Talk:101 Ways To End Up In A Canadian Shack

Lists of Fans?

Does it make sense to include a listing of the 30 fans who contributed to the original challenge (many of them, I suspect, have Fanlore pages already), and then once the 10th anniversary challenge is closed, to edit this page to include a listing of whoever contributes to the new challenge, too?

Depends. Are we going to add all the titles and fandoms of the contributions to this challenge? If yes, then adding the author names makes sense. --Doro 00:13, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Hmm; the more I think about that, the more it seems that it might make the page really unwieldy. So maybe it's not a good way to go. Kass 16:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Kass, I built this page out a lot because it’s nominated for a Featured Article, but definitely you as someone who’s been around at both challenge times, please adjust or tweak the way I elaborated! I didn’t list the fans who participated for either (although one of the trickster.org links has Speranza’s page for the original challenge, which does have all authors/fandoms), but what I did do was add a section for a handful of authors (including you, heh) who have a one-two-three punch of Fanlore pages as Fans, contributions to the original challenge, and contributions to the anniversary challenge. I included internal links to the fandoms when I could, but for folks who wrote in more than 5 fandoms… well, I summarized heh. Of the original chat, the people I wasn’t sure about identifying were linbot and Terri - the others I could kinda extrapolate - so if you know they’re around Fanlore, throw in some internal links if you have them?

Wank

I don't even know what to do with this, but there's wank about the use of "Canadian shack." Linkdump: http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1284691.html, http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/26392.html?thread=116667928#t116667928. --Anenko 02:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC) ETA: Not that I think the discussion needs a huge section in the article, but here's a more comprehensive roundup of links: http://naraht.dreamwidth.org/478950.html. --Anenko 12:53, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Total tangent, but I find it very entertaining how clear it is that several of us wander around ffa and yet none of us breathed a word about here at the "if you recognized someone" thread. :D --Sk 02:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Heh. I know several people on my flist/circle visit ffa, and obviously there are some Fanlore editors who do. I wouldn't be able to recognize any of them when they go anon, though. --Anenko 11:45, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I hadn't seen the f_w material, though I did edit the page earlier today to indicate that while most fans responded to the shack anniversary party with glee, at least one fan took offense. I suppose if there's f_w stuff happening, we ought to add the links to the page -- though in that case I find myself wanting to link also to a few squee posts from people who were excited to see the challenge happen, because I don't want the page to give the overall impression that negative response was greater than positive response, you know?

links

Extra thanks for all your work adding archival urls, Ellakbhesse! I changed a lot of the existing external links to the cite web template, but I clearly missed some (thanks for catching that!) and I definitely ran out of energy before adding archival-url to all the Dreamwidth links.

Joanna R thanks for your congratulations on my edits, I haven't added anything to Fanlore for a while due to health problems. It's great to be back helping to expand this amazing tool which is Fanlore -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 02:00, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Ellakbhesse, I hope you feel or continue to feel better, and I agree, I feel so fortunate to come here and find reminders of fandom culture I like now - or that I remember from the past! Joanna R (talk) 06:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
