Thanks for the requests! I will likely tackle the Jossverse in late summer or fall when I am ready to handle the potential deluge, given how huge his fandoms are.
I am considering VM for this summer, even though I don't know the fandom. Can you suggest any alert/notice or fic comms I could advertise on in the VM fandom to get the word out to VM authors about the comm once I do add them?
I would like to request House to be added as it's a large fandom and I know you'd get a lot of interested from the fic communities if you added it such as: house_wilson sick_house sick_wilson house_md - Not a fic comm, but a lot of not H/W shippers are members and I don't know the names of their communities.

Olivia,
Thanks for your requests!
You've got a good shot at Psych since I write that fandom myself. :-)
Thunderbirds might benefit from the fact that there has been the movie since then. I bet more people would request it because of it.
If you can get a couple more people interested I'll bump them up on the list to be added. I didn't anticipate any interest in Psych, but since I know so many people who watch it I'm sure I can drum up some First Readers for it.
Tbirds, I'd need a fair amount of help finding authors and first readers since it's not my cup of tea, but if enough people ask for a fandom I'll add it despite my lack of experience in it.
If there is a fandom on the comm you watch that you'd be willing to First Read for then you'd at least be a full time member and have full access to the comm's techniques etc. We do close the comm during the rounds and only open it briefly during sign ups so you'd get more benefit if you were signed up at least as a reader.
FWIW, I've not heard the rumors so don't spoil me, okay?

I believe I recently added a First Reader and Beta Reader FAQ or two. First Reader implies reading before anyone else, before the fic is done usually - when it's in its raw form. We use them here essentially as cheerleaders. They don't do any critique and aren't required to do any checking of any kind. They read the stories, offer encouragement and share what they liked about the story and what they are looking forward to in the upcoming parts. Authors can use alpha readers to check their work in progress fic if they'd like, but that's outside of the scope of this comm. Our goal is to encourage authors to keep writing and positive reinforcement is key. Some authors do establish relationships with our First Readers that turn into alpha/beta and that's fine, but we don't require that level of commitment from our the readers who sign up
( ... )
It's not a hugely active fandom these days, but I know plenty of people (including myself) who have Charmed WIP. Here's a list of a few comms where you could advertise as well.

There was a newsletter comm, but I think it's been purged.
