making up fannish stuff, for posterity and beyond!

All you all should be coming over to help edit fanlore.org. It's very easy to log in, and then those of us who toil over there would love some toiling help. For example, there's hardly any info on the "West Wing" page; come fill it up, and bring your favorite fics!

Also, for semantics purposes; help me with these questions below? Answer with the term you would most frequently use, or answer with the term you have most frequently heard if you don't prefer one answer over the other.

Are not the majority of vids multimedia projects because they combine music and video clips and sometimes still images and so forth? Do the audio/video aspects count as separate media? Hmm...

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

Yeah -- so a "multimedia vid" would use still imagines and music and clips, even if it were single-fandom. But would a multifandom story, like a xover, be considered multimeda if it were just a story? What about an archive: If it only accepts fic, but from many fandoms, is it a multimedia archive or a multifandom archive?

"Multimedia" does not mean "multifandom" in any context I have ever been aware of.

How could it? If all vids are multimedia projects, then to call a multifandom vid multimedia would not differentiate it from monofannish efforts.
