I like editing and organizing so I thought I could help out here.
Recently my main involvement in fandom has been reading, archiving, and recommending fanfic. (If we have any of the same fandoms hit me up for fic recs, I love swapping recommendations!) I've been reading a lot of Star Wars time travel, MDZS, and Batfam fic recently, but there's a pretty long list of other fandoms that I read in (see below).
Fanlore-wise, my main goals are to expand the wiki's coverage of webcomic and video game fan activity. I've admittedly been making very little progress on that recently because I'm lazy tracking down sources and synthesizing my scattered understanding of fandom things into wiki articles is hard, but if there's a specific project that you'd like another pair of hands on in this space please feel free to reach out to me!
(My secondary goal is to make sure that creators and fans that I like get pages on here, but I try to balance "I think this person is cool" against "this person is notable within the fandom in general", hehe)
As of June 20th (2022), I've made 1000 edits on Fanlore!(As of July 2nd it's over 1400 b/c then I went and did a bunch of category cleanup haha.)
As of July 20th, I've created just shy of 100 pages on Fanlore, not including redirects.
As of September 18th, I've made over 2500 edits.
As of December 20th, 4000 Edits and One featured article!
As of April 19th (2023), I've created over 500 pages (excluding redirects).
As of April 20th, I've made 5000 edits.
abusing the {{Quotation}} template to make a fun notes/achievements section for myself

Note to self
Some pages that might make useful references for figuring out formatting and page organization on pages I want to create or add content to:
- Yesterday Upon the Stair for a popular fanfic with recursive fan content
- Silver Queen for a fan with a large following, fanworks, recursive fandom, fan interaction
- Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn for a featured article on a ship
- No Man's Sky for a featured article on a video game
- Sabine (fan) for a featured article on a fan
- A Trekkie's Tale for a featured article on a (old and very influential) fanfic
- Twist and Shout for another featured article on a fic that get's into fan responses really well
- Kyou Kara Maou for a pretty good small/medium anime fandom -- suggested by reili
- Bendy and the Ink Machine for a video game fandom -- suggested by reili
- Vids/AMV pages: A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" -- "music video for a specific band? (what i'm saying is i would categorize it under the band, if it's for a specific band's mv)" -- reili
- Little Miss Perfect (song) -- "about the fandom around a specific fansong that has nothing to do with the original fandom" -- reili
Artists that have given explicit permission for their art to be used elsewhere with credit:
- lilit on Tumbr: atla, star wars, MDZS/the untamed, more fandoms
- Devin Elle Kurtz -- atla, pokemon
- buttercupart credit post-- cucumber quest, probably other
- ammeja -= BNHA, YoI, Steven Universe, probably other
- suntails -- idk, i saw this permission post while looking for something else -- HQ, MHA, Be More Chill, Gravity Falls, probably more
- polynya -- gave me permission to upload art to fanlore in discord
- andythelemon -- MANY anime fandoms, including OHSHC
- shiriartz -- Edwin mostly. also some naruto stuff?
- tomochingus -- Royai mostly. although they deleted their archive. but still, explicit permission!
- ravenchaser1024 has participated in a bunch of zines.
- tenmastrousers -- "**REPOSTS must have credit! twitter @/to_yoArt or ig @/to_yo.art** hxh, noragami, hnk & cnovel hell. "
- armorwing on deviantart -- "NOTE: I am allowing people to use these, all I ask is that I'm credited if it's posted online." (might be specifically for their 2021 valentines set?? todo: check)
Webcomics:
- "Of the books that make up the comic proper, the best is probably Blood Runs In The Family (the one with Elan’s dad). The ending of that book does what the ending of Homestuck was trying to do, but two years earlier and in a far more satisfying manner." explanation
Fanlore Note To Self
- advice here on renaming/moving pages
- "oh that was for character pages specifically. Help:Disambiguation Naming Conventions unless there's a reason to do otherwise (like......... you'd name a page Harry Potter (Harry Potter) which is silly) it's preferred to just use the series name to disambiguate. so in this case i'd go with "BNHA fanfic series" bc the general convention for stories is "[fandom] story" or "[fandom] fic" -- reili on discord
- for citing bookmarks on AO3: "you can use that URL for the access; in order to get the ID#, I think the easiest way rn is to go to that user's bookmarks, find the individual bookmark, and then Inspect Element to get the ID from the corresponding <li> element:" --lyrisey
- Category sorting: you can do
|
and it will sort that element to the top of the subcategories in the parent category and put it in a blank bin, instead of|*
- Page naming: generally don't do pre-emptive parentheticals. though I think i argued successful for it in the case of RtN
To Do List
- find fan reaction/review/etc quotes for all the pages I've made recently (check watchlist)
- keep filling in red links in the ATLA fandom
- make those fic and author pages you started on
- cross-fandom anime OP's: animatic for one anime that's in the style of--or even redrawing scenes of--another anime's opending/ending song. I have a bunch of examples of ppl doing the first JJK ED, and someone on discord suggested a few examples for other fandoms. TBH i'm not even sure how to organize a page on this phenomenon.
- ????Video game stuff????? except i'm in the bottom quartile of informed on video game stuff
- particularly Hollow Knight b/c Peri sent you a bunch of links for it!!
- (eventually)......dare I tackle Worm fandom??
- Fix the FMA page, I'm not happy with it's discussion of canon. also, add more stuff about fandom that's happened since like 2008
- reorganize and fill out the natsuyu page
make LullabyKnell, probably need to ask ppl for testimony/quotes/most notable works- L-space
- podficcers: RuneLore, sisi_rambles (ao3), etc
LLF comment project -- here's their tumblr link, archive linkalready exists here- Complicated Creation and spinoffs
- tumblr holidays
- figure out the template category management thing (see discord, before 5/10/2022)
- add discussion to the lede of this meta: Who Shot Who... (Marine Haddock suggested looking for fan responses to the essay and including them in the article as well)
- fix infoboxes for Akatsuki and ANBU, and probably go looking for other fictional organizations w/ pages.....
- fix all the infoboxes in Category:Naruto Character Groups -- at least all the teams should probably use Template:RelationshipGen
merge Team Kakashi into Team 7??? Give it a few more weeks for people to discuss on the talk page- follow up on Talk:Beta from last year
- The Sacred and the Profane (Good Omens story) needs reformatting
- cleanup/rework/formatting/archive links for The Princess Bride
- check charact4er names sorting for Prince of Tennis and Saint Seiya, i'm too tired to figure out what counts as surnames in these fandoms rightnow. Also maybe Mass Effect and some other vidya game fandoms w/ Aliens or other fictional cultures???
- Change Team Free Will to Gen Relationship template???? What is this "Character group" template btw??? never seen it before....
- Check back on Category:Hawkeye in a few days, and change the description to include the new TV show and other-Marvel-Hawkeyes-than-Clint if no one has any furhter guidance for me. Maybe clarify the Hawkeye Relationships cat to, and check if there's any other Hawkeye related cats.
Info posts about the Murderbot Discord (TODO: go look up it's official name) original, alledgedly abandoned server, this post says that the earlier discord was abandoned, (archive snapshot of) announcement about the new server, with defunct invite, current status, "ask to get into the invite queue", as of July 2022Thank enchantedsleeper for doing this before I got around to it!- Surveying people about "self-insert" vs. "SI OC" understanding and usage, so you can maybe revamp those pages
- add {{:ImageSummary}} template to file uploads lacking it (it's hard to add w/ the visual editor so we're currently advising people to leave info in plaintext so we can reformat later -- more in here on discord)
- Soulmates needs revamping -- lots of the "extra notes" are more examples that should be combined w/ the other examples scattered everywhere in the article so they're all in the same place
- Chomskian talking meowth comic, Archived version --tbh not sure where to put this but it should go on fanlore SOMEWHERE
- Altpower -- see talkpage
- IGG
- Yesterday Upon the Stair: Fix references to support the stats listed: see this edit
- Standardize Category:Boku no Hero Academia Relationships page names, if you feel like it (see talk page)
- Character pages: Brian Laborn (meta link, meta 2), Aisha Laborn (meta link), Jack Slash (meta; another meta), Siberian (meta)
- Spidersonas: I made a page for Sun-spider, but it was like a whole trend so i should make a page for those. Now that the second spiderverse movie is out, it seems to be coming back (links: 1,2, i've seen some on discord (IGG), check the tag); more links: Spidersona who thought they were gecko powers by spicy-universe, Fool Spider, "from Earth in the year 1200 or something idk" by absolute-artlad
- meta about "The Final Problem" (sherlock story that introduces Moriarty and kills off Holmes (later retconned) -- not sure where on fanlore to put it
- Rigel Black Chronicles (Fandom) -- could use backup, references; also stuff like the bookmark collection for catching recursive works (see discord: https://discord.com/channels/830818680396841020/830822638556807209/1123145603539554314 ) and the exchanges and discord server could get their own pages.
- other recursive fandom pages??
- Spider Crew: I've been seeing people use this to refer to a (usually gen?) grouping of Spiderverse characters (mostly Miles, Gwen, Hobie, Pavitr, sometimes Margo & a few other spider teens) --e.g. this art -- but searching the Tumblr tag turns up plenty of other groupings, both in Spider-Man broader fandom, and in other fandoms. TODO make a disambig page & a gen relationship page for the Spiderverse groupd
- Giving context for reviews/reactions quotes -- see discord convo
- move all of the Data links to point to the star trek character page instead of the disambig page: https://fanlore.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Data
- the Charles Dickens page could use a rewrite/reorg to make the links more visible. and general stylistic clarity
- Category:Stubs -- go through and replace with Template:Expand tags as needed
- Archiving project: Podfic#Preventing Link Rot but see also the webcite replacement project in the Discord server
- !! Top/Bottom Dynamics -- see talk page. This is kinda outside my wheelhouse but it's a pretty important topic so worth checking up on to make sure it gets done
Escape room: discussion on discord hereSlay the Princess- The Mew Trick: https://www.tumblr.com/centrally-unplanned/739904040223277056/amazing-discovery-by-op-the-mew-trick-is-the [writeup by anitaliasis]
- page on this meta: Thread1, thread 2
- Summoning circle -- figure out wtf is up with this page and fix
- Otakon -- help fill out con history, find old con reports online? old info packets, webpages, impact?
- Batfam fanfics: Liminal Spaces, Settle Our Bones, shutterbug by goldkirk, birds fly in every direction by distracted_dragon, Cor Et Cerebrum by audreycritter, [[]], probably a bunch by envysparkler, Kieron_ODuibhir (who is whetstonefires on tumblr! x), Cdelphikk, InsaneTrollLogic, idk probably more.
Categories in need of fixing
As of 28 June 2022, at least
Category:TolkienCategory:Visual ArtCategory:Interviews by Fans- Category:Academic Commentaries
- Category:Websites
- Category:News Media
- Category:Zines
Category:Challenges- Category:Disney
Category:Grimm's Fairy Tales- Category:Fanworks
- Category:Visual Art
- Category:Anthology Zines -- fix default/category sorting of some of the pages in teh category
- Category:Actor RPF -- lower priority b/c looks like there's no categories to pin
- Category:Smallville Characters -- seems like a mess in terms of which characters get separate pages for their smallville incarnations, and also how the various character pages are categorized, but tbh I don't know enough about Smallville that I feel confident trying to sort it out.
- Category:Lord of the Rings
- Probably raise a discussion but not sure where: Category:People vs. Category:Industry? What is "Industry" even for?. Also, moving Category:Science Fiction Authors under Category:Professional Authors, should authors with their own categories (e.g. Category:C.J. Cherryh or Category:Neil Gaiman) be listed by category or by page under these parent cats?
Categories that need descriptions/help info
- Category:Judaism & Fandom -- probably the other religion categors too. Could probably just take the description from the parent Spiritualit & Fandom category???
- Category:Japanese-Speaking Fandom --probably other language catgs too
- Category:Chinese Fandom Glossary has a description but it could probably be improved
- more???

Fandom Masterlist
In which I attempt to catalogue my fandom activity/knowledge (this list might get out of date pretty quickly, haha). Ordered in a way that made sense in my head that I cannot explain. Formatted as: Name -- date -- notes
- Avatar: The Last Airbender -- 2019 -- my gateway to fandom, particularly fanfic. (For real, I didn't realize fanfic could be for things other than romance until I read The Dragon-King's Temple, and then I was hooked.) I don't touch Legend of Korra stuff much but I might be able to help out there too.
- Unsounded -- 2019 -- miniscule fandom but probably the one I'm most involved in. TBH most of the fic isn't on ao3 so let me know if you want help finding more of it.
- FMA -- 2020 -- the pandemic happened and I got back into anime and now I still spend way to much time thinking about FMA
- BNHA -- 2020 -- I've never actually seen a single episode of the anime and I only made it halfway through the first manga chapter, but I kinda love how big and expansive the fanfic community for this one is
- Enchanted Forest Chronicles -- 199x -- very small fandom here but I've read most of it. One of the guiding lights of my childhood (although I didn't read fic until 2019)
- Harry Potter -- ??? -- Had a lot of love for these books as a kid and I read fic sometimes, probably not the expert around here compared to most of you.
- Sherlock Holmes ('and Related Fandoms' as ao3 would say) -- ??? -- Ditto
- Naruto -- haven't touched canon at all, i just read time-travel fics lol [EDIT: as of December 2023 I am a Mixelation-stan]
- Star Wars -- I actually have seen most of the movies for this one but again I'm just here for the time-travel fic [EDIT: as of Summer 2024, acuteneurosis, chancecraz, and phoenixyfriend my beloved!! many great authors in this fandom but I owe you three my eternal gratitude]
- Hollow Knight -- 2021 -- very much a fandom-in-law but I've read some fics and have helped organize some small fanwork exchanges.
- The Murderbot Diaries -- 2021 -- a pretty recent but very intense new fandom love for me. I don't contribute much but I lurk in a lot of the fandom spaces for this, and I read a decent amount of fic
- Natsume's Book of Friends --2021 -- my other new love. Not as active in talking to other fans but I've read almost a fifth of all Nastuyu fics posted to AO3 so if you want to know about this fandom (at least the fic-writing side of it) I'm the person to talk to :P
- PMMM -- 2020 -- not as big on fic-reading (I'm very picky and nothing measures up to ANAI) but GOSH I love this series and all the fandom discussion and analysis thereof
- Parahumans -- 2013?? --I read Worm just as it was wrapping up, and then I kinda ignored the fandom for the last decade but maybe I should get back into it and document some of the big trends and events for fanlore? Idk some pretty interesting stuff happened, I think.
- Bleach -- 2022 -- I'm not a Bleach fan, I'm a polynya fan
- Teen Wolf -- 2020 -- I'm not a TW fan, I'm a metisket fan, but I keep trying other fics to see if anyone else has captured that chaotic energy and sense of humor [Edit: KouriArashi is another fave author in this fandom now; there's definitely a number of other greats I'm not remembering right now]
- Yuri!!! On Ice -- ditto [re:metisket], and also I kinda know who to talk to for recs
- Mob Psycho 100 -- Love the show, don't read fic much, but I've got rec lists
- Howl's Moving Castle -- 2020 -- another childhood favorite, I got involved in the 2020 fandom resurgence (much smaller scale than ATLA's but it was a thing!)
- The Goblin Emperor -- 2017???-- LOVE this book, got a fic rec-list that I haven't actually gotten around to reading through yet but happy to pass on
- Temeraire -- 2010ish-- LOVE the book, have read a decent amount of fic
- Invisible Cities -- 2010ish -- is this even a fandom?! In any case I've got fic recs. yes, really!
- tbh probably more tiny random ones...
- NEW!!! Final Fantasy VII --2022-- I adore The Fifth Act, please send me all your time travel recs
- NEWER!!!! Gravity Falls -- 2023 -- "I'm hoping all this aligns exactly with my fan-fic, Stan. If not, I will be very disappointed."
- MDZS/The Untamed/Etc -- 2023 -- okay i've probably read enough fic at this point to be worth listing it here (ask me about my faves!) but I don't know canon or interact directly with the fandom much. I just take fic recs lol
- Batfam -- 2024 -- People who actually read DC Comics keep telling me I'm doing this fandom wrong and the things I like are bad, but OH WELL. I am having a GREAT time reading fic. fanon!Jason Todd is hilarious, i need 500 fics about Tim's fake uncle, and for people to stop telling me things that happen to Dick Grayson and Stephanie Brown in canon b/c i usually regret it.
