I'm looking into possibly re-opening the community for activity. It seems that a lot of things have changed since I was last able to spare time for fannish pursuits.
I'm not into tumblr, but maybe it'd be useful to have like, a mirror!tumblr, if reccers wanted to opt in? Then manifesto content (with the author's name attached) and knowledge of what the community is would spread among younger fans, who may not be aware of what a great resource it is.
I don't know your stance on this, but could there be updates/secondary posts for some of the older manifestos? I know of a few that could do with an update on the direction a fandom's gone in, another perspective, info about the additional canon that's come out since, etc.
* Also Ao3 does meta now, so there could be an optional Ship-Manifesto Collection.
I don't know if I'd manage to actually do a manifesto - I'd like to, though! - but it would be excellent to see the comm active again, even if quieter. :-)
