In which I take on another Epic Project, apparently.

...okay. The general consensus seems to be that what Star Trek fandom (all franchises) really, really needs as a whole is a fannish newsletter on LJ (believe it or not, there isn't one). I've been offered the resurrection of trek_news, and, heck, why not? It'll be a ton of work to set up, but I think it'll really be worth it, especially with the movie and all. The main problem appears to be that nobody can find anything in this fandom, and having one watchlist would be a huge deal.

Anyone interested in helping out? To be honest, I've been toying with this idea for a couple weeks now, and it'll be some time before it gets off the ground (insert your own joke about warp-drive capability here), but any advice and/or assistance would be much appreciated in the meantime. The moderation/helping-out I do (who_daily et al. and Teaspoon) involves an extremely active fandom, but the actual co-modding I do is a lot more on the quiet side, so this could be an interesting intermediate.

Also, there's the entirely self-serving if-I-don't-do-it-who-will mentality. I cheerfully admit to that. :D

(If you know of anyone you think might be interested in helping out, feel free to nudge them in my general direction! I'll be doing some cross-posting once I've got more to work with.)

Maybe by the New Year?

I'm so very, very much out of the loop on Trek fandom that I can't offer to help, but I have added it to my flist!

I'm afraid this is a very lame answer, but I would LOVE to read that -- though I don't think I can actually help with it. Ummm...moral support? *feels useless*

I'm honestly not sure how much free time I'm going to have in the near future (still looking for a teaching job - it all depends on if I find one), but I'd be glad to do something to help out.

Hurrah. Will be friending this.
