Main < FilkFAQ

The purpose of this FAQ is to provide answers to questions commonly asked within the filking community. I've been a member of the filking community for about 25 years now as both a listener and a performer, and hope that the info provided here will be of use to new filkers as well as those curious about this whole "filk" thing. Many thanks to those who have contributed. Please note that my opinions may not reflect those of other filkers. This FAQ should *not* be regarded as being definitive, but only as a rough guide; I will be updating info over time. Wherever possible, I have also included links to other sources of related information. Unfortunately I've had to turn off commenting because of spammers but plan to reinstate commenting once I've switched over to Wordpress on the new server. Also see Kay Shapero's rec.music.filk Filk FAQ.- Debbie

Question: Where can I network with other filkers online?

Livejournal: Many members of the filk community have their own Livejournals now. To see a partial list, check out the "Friends" list I've compiled in the Dandelion Report LJ. To get added to this list, simply add "dandelionreport" to your own LJ Friends list. I check my User Info periodically for LJs to add.

rec.music.filk: Usenet newsgroup. Lots of traffic. Please do read the posting rules of the newsgroup first (from Kay Shapero's Filk FAQ).

MSN Filking group: Nice interface, relatively new list so not as busy as rec.music.filk yet.

Filk.com message boards: "The World Of Filk Music".

FilkNet: UK-based filk community service provider. Check out the IRC chat for filkers, #filkhaven on irc.filknet.org.

German Filk Mailinglist (minimalist@filk.info, subject: subscribe filk-de) and a German Filk Forum.

Filk-related mailing lists from Kay Shapero's Filk FAQ.

FKOfilk list: "For those who recall the fun of the old GEnie Filk Round Table, a place to discuss filk music. An ongoing focus will be the posting of news, information and announcement related to FilKONtario."
