Have to agree with many other comments here - how would you define "new", "unknown" and "underappreciated"?
Does it mean that you can't have more than three fics written, that you can't have over a certain number of reviews, that you have to have under a certain number of people on your friends list? And do you get kicked out again after you've been a member for more than 6 months because then you're no longer new?
Would "unknown" refer to the HP fandom in general, or the ship/genre people write? Would it be restricted to LJ or would it refer to all online HP fandom? I just don't see how you could measure that.
And as for "underappreciated", aren't we all? ;)
(Seriously, I think this is so subjective that you won't get anywhere if you try and define it. Unless you make it a reccing community where the choice of recs is purely based on the personal reading preferences of the reccer, or something.)
I'm sorry I'm sounding so negative here, I'm all for appreciating comparatively new and so far overlooked authors and encouraging them whenever you come across them - I just think it's very hard to define them as a group.
no subject
