REQUEST: Looking for help in starting up a crossover newsletter

[jedibuttercup]

Greetings crossover fans,

I'm in the early stages of starting up a newsletter, called crossover_news, strictly for reporting crossover fiction (such as is posted at crossoverfic) and other crossover fan activities on Livejournal. I'd like to ask for your help in identifying crossover communities and individual writers to start off the reading list before I attempt to actually put it into action, and in fact for any advice anyone cares to give; I've never run a community like this before.

If the demand proves high enough once I get it going, I may need additional editors so it can be run it more than once a week, so keep that in mind. Thanks for your help!

Well, besides this community, another obvious one is crossovers100. And of course there's also multiverse2004 (ignore the year) which is an annual crossover ficathon.

Then there's crossing_lostrp which is a role-playing community where the scenario is that it's "Lost", but with various crossover characters there as well as the "Lost" characters.

There are various other fic communities and writers which aren't necessarily crossover-oriented, but where crossovers may turn up every now and then -- I'm not sure whether you're interested in those or not.

I hadn't heard about multiverse2004, thanks!

Depends on how high a percentage of crossovers tends to show up, and whether or not they get cross-posted anywhere I'd be more likely to pick them up. I'd be interested in knowing about them regardless, but they may be on an occasional link-check list rather than a reader's journal if the crossover stuff is pretty sparse.

Thanks again for your help!

There's me, but I generally cross-post my crossovers to crossoverfic.

There's b7friday and b7fic but crossovers aren't that common, though they do turn up every now and then.

Oh, and I nearly forgot! There was recently a Doctor Who "choose your own companion" ficathon, which was a crossover ficathon where the Doctor takes a character from another universe as a companion. I didn't participate myself, since I'm already doing Doctor Who for crossovers100. (looks through flist trying to find link for that ficathon...) Ah, here it is: http://rheanna27.livejournal.com/55555.html
It was probably a one-off, but it's still worth noting.
