Help Wanted!
If you'd be willing to help volunteer to take care of an unattended fandom or help with community maintenance, please comment here!
You do NOT need to volunteer in order to pimp or start discussion threads or ask us to add a new fandom. Feel free to just dive in and start.
Volunteering for a fandom is low-key and involves:
If you drift away, it's no big deal -- if someone volunteers and you haven't posted in a while, we'll toss them the stick instead, but you're always welcome to come back to it later or to take on a different fandom.
Fandoms currently needing volunteers:
big love, dexter, extras, jeremiah, six feet under, sopranos, the tudors, weeds.
The current list of volunteers is here.
We're also looking for a couple of community maintainers right now too. Community maintenance is not fandom-specific and involves:
Let us know if you'd be willing to help out!

Volunteering for a fandom is low-key and involves:
- Telling us the fandom exists if we don't have it
If we don't already have a fandom in our interests/tags list (eg, if the show is new, maybe even not on the air yet, or we have just forgotten to put it on), let us know about it! We will happily add it to the list. (We are deliberately leaving off shows with substantial fandoms that don't really need our help, like OZ and QAF.)
- Pimping
As much as you want to do. Feel free to recruit others to pimp for you, make picspams or fandom primers, post recs or roundups of activity in your fandom from other communities.
- Starting discussion threads
If your show is currently on the air, please start a discussion thread post for each new episode, maybe just before it comes on the air. (If you are late doing this and someone already has jumped in and created a discussion thread, no need to start a new one, of course. *g*)
- Tagging Reminders
If you notice someone posting in your fandom without using tags, please drop them a friendly comment to remind them to tag as they post.
- Spoiler Watch
If you spot someone posting spoilers outside a cut-tag, please drop them a friendly comment asking them to repost with a cut-tag, and if you spot one of the comm maintainers, please give us a heads-up to delete the post.

We're also looking for a couple of community maintainers right now too. Community maintenance is not fandom-specific and involves:
- Deleting spoilery posts
- Tagging posts if the poster forgot to put on the tags.
- Adding new tags/interests for a new show.
- Keeping an eye out for anything wacky like spam or trolling and letting bethbethbeth and myself know about it.
Let us know if you'd be willing to help out!
