Kerfuffle windfalls

[vulgarweed]

One thing that for me has come out of my fortunately-very-limited participation in recent spitsfests over the merits and irritations of Certain Archives has been this revelation:

In Tolkien fandom, those of us who read and write both het and slash and things in-between can have a hard time of it on the archive front. Mind you, I'm fine with putting my slash stuff up at Library of Moria and my het stuff at Open Scrolls, but then there are things like this, which are kind of both and neither (Thank you, Tolkien Fan Fiction! And I'm interested in writing and reading many more stories that blur the boundaries, or just refuse to honor that silly distinction in the first place.

So I really enjoy this community: hp_bitextual, and I'm wondering if there's interest in a sort of Arda Bitextual. (All time periods/cultures/characters inclusive).

What say you? Mind you, I'd still have to ask the hp_bitextual folks if they mind other fandoms nipping their M.O.

Well, the nice thing about an LJ community as opposed to an archive is that they're not very labor-intensive to set up, and it doesn't really matter how high-traffic they are.
