What is a fanlisting?

Official definition

Quoth TAFL:
A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject.

My interpretation

Fanlistings have become quite the fad since it first caught on several years ago. It first started with TFL but now, anime and manga related fanlistings fall under a separate network, TAFL. Both joining and maintaining fanlistings have become quite a hobby for webmasters. Right now, many webmasters have a "fanlisting collective", where they list all the fanlistings they own and have joined. The fanlisting-owner community has grown quite large; just take a look at the TAFL board.

This fanlisting for Renji was one of my first fanlistings, proudly opened back in April of 2004. Since then, I have made 7 new layouts and revamped the codes 3 times. This is one of my proudest fanlistings that I probably will never let go. To own a fanlisting, build it, and maintain it is quite a pleasure, especially if you love the subject like none other. This is true of Renji. Most fanlistings don't come with an extensive information/analysis section like this one does. But I think this just shows my dedication and love for Renji ^_~
