So, can we do this Focus thing? And can we make it on GeoCities sites, soon to be lost and gone forever?
We now have a list of over 350 sites!
It includes: archives, recslists, awards, fan clubs, episode guides, newbie intros, general resource pages! Dozens of fandoms! Surely everyone can find something worth fanloring in there?
The list is here (or try hxxp://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtkQF_DFcuILdGswaXRqdkVfekNLdVNXc0o5YzFVSFE&hl=en_GB -change xx to tt; since sometimes it only seems to work when copy & pasted, god, IDEK, okay?)
I've been told it looks intimidating, but it's just a list, I swear. There are some tips for using it on the second sheet (down the bottom, under Tips for using the spreadsheet), but really: add new sites to the bottom; add "Yes" against an entry when you've fanlored it; that's about all there is to it.
For access, just comment with an email address.
Sites which have been fanlored so far are listed here (some are still stubs, obviously). Archives and resource pages are being fanlored under the site name (i.e. Karen's Deepwater or Bend it Like Beckham Archive); single author pages are mostly being added under the author's name, (i.e. Alassenya or Anam).
This is our fannish history, and that's what Fanlore's all about, right?

No, it's not a category. Most of them are going under Websites or Archives (I changed the Joey/Chandler page to an archive profile template, which I am assuming is the one you meant!)
If you have a look at some of the more filled out of the existing pages (http://fanlore.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/GeoCities_Rescue_Project), you can see how they are structured (they all link back to that list because they all have an internal wikilink to [[GeoCities Rescue Project]]. I added one to the J/C page so you can see what I mean).
I think I would probably structure it a bit like this one? With a brief overview/quote from the archivist, list of authors, mention the other stuff on the site - the episode guides, photos and photomanips etc - and a screenshot of the front page. As much as you think is interesting, basically.
But I don't think you should worry too much about structure; just get the information up there and if someone else doesn't like how you organised it, they can change it ;}.
