It mostly looks at the history of Star Wars fan fiction, but I think we can come up with a more comprehensive entry that includes not only fan fiction, but all major fan endeavors such as fan fic, fan art, collecting, RPG stats, continuity/timelines, interviews, etc. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Zor Master) http://rdfhqcommunicationscenter.yuku.com/sreply/20970 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 11:23:18 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Fan History Wiki--Robotech ]]> http://rdfhqcommunicationscenter.yuku.com/reply/20969/t/Fan-History-Wiki-Robotech.html#reply-20969 Are you trying to outline the actual fandom or how Robotech has developed, through the eyes of the fandom?

Because honestly, there was so much BS and speculation given to the fans, at least in the post RT.com era, that it's impossible to decipher what actually happened in terms of development of the product. I would think this site is looking more for something like

tl; dr.

Robotech fandom or what passes for it is indicative of the grow of Intarweb, the burnout of old farts which generally results in READ THE FAQ NOOB, the old farts finally getting semi steady gigs and finding out that paying for serve space sucks, and Steve and Tommy breaking out the ban hammer since the foundation of rt.com.
