I agree that it's not <i>hard</i> per se, there's just a lot of it. Although it's one area where my being pretty anal actually helps, LOL!<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1847902007209931042.post-79269182546597617942009-06-19T11:48:10.247-07:002009-06-19T11:48:10.247-07:00What a good idea!

Other groups have done collective marketing before, but I've only ever seen the resulting ads. Having a major web site as well with info on the writers, the stories and the publishers, even the artists and reviewers and all, to go along with it and for the ads to specifically point <i>at</i> is a brilliant idea IMO.<br /><br /><i>the campaing to overturn same-sex marriages in Maine, my home state, has now signed on the publicity firm that ran Prop 8 in California</i><br /><br />Yuck. :( I'll bet the Mormon church will be pouring funding into it too, like they did over here. Best of luck keeping the haters down. [hugs/crossed fingers]<br /><br />Charles -- it can be, yes. [nod] Having everyone do their own pages helps a lot, although of course people have different levels of experience and comfort with building the pages. Mel came up with <a href="http://bookworld.editme.com/TheGuide" rel="nofollow">A Newbie Guide</a> based on using the Rich Text Editor rather than straight HTML. Figure, any group that decides to start a wiki will probably have at least a couple of code-savvy people, and coming up with this kind of guide for the folks who are more hesitant would be a huge help.<br /><br />I've known writers who've put together wikis based on their own fiction, their worlds and character or whatever, and with just one or two people working on it, it can definitely be a lot of work. They thought it was worth it, though, to have a complete, hyperlinked reference they could pop onto whenever they were in the middle of writing and needed to look something up.<br /><br />And yes, I can very easily imagine some fans doing it as a sort of online encyclopedia for whatever it is they're fans of.
