This Week on FanLib: May 5

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Not a holiday I ever celebrated back in New Jersey, but here in California it’s a real party day! It’s all about freedom and cultural recognition; just like everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, in Southern California, everyone is Mexican on Cinco de Mayo! So have some Mexican food for dinner and break a pinata if you get the can.

We’re also celebrating the start of the summer movie season. Our carousel is themed with fics from some of the blockbusters that will be gracing the big screen in the next few months. And keep watching No Hiatus for our look at the summer movies.

Have a little spare time? There’s still one more week left to enter our Speed Racer contest. Grand Prize is a trip for two to LA! We’d also like to know what you think of the excerpt from the LJ Smith Night World book, Secret Vampire.

And if that’s not enough to keep you busy, we’re still looking for writers to take on our Fandom 411s. Leave your interests in the comments below, and if we haven’t covered it already, we’ll look you up.

I can’t view older entries tagged with “Fandom 411″ in either of my browsers because it says that “the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

I’m wondering if there’s a Fandom 411 for Yu-Gi-Oh!, Sailor Moon, or Final Fantasy VIII. If not, I’d like to volunteer for one of those that might be free.

One of the site admins for Writers Ranch, the biggest and most active site for the fandom “The Young Riders”.

The show was completed in 1992 but the fandom is still around. We have twice weekly fic updates… a message board with regular posters and yearly fan gatherings…

would love to tell you more… let me know if you’d like to hear about it.

I wonder where the 411 is for Yami no Matsuei or better known as Descendants of Darkness. If not, I would love to start the ball rolling on that project.

There are many fans out there, including me, who have been waiting for the creator / manga-ka to finish her work. She left us hanging, and thus many fans use their creative talents to append what remains to be missing — all while the fans wait for the creator to continue on with her story.
