Terminology question

[ruuger]

I've been creating pages for fannish communities that I'm familiar with, and I've now hit a snag. What are communities like summer_of_spike or seasonal_spuffy - where you claim a day and post fanworks of your choice on it - actually called (and which template should I use for them)? I've always called them love fests or seasonal communities, but is there some other name for them?

Also, are communities like this common outside Buffyverse?

(and hey, if anyone feels like joining me to fill in the gaps in Buffyverse, Babylon 5, and The X-Files... ;))

Here is my best guess (and I am horrible at picking at which template to use, just a heads up):

http://fanlore.org/wiki/Template:JournalComm
"This template is for journal communities: online communities on services like LiveJournal, Journalfen, InsaneJournal, Dreamwidth, etc. This template automatically adds the article to the category Journaling Communites. Please manually add a fan activity subcategory (such as Fiction Writing or Discussion) if relevant.

For Challenges that have an associated community, use the Challenge template if your article is not primarily about the community."

Thanks, that does look like a better option than the challenge template that I was looking at.
