Process of a Fanlore Entry

[elf]

I decided I wanted to add a page for Filthy Pierre's Microfilk. What is, you might ask, FPMicrofilk? It's a zine. Of sorts. A collection of filksongs, distributed in the East Coast area (and more, but mostly easty-coasty regions; I've never seen one). It's 63 pages long, on legal-sized paper, in teeny-tiny type, crammed as many words as can possibly fit on the page (extra verses added sideways, handwritten notes in spots), sometimes a dozen songs on a page, with a 13-page index (legal-sized) by tune, title, subject, and author. Also tiny. And complicated.

Makes sense? No? 6mb scanned version available at http://www.floatingfilk.com/mp3/microfilk.pdf. Go boggle. And then come back for the 2000-word Fanlore entry walkthrough.

( What I know/Background Info )

Five things. If that's enough for a fanfic, it's enough for a Fanlore stub, especially since I can give a link to the digital copy & a partial index. (Even less than that is enough for a Fanlore stub; if I could just say, "there's this thing; here's a link," Fanlore wants that.) People who've actually seen & filked from the original could then come in and add more details; people who've never heard of it would then know it exists. Existed. Whatever.
