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: What is the Filk Hall of Fame?

From the Filk Hall of Fame Web site: "Created in 1994, the Filk Hall of Fame inducted its first members at FilKONtario 5. Each year three to five more members of the filk community will be recognized and added to the roster of the Hall of Fame. The Filk Hall of Fame was created to honour the people whose contributions have made a difference to what the filk community means to all of us. Members are chosen based on the nominations made by the filk community in general. At FilKONtario, they are presented with a plaque and a citation that summarises the reasons for the nominations."
