On making and running fan sites part 1
Oct. 14th, 2005 11:39 pmThis little essay/rant has been running around in my head in bits and pieces for almost a year and a half. It's a collection of things I've learned and observations I've made in my more than 5 years of running a moderately successful fan site. I'd love some feedback as I post the various parts, especially from the web masters of fan sites and the writers on my flist. Thanks in advance :)
On The Making and Running of Fan Sites
One thing any fan will learn quickly upon entering the massive entity known as online fandom is that fan sites exist by the millions - some wonderful, some good, and many absolutely horrible. I've been running a moderately sized Star Wars fansite for over 5 years and like to think I've learned a few things about what goes into making a good site and what it takes to run one.
( Part 1: Do you have what it takes? )
To be continued in Part 2: You need a great idea
