Note from Amedia: Y'all know that Yahoo Groups--and with them, years of irreplaceable fannish history--are going away, right? I've been downloading the messages from Rat Patrol groups and a few other small fandoms whose groups I belonged to, and the more people we have participating, the better!!!

We need to find more links to fandom themed Yahoo Groups



1. If you want to help, try few of these Google Searches (these are only examples)

Then add your links here (one link per line)

site:www.oocities.org groups.yahoo slash
site:www.oocities.org groups.yahoo slash "fanfiction"
site:www.oocities.org groups.yahoo slash "fan fiction"
site:www.oocities.org yahoo group "fanfiction"

"groups.yahoo" "fanfiction" -fanfiction.net
"groups.yahoo" "fan fiction" -fanfiction.net
"groups.yahoo" "slash" -fanfiction.net -fanlore

"groups.yahoo" "slash" site:angelfire.com
"groups.yahoo" "fanfiction" site:angelfire.com

site:www.geocities.ws "groups.yahoo" "slash"
"fan fiction" "groups.yahoo" site: geocities.ws
"fanfiction" "groups.yahoo" site: geocities.ws

You can add fandoms as well

site:www.oocities.org groups.yahoo buffy

2. Or you can browse the Internet Archive for links to old Groups and check to see if they're active today

Ex: Buffy http://web.archive.org/web/20050226132445/http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Entertainment___Arts/Television/Genres/Horror/Titles/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer/Fan_Fiction?st=70&show_groups=1 (click on the next page to advance, there are 80 captured)

Xena (only 1 page) http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Entertainment___Arts/Television/Genres/Science_Fiction_and_Fantasy/Titles/Xena:_Warrior_Princess/Fan_Fiction?show_groups=1

Some Phantom Menace: http://web.archive.org/web/20030405175958/http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Entertainment___Arts/Movies/Genres/Science_Fiction_and_Fantasy/Series/Star_Wars_Series/Fan_Fiction?show_groups=1


Anyway, the starting point to look under fandoms is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20020223213956/http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/dir/Entertainment___Arts/Humanities/Books_and_Writing/Fan_Fiction/Television_Shows

3. Never liked history? Then head over to the current Yahoo Group Fandom Categories and look for Groups

Comics: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600017755

To find Fan Fiction for bookies, movies and TV, start with the Categories then drill down

TV: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600035298

can lead you to TV-->Genre-->Cop Shows---> Titles
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600035953

Movies: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600021782

Or just look under Genre (Sci-Fi/Mystery): https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600109408

Last, look under the Book-Writing FanFiction: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600213040

Ex: Harry Potter: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1600754260

Tolkien/LOTR: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/dir/1601410403
