Underground Library Needs Your Help
PH Madore has started a wikisite called the Underground Library and he needs your help. The idea is that it will grow beyond the basic project that it is and become a useful resource for all of us. If you know a thing or two, take a few minutes to add that information to an already existing article or write a new one if one doesn’t already exist. The process is fairly simple, even for a computer moron like me, so give it a shot. All contributions are welcome and all contributions to contributions are welcome.
From the Lobby:
Why We’re Here
To document, promote, and sustain the literary underground in the most grassroots way possible: relying on the knowledge of said literary underground. To give incoming generations of writers and publishers a sense of history from which they may learn and to which they can contribute. To remain balanced and factual; to bring writing back to the reader.
I’ve tried writing up a few short things for the library based on my limited knowledge (I’ll also be helping with the site when he heads off to Iraq) and so far have posted rough articles on The Cupboard, the ULA, Bear Parade, Avery Anthology, Publishing Genius, and No Colony. Please add to them or change them if you know more than I or can write it in a much clearer way.
Write your own articles too.
Do stuff.
Visit the Where to Begin page or simply type in a search term and edit an existing page/create a new one.

Thanks for posting this, Ryan Call. If it stays just me and you and the occasional few others, I don’t really care, because by sheer perseverence I think eventually this will become a “useful resource.” I like the whole being-in-it-for-the-longterm thing. It makes me feel like some form of success is inevitable.
Yes, thanks a lot, and also thanks to anyone who goes and imparts their knowledge. You know more than you think you do.

Cool stuff. Should organize a buddy system (a la grade school) where writers get to know each other and write each other’s UL page.
