Complaining about fanlore not having things is like complaining that no one’s written a wiki entry or posted a photoset of your favorite thing. I have a huge chunk of 1980 and 1990s fandom I really should add but I haven’t because I’m a lazy ass. It sounds like you are more motivated so GO DO IT and stop waiting for another fan just like you to do it for you!While this is good advice in the general case, nevertheless there is a distinct conflict of interest (of a sort that is actively against the TOS at Wikipedia) in me making a Fanlore page about The Hero of Three Faces.
Actually, no it doesn’t present a conflict of interest. Fanlore does not use Wikipedia’s TOS or follow Wikipedia’s gatekeeping policies. It uses “plural points of view” which means you don’t have to have a purely objective perspective in order to contribute. If your page is biased in one direction, someone will market it “needs more plural points of view ” and then someone else will help fix it. Fanlore recognizes that fandom has always been a participatory experience not an academic or journalistic one. So go forth and make pages about the things that you love. This is your history and no one else will write it but you.
