The Newbieguide Livejournal community provides overviews, written by different fans who claim a fandom, of where to find various fandoms on LiveJournal. A typical post includes a brief summary of the source material and lists of associated resources and communities. It is a good first stop for newbies.

Besides fandom overviews, Newbie Guide posts include "Other Fannish Topics" such as:

• Basic Do/Don't Post (for the comm) by devildoll
• Fans & Characters of Color/Anti-Racism Resources [1] by zvi_likes_tv
• How to post your fanfiction on LJ by brown betty
• Multi-Fannish Meta by cathexys
• Podfic [2] by general_jinjur
• Vidding [3] by permetaform
• Writing & Writer Resources by mass_hipgnosis
• Dude, Where's My Fandom? (on Dreamwidth) post by devil doll

In 2012, the mod announced, "I'm not deleting the community, and all the (mostly outdated) information here will remain forever and ever or until LJ finally implodes completely, but unless someone wants to take over as admin, it will be closed to new updates going forward." The mod also noted that fandom activity on LiveJournal had decreased significantly and that there was likely no longer a need for the comm.
