I'm heaviest on Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, and Queer as Folk but I'll read anything that I have even a passing knowledge of. I'm willing to help if you don't mind. It's summer where I live so I'll have a few weeks of spare time and I was planning on organizing my saved fics anyway. I'm just a bit iffy about contacting the authors because I totally don't know what to say and some of the authors from older fandoms can't be contacted anymore.

Just throwing an idea out there, how about allowing people to submit requests for specific fanfic they'd like to see archived? That way it will be more obvious what fandoms are in demand and it can be up to the requester to ask the author for permission. Maybe authors can give blanket permission or refusal for their fics. Then volunteers can compile the ebook and submit to the archive. I'm not very clear how the whole thing would work but it could make it easier I guess.
