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.

Question: I just heard XXX at OVFF and want one of his CDs! Why can't I find it at my local music shop?

Filk recordings are usually not commercially available because most are independently produced. The best way to buy a particular performer's CD is to approach that performer directly at a convention, or check the dealer's room of a convention where the performer is a Guest of Honour.

You can order most filk CDs from filk dealers.

Here is a list (from Kay Shapero's Web site).

Failing that, try the performer's Web site, if they have one. Some offer online ordering.
