For conventions reports, anime club concerns, and legal matters. >> Discussion of fan artwork, and fan literature. For the organization >> of fan translations projects, and discussion of fansub projects >> (availability, technology, etc). Advice on the creation and maintenance >> of Internet and WWW fan resources, and pointers to the same. For the >> discussion of important fan issues, such as starting a fan club, >> organizing conventions, editing newsletters and fanzines, etc. This >> group should not be used for the trading of fansubs nor for the posting >> of binary files. > > Somehow, that "etc." at the end of the list has been read to allow for > what many people call the "Stupid Fight Thread" - discussions of which > character from one anime could beat up which other character from > another anime. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Can I post my anime-related fanfic here? > > We'd rather that you didn't, actually. Fanfics tend to be hundreds, > if not thousands, of lines long, and a discussion group like > r.a.a.fandom isn't the right place for messages that are that big. > Remember, not everyone pays for their Usenet access by the month, and > long posts take more time to download than short posts do. > > Besides, while the charter says that discussion of fan literature is > on-topic, actual fan literature is not on-topic for the group. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: All right, where *can* I post my anime-related fanfic? > > That depends on whether you think the story is finished. > > If your fanfic is still a work in progress, then you want to find some > pre-readers for it. Try posting a short message to r.a.a.fandom > saying that you're looking for pre-readers, and then e-mail a copy of > your fanfic to the people who reply. Alternately, you could subscribe > to the FanFiction Mailing List, or one of the mailing lists that formed > after the first shutdown of the FFML - links to these mailing lists are > available at <http://www.geocities.com/zednik.geo/Refuge.htm>. > > If you consider your fanfic to be finished, then you should post it to > <news:rec.arts.anime.creative> (after reading that group's FAQ, found at > <http://www.gweep.ca/~robomod/rec.arts.anime.creative/>). This is a > moderated newsgroup, so your fanfic won't show up immediately! That > group's moderation team is pretty good about getting fanfics posted to > r.a.a.creative within a week of them being submitted - if it takes > longer than that, then there's probably some sort of problem with the > way your fanfic was posted and they're trying to get in touch with you. > > Of course, you can also put a copy of your fanfic on your website, > whether the fanfic is finished or not. Please post a short message to > r.a.a.fandom saying where to find your fanfic if you do this. For > example: >> I've put a copy of my alternate-universe Oh My Goddess / Tenchi Muyo >> crossover fanfic "Ah! Mihoshi-sama" on my website. You can read it >> at <http://www.ottawa-anime.org/fanfics/mihoshi.html>. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Can I talk here about fanfics posted to other newsgroups? > > Certainly. "Discussion of fan artwork, and fan literature" is > specifically mentioned as being on-topic for this group. > > The rec.arts.anime.creative newsgroup sets the "Followup-To" header in > posts made there so that discussion of the fanfics is automatically > sent to rec.arts.anime.fandom. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: What about fan art? Where can I post that? > > Like fanfiction, that depends on whether you think the artwork is > finished. > > If it is a finished work, then you can post it to > <news:rec.arts.anime.creative>, exactly the same as a finished work of > fanfiction. > > If it isn't a finished work, then you can post it to > <news:alt.binaries.pictures.anime>, then post a short message to > rec.arts.anime.fandom saying that you've done so. > > And you can always put your fanart on your web site. Again, please > post a short message saying you've done this. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Where can I find someone else's fanfics? > > They could be in any number of places. > > The first place to look is in the rec.arts.anime.creative archives, > found at <ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works/>. Every > fanfic posted to <news:rec.arts.anime.creative> can be found there. > > There is a list of fanfic sites in the DMOZ Open Directory Project, at > <http://www.dmoz.org/Arts/Animation/Anime/Fandom/Fan_Works/Fan_Fiction/>. > > The Anime Web Turnpike also lists fanfic sites at > <http://www.anipike.com/index.php?cat=60>. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: I'm looking for a ride to an anime convention - can I ask here? > > Certainly. While asking for a ride to a convention isn't specifically > mentioned in the charter, it is a fan activity and is thus on-topic. > > Just be warned that you're going to be asking everyone in the world > for a ride, so be careful about how much personal information you give > when you ask. The safest way to ask for a ride is to say which > convention you want to attend and which city you're leaving from, and > ask people to e-mail their ride offers to you. You can then learn > something about the person offering the ride, and if you decide to > accept it, then you can set up a mutually-agreeable place and time to > be picked up. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Are there any anime clubs in my city? > > That's a short question, but the answer is far too long to give in a > FAQ. The Anime Web Turnpike lists anime clubs at > <http://www.anipike.com/index.php?cat=25>. > > Readers in the United Kingdom will likely find it easier to use > BritAnime's list of anime clubs, found at > <http://www.ryouko.demon.co.uk/ukclubs.htm>. > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Can I sell my old anime fan stuff here? > > No. You're looking for <news:rec.arts.anime.marketplace>, which is a > much older newsgroup than r.a.a.fandom. > > -- > Rob Kelk <http://robkelk.ottawa-anime.org/> robkelk -at- jksrv -dot- com > "I'm *not* a kid!
