Anne's New Project
Sorry I've been distracted and at times slow to respond to new posts. I somehow started a new project weekend before last. I'm working up a directory for a couple of internet social groups I belong to: the Usenet newsgroup alt.books.m-lackey - the original one ostensibly dedicated to Mercedes Lackey - and the Facebook group alt.books.m-lackey Refugees - Fans of Mercedes Lackey. It started as a simple attempt to connect the two groups to each other and to the FAQ they share with links to all three, because a search may find one or two, but rarely finds all three. So connect the groups with links in common, so folks who find one can find all three, even if they copy the link list and forget to note the address they got it from. {bite lips}
Some how this has turned into a tiny but serviceable directory, with not just the names and addresses, but a list of popular interests of the two groups (yes, Live-Journal style interests; I got that idea from them,), a short description of what's on the FAQ, the beginnings of a list of websites of individual members with their own brief descriptions, and minimal listings of some Mercedes Lackey Official Sites. It doesn't feel complete. This directory needs it's own web home... and I wouldn't mind seeing another sister group or few, especially if they're also more-or-less dedicated to Mercedes Lackey and her fans. {thoughtful look}
I could tell the solutions I've found and am considering, but... my ideas are barely half-formed, and very tenuous. Plus, it's getting late. So I'll share this as-is so far. I'd love to know what you, my friends, think of this. {hopeful Smile}
