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!

Just randomly going through crossover communities looking for some to post to/join and had to comment because its a great idea. Most of the crossover communities are terribly spread out. A general archiving site (in case you haven't stumbled across it): Twisting the Hellmouth (just google it) which has thousands of Buffy crossovers (might be a good place to advertise).

My journal will have any updates I do (which is probably a shameless plug but, just fyi), and I know mhalachaiswords updates several times a week, mostly Buffy/Anita Blake/ and HP crossovers...

Hee. I was about to say, you've posted at TtH yourself and have somehow never managed to stumble across my name? I think I'm up to something like fifth place on the story count author list now, and in the thirties by wordcount. =P

Just saw your fic-a-thon story go up over there... I'll have to read it at lunch when I have more time. And I'm quite fond of your "A Hacking Good Time", it really made me smile when I first found it. Mind if I friend your LJ? I mean, as me, not just cross_watcher?

I know! Once I actually looked at the user name I was like, "I know you, fellow TtH writer!". Who is *much* more prolific than me by the way. :) And please, feel free to friend the LJ, the more the merrier. I have a pathetic friends list right now.
