare bones of information if you feel uncomfortable with the idea of that. you could list the fandoms that you've written for, when you posted your first fic, where you've posted fic, any pseuds you've used?

[green]

That's so awesome, I'm glad I gave you the oomph to do it. I didn't realize new users couldn't create pages, but that's good to know.

[green]

What sunkelles said! It doesn't have to be everything at once, either. You can go back and add to it as you think of things.

[goddess47]

I went and created an account... now I have to figure out what to say!

But that's further than I was before!

Good prompt!

[green]

Yay!

I love Fanlore so much, so it's great to see people getting more involved with it.

[that_mireille]

I would seriously have no idea what to put on a Fanlore page.

"Mireille has been jaded about fandom since 1983."

[green]

lolol <3333

[corvidology]

This is a really great idea. I tend to forget about fanlore unless I'm looking something up there and without updates and new posts... yeah. :D

[toujours_nigel]

I've just created an account on fanlore, and will update my entry.

[green]

Happy to have reminded you!

[green]

that's great!

[shadowhive]

Ok proper reply now I’m back home and less of a fail!

It’s funny you mention fanlore, since I ended up there last night. I ended up on the Ray page and there were so many red links to the pairings (despite the main mcr page being so detailed) and it was so sad, poor Ray

[green]

Aww, poor Ray.

[shadowhive]

Yeah, he’s always neglected. Even his entry mentioned he’s only usually in things as a side pairing

[pronker]

How neat! I've created one for an author but not for myself. *food for thought*

[green]

He needs his own love fest!

[writedragon]

I created a fanlore account! Hope to create a profile at some point (and to include all three of my fannish usernames).

[shadowhive]

He does! For one of my last snowflakes I did a ray prompt thing so I’ve been working on giving him more love

[green]

I'm glad I gave you something to think about!

[green]

Yay for creating an account! Fanlore really is amazing.

[green]

w00t!

[shadowhive]

Thanks! So if you have a Ray pairing you’d like to see, feel free to leave me a prompt 💜

Hope you’re doing ok!

[green]

I'm really not into bandom anymore other than looking at pics sometimes and listening to the music...

[shadowhive]

That’s ok, I figured I’d ask just in case💜

[green]

💚💚💚

[pronker]

Icon love!

[skytintedwater]

I signed up to fanlore but it won't let me make my own page yet. But I still want to.

Thanks for this challenge, it's a really good idea.

[green]

I didn't realize it wouldn't let new users make pages but it makes sense, to keep down on the spam or bots or trolls. I'm glad you're going to do it, though! Thank you.

[brumeier]

I have created a Fanlore account! Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but it's there. ::grins:: Thanks for the inspiration!

[green]

Yay, that's great!

[setsuntamew]

I created a fanlore account but there's a 4 hour waiting period before I can create any pages. So, that'll be a project for tomorrow! Thank you for the challenge :D

[green]

Thank you for doing it!

[setsuntamew]

Thank you for the inspiration!! There's not much on it yet, but I did start working on my fanlore page now that I can :D

[green]

Yay, that's great!

[dragonofeternal]

I have created my fanlore page! I'm probably also going to update the page for the Homestuck Shipping World Cup, as much of the information currently on fanlore for that event is incomplete or inaccurate.

[green]

That's great! \o/

[that_mireille]

"They have produced no notable fanworks and have managed to stay a NNF for 35 years, which is pretty impressive in and of itself." (Also, I cannot imagine anyone looking me up on Fanlore anyway. Though I'm occasionally tempted to create a page for myself regardless...)

[skytintedwater]

Done! https://fanlore.org/wiki/SkyTintedWater
I also discovered that one of my favourite shows doesn't have a page, so that's next on my list :)

[green]

That's great!
