The Fannish Friday 5 was a Livejournal meme community modeled after the Friday 5[1] meme that was popular at the time of the comm's creation. Instead of general questions it offers fannish questions.[2] The community was founded by natlyn, slashmommy and lanchid. For a few years penknife took over the helm and then semielliptical and nolivingman co-moderated.

- –There is the assumption that you have only one fandom
- –There is the assumption that you are into slash
