graycardinalAn amusing discovery this morning while engaged in Google-fu: someone has decided that Gray Cardinal deserves a page over on Fanlore. It is, as might be expected, a modest and unassuming page, but it did prompt me to look at my DW profile for the first time in [REDACTED], and thereupon to make one or two overdue updates to the material thereon.
As you might expect from being based on a Very Old Profile, the initial content of the Fanlore page is slightly less than complete...which presents yours truly with a minor dilemma. As it turns out, Fanlore policy explicitly says that the subject of a page is allowed to edit that page, and it is very tempting for yours truly to go in and tinker a bit. At the same time, I am not really comfortable with engaging in quite that degree of shameless self-promotion (surely it's not for me to suggest what my own most notable works are -- the stats from my recent meme-post might suggest one or two additions to the Fanlore editor's top three, but given a free hand, I could find reasons to include entirely too many more), and certain logistic difficulties arise in terms of just who'd have to be credited for the relevant edits.
So: if a helpful Fanlore editor happens to be reading this: do mention Holmestice (I've now written more stories for that than for Yuletide). Do mention "crossover geek". I've done enough remixes now -- five, plus "Career Day" -- that that may be worth noting. And...besides "crossover geek", it occurs to me that over time I've become something of a specialist in micro-fandoms, both in and outside of Yuletide.
As for me? I'll be over here smiling like a loon, plotting my next Holmestice entry, and checking to see if Lew Grade will sign me up for the standard Rich & Famous Contract....
