Thanking the volunteers
Many of you will have seen Annie's post encouraging people in the UK filk fannish community to volunteer, stand up and take part in their community, enfranchise themselves and so on. Much debate has been sparked, which is cool. It sparked a thought in me to investigate how much of UK filk fandom was involved on the running side of thigs. For this purpose I have excluded performers for no valid reason other than that if I did the list would have taken me even longer and I'd have left out way more people. As it is I know that there are credits I have not given and almost certainly people who should be on there but aren't (especially people who work the cons and/or do tech) - please feel free to add them in comments. Perhaps when we're done Rafe can out it up on http://www.Filk.co.uk/ as a monument to our involvement.
This lists 64 people, of whom I count 42 (ish - it gets fluffy with the Americans) as being current active members of UK filk fandom. Given we're a community of about 140 (or if you want to count the total number of people who have been involved over time including those who've moved on to other things, perhaps about 200) that a pretty good proportion.
( Thank you!!! )
Wow!
Current Mood:  happy
