I started writing for Fanlore

[erimia]

I never planned to, but it seems that my interest in this website reached the critical point. I'm surprised how much I like writing for an internet encyclopedia - it seems that it has just the right mix of collective and individual contribution, of anonomity and visibility that I found suitable for myself. For now I'm writing and editing articles for Blake's 7 (being an older media fandom, it's one of the most extensively recorded at Fanlore), but I'm also thinking about writing about the Phantom of the Opera, which isn't that well-recorded there. The problem, of course, is that while I'm enthusiastic to explore Blake's 7 fandom at any point of its history, I don't want to even come close to large portions of the old POTO fandom archieves, which limits me to the 2010s and maybe the descriptions of the "time before that" that I heard from modern fans.

My Fanlore profile is here. I have a lot of plans, but not sure if I'll be able to carry them out.

I'm afraid that a lot of the article fails are mine - it is always difficult for me to get them right. :D

Popularity such that the Raoul/Christine page linked to doesn't even exist :-D
(And come to that, neither does the Raoul de Chagny page, or at least 'This page has no text'.)

To be fair, the only character or pairing page for POTO on Fanlore is Erik/Christine. I suppose there are just not enough POTO aficionados there.

Yes, link rot is quite a problem on this website. That's why they recommend archiving linked webpages with the help of archiving websites like the Wayback Machine and provide links to archived versions as a backup to ordinary links.
