Newbie guide community

[vilakins]

I recently discovered the newbieguide community, a very useful guide to different fandoms on LJ. I posted a Blake's 7 entry yesterday. Let me know if I've missed anything.

BTW I note that Farscape still needs to be done and Babylon 5 isn't even mentioned. I'm sure several people I know can join and post something. You just post links to LJ communities and update it when necessary. The sign-up post and list of fandoms is here.

Astro might also be interested in the Numb3rs post. :-)

Thanks for letting us know about this. What a cool community!

It is, isn't it!

All three of my main fandoms are up, this is good. I'd love to see executrix do Firefly, even though I'm not into the show... though what newbie's would make of her beautifully dry skewedness I can't think...

Inspector Rex is not there :( but I have a feeling 'newbies' is not really a valid term here...

Neugeborene! Hundchen? ;-)

And anyway I linked to executrix's B7 intro. :-D

Eep. It's almost time for bed. I shall probably dream of pirates, having just seen PotC2.

See if you can dream a POTC/Pugwash crossover ('twould be more like a shipwreck-over, but what the hell)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Pugwash! That's the one with the rude names, right? Seaman Staines?

Which reminds me of a joke best spoken: how do you get rid of stains? Drop a bomb on it!

Right programme, but the writer has successfully sued for comments like that.

[goes to look] Huh, they don't even mention said seaman! So it's all an urban legend. Oh, well. Mind you, Master Mate and Pirate Willy are bad enough. :-P

Hurrah! Ace job!

sallymn: I appreciate the tribute. I think inalasahl did Firefly though, and in any case the task demands someone who does not share my storied inability to do three links without screwing up at least one.

Thank you! Yes, 'Firefly' has been done.

Cool! Looks like a very useful comm. I've bookmarked it for the next time I want to check out a new fandom and don't know where to start. Which does happen from time to time. :)

Yes, I thought it was useful for that, and for people in fandoms I don't know that well who are new to LJ; I can point them at this in most cases.
