I've been hit by a wave of nostalgia recently, and have been tossing up stubs on Fanlore for a lot of my old haunts--especially for the X-Men comics fandom (I couldn't believe that no one had already tackled CFAN!)
On my search for screencaps, I rediscovered CFAN's fandom glossary. I was thinking about moving over the information there to Fanlore, but wondered how useful people would actually find it. A lot of the terms are obsolete (so far as I know). I don't see "egoboo," "sillyfic," "feedback fic" or "archive fic" used these days.
Beyond that, I don't feel completely right copying CFAN's content (even rephrased and cited).
Opinions?
