Welcome to Small Fandoms Flashfiction!

[spikedluv]

smallfandomflsh is the sister comm to Small Fandoms Fest. We will offer up a writing challenge every two weeks in the hopes of generating more fanfic in our favorite small fandoms. Got a small fandom or two you'd like to support? Then please join us in our quest to give small fandoms the love they deserve. *g*

All small fandoms are welcome, as are all ratings, pairings (gen, het, slash, femslash and threesomes), and genres (AU, Angst, Fluff, Humor, H/C, PWP, etc).

For more information, please read the rules and then join up!

First challenge will be issued tomorrow, and every other Wednesday thereafter.

Thank you!

I have a question^_^ I write mostly in book fandoms like the Coldfire Trilogy and Lions of Al-Rassan, and small manga/anime fandoms like Clamp series Clover and X/Tokyo Babylon or Petshop of Horrors.

Do you accept small fandoms that aren't tv/movies?

[spikedluv]

Absolutely! I just only know the tv/movie/some book ones. *g*

May I suggest "Murdoch Mysteries" for the fandoms list?

[spikedluv]

Thanks for the suggestion! *g*

I'm quite interested in this one, and I know I have at least one qualified fandom, but out of interest, how do you define "small fandom"? Just so I can get an idea of how many of my fandoms I can play with here.

[spikedluv]

Yay, I'm glad you're interested!

That's a toughie; I have the same problem over at smallfandomfest. *g*

It's easier to say what ISN'T a small fandom. The biggies are easy, of course, SPN, BtVS, The Sentinel, due South. Then there are the medium sized fandoms, like NCIS and CSI, or the once-popular, now not very active fandoms like Mag7, which I wouldn't include.

I threw some examples out there with the interests, and basically I'll leave it up to your discretion unless it's a fandom I personally know isn't small.

How unhelpful was that?!! *g*

Well, at least one of my fandoms is so small you need a magnifying glass to see it. *sighs*

Speaking of said fandom, I was looking at your header and... ...Well, none of the characters in the fandom have canon names. They're usually referred to by nicknames based on their personality or by the actor names. What would I do for the pairing/character field there?

Apparently, I like complicated. One fandom with no names, one with time travel and one just has insane demi-god clowns. And those are just my main ones.

I can tell you that one's in for sure! *g*

Use whatever nicknames you'd normally use. When I say nicknames I mean no cutesy pairing names where the two character names are mushed together, like Spike/Xander = Spander, because those of us unfamiliar with the fandom will have no idea who they are. (Especially us folk trying to tag the post. *g*)

I think the only place for the fandom is a LJ community, and it has been dead for years. It needs revitalizing. Or raising, possibly, seeing as zombies is canon in it.

I'll just stick with using the actor names like I usually do. I doubt there'll be any confusion, since the actors are fairly unknown, Japanese, and probably do not actually kill people and zombies on a daily basis.

Are video game fandoms allowed?

[spikedluv]

Sure. *g*
