Troy fandom site

[aleathiel]

Y'know we need an archive site for the Troy fandom. One with a section for RPS and a section for FPS. I'd do it if I had the faintest idea how, but as I don't I'll have to beg someone else to.

It's just there's a lot of great stuff out there already, and I know it'll be a hassle to get it all gathered up and to get permission to archive from the authors (maybe we could just have links?) but I keep finding people looking for things, and I rec, and in the comments to the fic I rec I find someone else looking. And I don't mind leaving the links at all. But surely it would be easier if there were somewhere specific to go, to look under author or pairing or whatever?

Also, with all the new people joining the fandom I feel we should show them what we've got already. So that they can get the feel of the fandom. And its quality.

I've only posted this here because it's more a thought than a request for someone to take it on. But I'd like to know what you think. And then maybe I'll post elsewhere and look for a volunteer.

ETA: sorry. That's a pretty inarticulate post. I hope it made sense.

I think that is a good idea. The Troy/Illiad fandom is growing fast so a central gathering place for fic would be a good thing. It'd be a shame if fics were lost because there was nowhere for them to be archived.

Exactly. And there's already some old stuff that people are unable to keep track of. There ought to be a central place: after all Harry Potter, LOTR and even POTC have many archive sites.
