In music... letterzines, club meetings, cosplay (KISS makeup, that single-white-glove), poetry, posters, fictional album covers, dolls in dioramas, meta-essays, collages, gingerbread men cookies in band costumes... plenty of creative works.
The good news: No, they don't, for the most part, consider themselves "our kind" of fans, and vice-versa, and except for the spots where Bandom or American Idol fandom makes them converge, there's not much crossing of the streams. Yay.
Civil War reenactments are probably not Fanlore-ish. Except that there's plentiful crossover between them & Renfaire & SCA, which crosses over to a lot of convention-based cosplay; the "historical reenactor" thing gets blurry.
I'm mostly musing. I'm not so much interested in "should Fanlore have a Civil War reenactor page?" (which, um, maybe, if someone cares about it & knows some details), but "how *much* gaming stuff should I throw at Fanlore, and if I find anyone to cover LARPing, should that extend to SCA & Renfaire?"
I'm looking past the boundaries of what I know is wanted, trying to figure out what the borderline, "meh, we could have a bit of that, I suppose" areas are, as opposed to, "why don't we have info about this? We should totally have a page on that!"
I've got some vague thoughts that it'd be easier to get content for the gaps if the boundaries were stretched farther. But they really are vague, unfinished thoughts.
