Fandom Inquiry: Possible Interest in a Community?

[themostepotente]

Some of you may recall this thread of mine.

What I was wondering was how many people would be interested in a community that centers around newer, unknown authors/underappreciated authors?

I'm more than willing to put the time into this as moderator, but there has to be enough interest for me to do so.

What say you?

--P

ETA: I would expand this to include fan artists as well.

But who decides who is under-appreciated, because I skimmed over the thread and a LOT of those names I recognized and noticed that they have a fairly dedicated (and sometimes large) following.

My question exactly.

Ditto. Aside from that question, it does sound like a good idea.

Yep, I'll second that. I just took a look at that list, and couldn't help laugh when I saw both Tradescant and Lupercali (Pru) on the list. Dude, they're some of the most recced and appreciated authors in this fandom.

So there you have your problem...because while some newer readers may think they're underappreciated, on the whole scale of fandom, they are certainly not. :-)

Ahaha. I have NO CLUE who they are. I'd be one of those poor saps who would rec them, thinking they were unknown and underappreciated.
