Greetings, 'netlings!
As you may have heard, there's a new hangout* in town,
c6d_universe! C6D Universe is your home for all non-
due South Canadian fannish endevours. Got a fanmix dedicated to
Passchendaele? Awesome, post it to C6D Universe. Desperate to discuss theories on just how Callum got his hair that greasy for
Slap Shot 2? C6D Universe is the place! Have you written a 30,000 word fic about
Wonderfalls? That counts, too, and we'd love to see it!
So what fandoms do count? Well, pretty much everything, really. From our userinfo:
C6D ... is a large group of related fandoms that have some connection to the television show due South.
This encompasses fandoms that are "six-degree-ish" of a small set of (mostly) Canadian artists: Paul Gross, David Marciano**, Callum Keith Rennie, Hugh Dillon, Don McKellar, Bruce McDonald and Daniel MacIvor.
For instance, the talented Laurence Lebeouf, who plays Sadie Sweeney on Durham County. Durham County
counts as C6D because Hugh Dillon is in it, so anything Laurence Lebeouf has been in counts as a C6D fandom as well.Meaning, you go right ahead and post clips of James Allodi in
Glitter, or screencaps of Molly Parker being a hotass in period dress in
Deadwood, or meta on why
Being Erica should be a really good show but is really not***. If you really aren't sure, feel free to ping one of your mods,
akamine_chan,
sionnain or
waltzforanight. We are happy to help you out with anything you need, if we can. (Sorry, ponies and Leoben copies are not available at this time.)
The main thing C6D Universe wants to be is a place where fans can post all their doesn't-quite-fit-anywhere-else fannish output, from
Durham County fic (more please!) to picspams of Don McKellar (again, more please!) and everything in between. But we also want to be a place where fans can meet other fans, where people can mingle and generally be awesome with other awesome people. To help with that, in the coming weeks/months we will be introducing challenges, pimp-a-thons and other such interactive goodness to give you the warm 'n fuzzies.
Sounds awesome, right?
