I thinnk the fact that so many names have come out of the woodwork in order 
to discuss this - people I whose names I haven't seen since I was writing 
"Curse of the Banshee" - indicates that many, many people care about the 
list.  I think this is certainly a call for expansion.  Someone said 
something about supply and demand.  Rather than trying to decide which new 
fandoms we want to include, why don't we post a list of things we'd like to 
see more of?  (And if that includes other fandoms, well, cool!)

Also, reading stories from different fandoms can often, as was pointed out, 
provoke someone to look up the canon material.  Lance now has every episode 
of Neon Genesis Evangelion because he read "Children of an Elder God."

A lot of people want to expand the limits of fics on the FFML, but a lot 

of

people also aren't prepared for the conscequenses of allowing Harry 

Potter

yet.  So, in a bit of a smaller step towards broadening our horizons, 

why

not allow video game fics?  I assume they aren't allowed yet because I 

don't

think I've ever seen any, and if they are allowed I wish I'd realized it
sooner because I could have been sending a lot more fics in.

Japanese video games have always been allowed, because they are in fact
cartoons.  Just interactive ones.
