New Spreadsheet Project: Canons Legally Available For Free On The Internet
Hello everyone! rabidsamfan and I have embarked on a new Yuletide organization project: providing the links for all canons that are legally available for free on the internet.
Here is the spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yUCtIOsDhnW_NxI94Pkbjf1_0-WYRnBl8q5_sEbKtik/
We have gone through and pre-populated with links we already had, thanks to the work of others on this comm in organizing fandoms, and through some googling. As of right now, we have the links for about 300 fandoms. That is just a very small fraction of the Yuletide tagset.
What we need:
Criteria for inclusion:
This is a huge project and probably impossible, but we're going to give the ol' Yuletide try. *\o/*

We have gone through and pre-populated with links we already had, thanks to the work of others on this comm in organizing fandoms, and through some googling. As of right now, we have the links for about 300 fandoms. That is just a very small fraction of the Yuletide tagset.
What we need:
- Collaborators! These people will be given edit access to the spreadsheet and will add information, either that they found themselves or from the comments. We would like it if people could volunteer to look over certain categories. For instance, there are 732 movies nominated; it would be great if there could be a team of people working on those.
We've also started adding subcategories to the tagset's main categories and need people to brainstorm and fill those out, as well. - Commenters! If you know of a link, please comment below and someone will add it to the spreadsheet. Please provide the following information:
If the canon is available legally for free on the internet:
Fandom: Name of fandom as it appears in the tagset
Link: Hyperlink(s) to the canon's location
Comments: any additional information, such as that it only has the 5th season of a tv show.
Known Geolocking Problems: if you know if the link is only available in certain countries, please indicate that!
If the canon is NOT available legally for free on the internet:
If you know that the canon is not legally available for free on the internet, please comment with the name of the fandom as it appears in the tagset, and we will mark it as not available. - Google Sheets experts! If there are things we can do to make this spreadsheet better, we'd love the help.
Criteria for inclusion:
- The canon has to be legally available. Please don't provide links to bootlegs.
- It's fine if it's partial. Example: only the last season of a TV show, or only one movie in a series.
- It's fine if it's geolocked. Example: if the canon is only available on BBC iPlayer, we are happy to list it.
- For now, we have marked all RPF fandoms as "not available". We have linked to promo post comments where we've found them and are happy to link new ones, for those who want to provide links for RPF purposes.
This is a huge project and probably impossible, but we're going to give the ol' Yuletide try. *\o/*
