I’ve got one more letter to go (S) in my pass through the zines *tongue hangs out in an unappealing way*, making sure there’s a fandom category for each one. I have seen some patterns and places for clarification.

Keep in mind, I don’t know the right terms for things, to be gentle. Please. Also, this is a VERY rough draft. It has all sorts of holes in it, places where other info will fit. But it’s a start.

(An aside: I think there should be a group of popular category searches right at the top of the Main Page. It would be a way to entice folks to look further, and it would give an example of how categories work.)

1. Connect/subcategories so that someone looking for any of these also sees other similar categories listed at the top of pages: categories, main fandom pages, other places? How best to group similar interests/searches? How can we make it easier for the casual browser?

Actor RPF, Australian Comedian RPF, Star Wars RPF, Kiefer/Lou, Lotrips, Popslash, Duran Duran, RPF, Real People, Music RPF

The two Battlestar Galacticas

Supernatural Zines, Supernatural Doujinshi, Supernatural

Visual Art, K/S Art, Star Trek Art, any other Art categories, Star Trek, Star Trek Zines

Poetry, Beauty and the Beast Poetry

CSI Miami, CSI New York, CSI Las Vegas

Pairings, Characters, Star Trek Pairings

Star Wars Zines, Star Wars TPM Zines, Star Wars TPM Doujinshi, Star Wars

Comics, Anime, Cartoons, Doujinshi

Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford Zines, Star Wars Zines, Star Wars

Games, Role Playing, RPG, Dungeons and Dragons

Games, Resident Evil, Transformers

2. Then, assuming breaking down categories into more manageable sizes is a good thing, I think these need to be divided into smaller categories:

Star Wars (and how should they be divided up? Gen and Het Zines + Slash Zines? Or broken down again into Gen and Het Anthology, Gen and Het Novel, Slash Anthology, Slash Novel? AND should there be a distinction made between the original series and TPM, calling them Star Wars (Original Movies) or something else that distinguishes them?

Highlander (Gen and Het + Slash?)

Magnificent Seven (Gen and Het + Slash?)

The Professionals (break them down again into Novel + Anthology?)

Sentinel (break them down again into Novel + Anthology?)

Stargate SG-1 (Slash + Gen and Het?)

Supernatural (Gen and Het + Slash?)

Starsky & Hutch (break them down again into Novel + Anthology?)

I wish there was a solution to Multimedia’s size, but I can’t think of one

And finally, what to do about Lord of the Rings + Tolkien?
