1. The Media Fandom Oral History Project: This project will be an audio record of media fans telling their fandom history in their own words using their own voices. The goal is to preserve a record of media fandom for future generations. The project is being run by Morgan Dawn and Franzi Dickson and underwent a pilot test at Escapade 2012 under the Escapade convention sponsorship. The goal is to now expand the program to a wider audience to capture both slash and non-slash fandom’s history. (http://transformativeworks.org/projects/oral-history)

2. This Is How It Works, by Lim; Women's Work, by Sisabet and Luminosity

3. Pop! Goes the Fanart (Guest post by fanartist Betty Anne)(http://symposium.transformativeworks.org/2010/09/pop-goes-the-fanart/

4. news-of-note (otw_news + news-of-note 177)

5. "a Japanese word that translates to friend, comrade, or crewmate. In some anime and manga fandoms, such as One Piece, the word has gained a special significance among English language fans. Nakama are considered to be as close--or closer--than family." often not translated. (http://fanlore.org/wiki/Nakama)


Here ya go! Hope you had a lot of responses, bc this was a really great way to showcase a lot of the different projects and aspects of OTW. I'd been to most, but it was still neat, and it was fun showing my son (who usually hears me complain about one thing or another :). And i'd never been to the Pinboard account, so...useful for every and all. Congrats!

Thanks again for your participation!

You answered all the questions correctly! It is indeed News of Note that has the most uses on pinboard.
