Some cool things I've come across recently

The organizers of fandom_mashup have set up revisit_me, an LJ community for people who like the idea of remixes but don't want the deadlines or obligations of a formal exchange. Post your info there if you've written fanfic and want to invite others to play in your universe, with as many restrictions as you'd like (you can declare some stories off limits). The mods will be tagging entries by fandom so you can see, for example, all the members who've written LOTR fic. If you write a fic based on or inspired by someone else's, provide a link in a comment in their entry to let them know what you've done. I do hope lots of people sign up for this; as the mods wrote in the userinfo, "The aim here is to encourage more fic writing because that's pretty much a win-win situation for all of fandom."
