Tossing Fandom Idea Around

How does an online fandom fanzine sound? Don't ask me how I came up with the idea, because it's a long story and I'm not particularly keen on telling it, but it hit me last night that I don't think such a thing exists and why, it could actually happen.

I was thinking something like an online magazine, not like TLC or HPANA or Mugglenet, which bring news, mainly. Those are like The Daily Prophet of the HP Fandom. Not like fandom_wank or fandom_quibbler either, as those are more of Quibbler material. More like the fandom version of Witch Weekley, I'd say. (The name I've come up with is actually Muggle Monthly, because I am so original. *rolls eyes*)

We could put in featured stuff every month, focusing on those that aren't so mainstream. Like, every month (or "issue") there could be a featured Ship, het and slash, including its history, the best fics written about it, the shippers, communities for those shippers, and so on. There could be a feature on new fansites, interviews with fic writers and fanartists, maybe, fic reviews (like the movie reviews section, only with fics), icons sites, features on resources for writing and webdesign and graphic designs maybe, a focus on any fan activity going on, like RPGs and whatnot. There could be essays given by contributors on certain aspects on the fandom, like say, fandom shipping or fandom theories, and maybe character sketches for minor characters in the books. And like in magazines, there could be various quizzes for fans to take. Maybe a Help column for fandom questions. Maybe even a more extensive look into JKR's world, like a monthly column featuring the kinds of magic she talks of, or the creatures that appear in HP.

Basically, it's a place for fans to, I don't know, get more connected to the fandom, I guess, by being exposed to different sides of it. How well do you think the idea will be received, though?

Of course, this is all just in my head for now. I'm not entirely sure where I'm headed with this idea. I mean, this would need a whole lot of monthly columnists, editors, contributors, webspace, and monthly updating. *mulling* I'd want to do this, but hmm. Seems like plenty of work. *stupid summers always give me ideas that require plenty of work*

Yeah, so. Just tossing the idea around. What do you guys think?

Guh.

I don't want to jinx anything. I think I'm jinxing it. I hate jinxing things. I'm one big jinx. The last time I wanted something I didn't tell anyone about it, because I didn't want it to be jinxed, and I got it. I'm not sure whether I told anyone about this, though, whether writing about it in LJ counts, but it's only to ask for good luck. I asked for good luck last time but was purposely vague and I still got it. Does this mean the same thing? Wish me luck. I think I need luck. Waiting is killing me. Paranoia is settling in. *sweats profusely*

On top of that, plenty of other things.

And yes, must force self to write. Write, slumber, write! *cracks whip on self*

If I'm this pathetic and un-evil I'll never earn a whip when I get to Hell! *wails* (Yes, that happens to be my long term goal...)

*checks again*
