From Fanlore, the fan run wiki:

"Songs about aliens, #unicorns, and #Kirk/Spock! This #Thurminology we are focusing on #Filk. Often referred to as "science-fiction folk music", Filk is the creation and performance of music tied to sci-fi/fantasy fandom. Come over to #Fanlore and learn more! bit.ly/2TwETqR

#FandomHistory

4. #Fanlore Is the 4th place where our fanzine #scans come in handy. The last 10 years we've been documenting the existence of every fanzine that we scan on #Fanlore the fan run wiki operated by the #OrganizationForTransformativeWorks or #OTW , the group that also hosts #ArchiveOfOurOwn or #AO3. We upload the cover and the tables of contents along with low resolution copies of sample interior art.

I love #FandomHistory (my corner of #fandom is the part that reads and writes #fanfiction and edits #fanvids). Think #ArchiveOfOurOwn #AO3

Anyhow here is a post of gratitude to all the #volunteers who showed up, stayed & did the work.

I have been a fan of popular culture (Western TV/Movies) for
over 25+ years. I read & write #fanfiction, have made #fanvids (#vidding). As I slowly drift towards the setting sun, I focus most of my energy on #fandomhistory

But starting in 2016, my social media is now mainly #USPol and sadly since 2020 #COVID19 My #fandom content may be intermittent.

I do volunteer work for #Fanlore a fandom history #wiki, so we focus a bit more on preservation and historical documentation than average individuals. Especially when we are linking to posts for citation purposes. We're testing using the way back machine to preserve for those purposes

Finished watching Home Alone 2. One thing I noticed is that both "Old Man Marley" (from the first movie) and "Pigeon Lady" (from the second movie) appear in shots that zoom in on their unlaced, black boots.

The Home Alone franchise makes tons of connections by zooming in on key details (think Harry's gold tooth from 1). Does that mean "Pigeon Lady" and "Old Man Marley" are connected?

"Pigeon Lady" mentions in 2 that she had a fiancé, but was dumped and had a broken heart. "Old Man Marley" in 1 mentions that he had a blow up with his son, so we know he has some tendency to severely damage relationships. Is it possible he broke the heart of "Pigeon Lady"?

I didn't find any immediate online chatter about this theory after some cursory searching. Pictures of the boots included for reference.

I am currently into #farawaywanderers/#wordofhonor, random #gongjun dramas, ???. Always into #podfic and #fanlore

@emptymovement Welcome fellow #fandom #archivists . We collect Western Media (TV/Movies) fanfiction, fanvids and other #fanworks. I also volunteer on #Fanlore - a fan run wiki where we can document the fanworks and fan activities (anything by or about fans vs show canon). We need more documentation of the fanworks

@warkittens Maybe check out https://mastodon.lol/@morgandawn, they might have more links to suggest! (and #fanlore might be worth checking on various instances since inter-instance search is very, very limited in some cases).

#introduction

I've never been one to talk about the #OTW much on social media but I should probably mention it here, I guess. 

I'm a long-time OTW volunteer (that's the nonprofit behind #AO3, #Fanlore and others). I'm always happy to talk about it—the good and the bad, we certainly have a lot that needs improving—and to answer questions about it if you ever have any.

[I don't speak for the OTW, just my own perspective, of course.]

Obligatory #introduction post! I'm auntags

#OTW volunteer, #fanlore gardener and at this stage I'm probably a #FandomOld. Too many #fandoms to mention but I'm a #sff fan who loves books, audiobooks, #fanfic and I'm starting to get into #podfics. I'm auntaggie on #ao3 and #tumblr, but hoping to find some new folks to follow here

I'm also #irish, so there will likely be lots of retoots bout the state of the weather. Agus retoots as #gaeilge. Táim ag iarraidh mo scileanna teanga a cleachtadh 😊
