FAQ

I don't think I have any fandoms to participate with. The one time I was the first to write something at AO3 it was well between rounds of this challenge :P I still always subscribe to the comm as I think it is a great idea that gives people the encouragement to dare to post for a new fandom at AO3, and it's always fun to see what people come up with.

It's such a great idea...but I can't think of any fandoms outside....books and song lyrics. Bah.

[meridian_rose]

Books count. Specific fairy tales and folk legends count. Songs count. Anything can have a fandom. AO3 has many categories beyond TV and Film. I rec'd a fic during Snowflake that was based on the video to the Annie Lennox song "Broken Glass" :)
There are fics and fanart for adverts and Tarot cards and songs some of which get nominated at Yuletide each year (Jolene by Dolly Parton; Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard; Kiss From a Rose are just some I've seen mentioned).
So if you have a book or song/song vid that isn't currently represented at AO3, go for it :)

I'm using a book series for mine, those are totally allowed!
