ANYONE ON MY FLIST INVOLVED IN ANY FANDOM WHATSOEVER PLIS READ INSTEAD OF SCROLLING

So here's a thought: a fandom wikipedia. Multifandom, a one-stop-shop for terminology, pairing names, significant communities and events, anything you wanted, really. Because you would be the editors/creators. I'm enthused by this idea, and am willing to purchase a domain name and space specifically for it, as well as install the wiki software. Two questions:

1. Do you know if there's an existing fandom wiki or something like it out there?

2. Would you use it? (And by that I mean not only use it as a reference, but submit information to it.)

“These qualifications make the rather basic point that an experience of cinema is not limited to the duration, or content of a particular film, since texts are contextualised in a variety of different ways by the other mass media, and by the more immediate and diverse ways in which different groups appropriate images from those media. Such an understanding has been crucial to a variety of critical discussions of popular pleasure.”

THANKYOU, Yvonne Tasker, for saying so succintly what I always tend to be inarticulate in expressing (not just a little bit because i'm usually agape at the idea that anyone could consider it *not* to be the case) - A MOVIE/TV SHOW/TEXT IS NOT JUST WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN THERE. there is so, SO much more, and each reading just as valid as the other.
