Mirror Asylums


This is a list of IJ asylums that have been created solely for cross-posting content from LiveJournal (or GreatestJournal, though I haven't found examples for those yet). The initial discussion can be found here.

For now, the list is just sorted alphabetically, without additional info; I'm going to develop a better system when there's enough content.

Original Fiction and Writing in general


A list of asylums that deal with original fiction / slash, and writing or genre fiction in general. It helps narrowing down the content of the [info]fandomdirectory, and I hope it can serve as a useful starting point for writers on InsaneJournal. (Partly inspired by this discussion.)

Feeds

A list of syndicated feeds on InsaneJournal that have to do with fandom. It's going to be a constant work in progress -- please use this url: http://fdir-editor.insanejournal.com/2007/08/05/ to link here.

If one day the post gets too long, I'll split it up in feeds from LiveJournal and other sources, but for now I'll list both.

[- the feed can't get updated because it's too big-issue and how to solve it (by [info]yourlibrarian) Eta: Some of the bigger feeds should work now after the code update went live in March '08. However, there are still feeds that can't get through. These are listed at the bottom of this entry.]

---------------------------------

Feeds that don't update because they're too big -- I'll check these sporadically to see if anything has changed. The best way is to ask the maintainers of the syndicated community/webpage if they can change their feed settings to reduce its size. )

Backup Asylums

This means that the asylums, or journals, are just name-squatting for an existing LiveJournal (or other -Journal) community, serving as emergency backup in case the comm should be forced to move, or simply ensuring the name is already taken. Usually they are not open for membership and don't get updated.

For now, the list is just sorted alphabetically, without additional info except for the maintainers and a link to the comm they are based on; I'm going to develop a better system when there's enough content.
