Mentioned in another thread, but I think it would be a cool idea to have a whole section here and on the main LMW dedicated to finding lost fan media-fan made fiction, art, music, crafts, websites, flash games, etc.
I was thinking it could be organized by: OG media/medium (and/or genre)/miscellaneous notes (like suspected time, date, authorship, contents), or something like that. Example: Hamtaro movie 2/digital art/found on a fan website in 2003, contains 2 characters from the movie (the princess and the ganguro girl hamster) standing next to each other, with the ganguro girl leaning a leg out and showing off her flip phone, and the princess winking, both dressed in their movie outfits
We could organize by folders or files or tabs. Anyone else interested?
Would stuff from Deviantart, Twitter, and other sites count?
Absolutely. That's why I mentioned that it would be quite a massive undertaking! And of course, there would have to be some specifics laid out for some type of conformity. For example, do "group made projects" count? Does it just have to be one person? Would an AMV count? Would a blog post count? What about games? etc.
Kickstarter/IndieGoGo stuff is kind of a weird gray area for me in terms of being "fan made," so for now, might leave those out. Or give them a whole separate section entirely. Who knows.
