Vorkosiverse on Crack_Van

I'll be driving the [livejournal.com profile] crack_van for the Vorkosiverse as a Featured Fandom in March.  The fandom overview is, erm, somewhat limited and out of date, being almost exactly five years old.  I'd like to do a supplement; what things and people do you guys think should be added?

I kind of feel that the fandom divide is between a mostly genfic core on bujold_fic and the drive-by ficcers that write for yuletide or other challenges (often slash) but don't otherwise participate in fandom.

On this side of the language barrier, anyway.

Yeah, that's how it feels to me as well. There are a bunch of people who write regularly for the fandom, and there's a much wider group who know and love the books but only rarely write fic for the fandom. Though 'divide' implies some kind of antagonism, and there really isn't that at all, just two different groups of people.
