Title: Fanlistings
Post by: DiamondPetals on January 02, 2023 @364.32
I was going through a (dead) old blog of mine and I found that I have a whole page dedicated to all the fanlistings I've joined, and, last Friday I received an email from a webmaster saying that they've updated their fanlisiting site.

I miss joining fanlistings. I'm not sure about now, but back then there was pretty much a fanlisting for anything. There was even a fanlisting about joining a fanlisting! They also always have some cool graphics to download and for you to put on your site to link the fanlisting. It was so much fun.

My favorite fanlisting/clique is Scented (https://scented.minty.nu/) (check the site out!), and if you wanna know more about fanlistings, check out thefanlistings.org (https://thefanlistings.org/)

Oh man, I used to love fanlistings! I had a whole bunch on the sites I no longer have. The sad part is, though, that they change hands so often that you can go look them up after a few years and they're all completely different :notgood:

I've been thinking about spinning up a new page dedicated to them. I haven't joined that many with my current site, but I may have to change that soon.

Was coincidentally looking into them just as I stumbled onto this thread! I'm probably gonna join a few if my site fits them and if they're still active, I like the idea of connecting with others through shared interests. :unite:

I remember being a member in some in 2010 but I never quite got the point of them?

Well, the ones I was in are gone now. But surprisingly new ones are made as I found these last year:

https://jiang.wanyin.org/fanlist (https://jiang.wanyin.org/fanlist)
https://moudoku.com/lan/ (https://moudoku.com/lan/)
https://psyche.nu/wwx/ (https://psyche.nu/wwx/)

Has anyone ever made one? For some reason they are always on php.

My OTP, I feel like I'm obligated to. I applied for the Anime Fanlistings website but man. I got an error like "you must have a URL that starts with http://" when I wrote https://. This tech seems very outdated.

Yeah it does seem very outdated. Most recent fanlistings let you apply without having a website

I have so many tabs in a browser window open about fanlistings. I'm not sure what I will do about it, but I want to do something!

I use to own some fanlistings and loved them, now I am trying to get back in them. I have applied for one at the anime fanlistings so we will see, but I do have some more idea for others. :cheesy: My favorites are for the relationship Arnold & Helga of Hey Arnold and Harry & Hermione of Harry Potter.

I am a part of a few fanlisting, and ironically that is how someone found about my site, so its still working as it should, you know finding other people who share your interests

Man, I totally forgot about fanlistings! Thanks for reminding me that they exist; I actually went out and joined a few Bleach-related thanks to this thread. Though I can't seem to find the one I remember seeing for one of my favorite characters ;_; Oh well, I know it's somewhere out there!

Have you checked out the fanlistings (http://thefanlistings.org/approved.php) or anime fanlistings (https://www.animefanlistings.com/approved.php)?

My fanlisting was finally approved :grin: I'll link (https://fandango.neocities.org/juhaku/) it though I doubt any of you know the subject matter.

But if anyone wants to make a fanlisting on Neocities (= you can't use the php script) and you need help, then I can make a guide. Though mine uses JavaScript and Discord.

I've finally taken a proper dig thorugh TFL and the anime subset of it and... promptly discovered that like 98% of things/characters/actors/etc that I love do not have a fanlisting  :sad:

I know that the logical answer to that would be "well that's a reason to make one!", which is true, but like. ALL OF THEM??? (i hate choosing)

i actually found a castlevania fanlisting (http://fan.towerofmist.net/castlevania/) that was updated as recently as february of this year!! most of the sites listed seem to be dead, but that's all the more reason to apply, isn't it? ;)

I'm not sure about TFL, but on TAFL the fanlistings get booted from the site if they have inactivity of 2+ months.

I made another one (oh no). Look what you've started!

Join if you like him... The Scaramouche fanlisting, Peregrinus (https://fandango.neocities.org/scaramouche/).

My friend has been wanting to make a fanlisting on Neocities, so a guide would really help him :0!

Alright here it is: GUIDE: Making a fanlisting on Neocities (with a Discord webhook) (https://forum.melonland.net/index.php?topic=1813.0)

Let me know if more instruction is needed (or if I effed up somehow and it doesn't work :drat: ).
