Something Vali said in a comment somewhere reminded me

Someoneshould write something called History Of Online Fandom: a chronicle of fandom and its wars. Cause dude, I'd so like to read that, and finally find out details about things like the big Homicide split, all the shit in Sentinel fandom, due South quarrels, stuff like that.

I'm a gossip. ^_^

It's been proposed multiple times...

Things like that have been proposed multiple times but the problem seems to be what is defined as a war and who would do it and how to present the ideas... because big things don't always matter to some people...

Mmmmm... but if you do want to do something like that, let me know as I can think of a few Trek incidents and stuff where I know what happened in the fandom... I'd love to help with that.

Oooh, the big Homicide split, lmao.

It's a good idea, but it'd have to be written from an unbiased point of view, with interviews from both sides. It would be very hard to iron out all the details and not make one side better than the other.

Especially with Homicide. Especially with some of the thing the Autofocus faction did.

Oh yes! That would be fascinating!

I would SO read that.
