Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Pitch
It's one of the most essential topics. A driver for attracting more people and presumably the topics with the largest fan group behind it!
Think of all the Trekkies, StarWars'ler, LOTR, GOT, Firefly, Babylon5, Dragonlance, Marvel, and general cinema enthusiasts, movie lovers and movie scene identifiers, binge watchers and movie quote quizzers and ... do I need to go on? I did not even started with books and literature yet (Animes, Comic, Manga, Graphic Novels, Short Stories, Historical, ...).
There has to be a haven for them.
Scope
- Everything that deals with the consuming, discussion or analysis of existing media
- All kinds of topics revolving around cinema, movies, books, comics, anime, manga and stuff
- All kinds of genres from Sci-Fi to RomCom
Not-Scope
- Everything that deals with the self-made creating of media/movies/books/stories etc.
Overlaps
- Not even Writing comes close.
- SciFi&Fantasy maybe fully (it is also in proposal state)
Who&Where
I wish I could say, they are already here. But without some bulletin-board-sized welcome button on the home screen, nobody will detect this place
Potentially: see pitch section. Basically the whole world with internet access.
Additionals
-
I thought about adding Movies&Literature together because of the similar nature of consuming and not creating. But if there is for example a "Quiz" category this might confuse if this is for literature or movies only or both. Ultimately Movies&Literature might need to be split. Thus, advocating in creating them separately from the beginning.
-
The Movies&Literature would be a way to integrate SciFi&Fantasy into a broader frame
-
