Consider this a warning...

[jadesfire]

I've stayed well out of all the Organization for Transformative Works discussion/controversy/arguments/noun of your choice mostly because I wasn't really bothered. Like many of the people on my flist, I play happily in my own little corner of the fandom sandbox, and don't really worry too much about what others are doing. Selfish? Yes, but it keeps me well away from most of the drama that rocks fandom from time to time and, therefore, keeps me happy.

Then they opened Fanlore.

The rest of you should take this as an awful warning. The damn thing is totally addictive. Totally. The Torchwood pages are only half there, the Doctor Who ones are largely a work in progress and there are no pages at all for Criminal Minds. I have this horrible feeling that if I'm not careful, I'm going to lose what little remains of my life to this thing.

There are pages for fandoms, fanworks, fan communities and fans. Some of the biographies are serious, some are entertaining. I've been very restrained so far about putting pages in for fans, but there are many of my flist who I think should be up there. (*rubs hands together* Mwahahahaha*coughcough*) Some sections are well underway (yes, SGA, I'm looking at you), some are barely populated. So if you have five minutes and don't mind risking the last of your sanity, I recommend it!

I know! It's like an addiction though! Because you click to one page, and there are links but some of the links don't go anywhere or the pages aren't finished so you go to look at others to see how it's done and then it's and hour later and you're still there!

*breathes*

(especially fan pages, like for my internet friends)
*grin* That's exactly what I thought! It's very SGA/DS-heavy at the moment, but I was looking for all my House and Torchwood friends and couldn't find them. That should definitely be rectified...
