obstinatrixCome on, I know I have a ton of you. Folks who're into awesome stuff that nobody else knows enough about or writes enough of, I'm looking at you. I'm organising a feature at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
spnroundtable whose basic intention is to shine a spotlight on the parts of the fandom that don't get much attention. Effectively, if you're into something that isn't Sam/Dean, J2 or Dean/Castiel and you're interested in doing some recs/explaining the appeal/setting out what the fanon is, etc, I want to hear from you. Novakers! JDM ficcers! Femslash people! Angelcesters! Anything and everything that does not fall under the three biggest headings in this fandom (and this includes fairly big pairings like Sam/Castiel) is fair game.
Please do consider signing up!
The official blurb from the post, just to make it easier for you since I think I've done a good job of making it less clear through trying to simplify:
So, here's the concept: we want to launch a regular feature for the members of Round Table to 'pimp out', or pitch, those particular parts of fandom which are small, or lesser known, or neglected, and which you wish had more activity. Ever wished there was more fic with JDM in it? Pitch JDM fandom here. On the other side of things, ever wished you understood what Novaks fandom was all about? Hopefully, this can also be the sort of place you can come to find your answers. Basically, if you're a fan of a rarepair or a niche genre in fandom, we want you to sign up and explain it and its benefits to everyone else -- a sort of Ship Manifesto for your favourite thing that nobody pays enough attention to.
What counts as a rarepair/niche? Well, some of the things we thought of included: CW RPF femslash, Jared/JDM, Meg/Castiel, Bobby/Rufus, Novakverse, Thingstiel, J2/Danneel/Gen -- but, obviously, this isn't an exhaustive list! If we could think of all the component parts of fandom ourselves, we wouldn't need Pimp Your... :) If your pairing/special area isn't listed, that doesn't mean it's not okay! Sign up, make your suggestion, and as long as it isn't Sam/Dean, Dean/Castiel or J2, it's allowed. Don't worry if you're not sure how to structure your post or what to put in it -- we're here to help with all that stuff later.
