This is an opportunity to talk about space fandoms with other members, rekindle an old flame or find a new love. Tell us about the fandoms you’re most interested in for the exchange. Invite members to check out your fandom, tell us about the canon and well-loved tropes, etc. What do you love about it?
Books, movies, television, comics, etc. All sources are applicable. Our working definition of "in space" is:
Some sort of intelligent beings in space at some point (before, during, or after canon) in a way that's significant to some aspect of the narrative.
At the moment, we're leaving "significant to the narrative" up to participants and trusting people will keep it in mind. But we do want people (of some sort) in space (at some point), and not just objects. So aliens yes; missiles and satellites, no.
I'll try to keep up a list of thread links in this post from both LJ & DW so you don't miss anything. :)
You can also submit posts to our tumblr if you like to roll that way.

Also, a reminder that this is a multimedia exchange. We've listed the common types of media in the FAQ (fic, art & vid) but will be polling the community before nominations start about other media types. At this point we're unsure how large the exchange will be, but if there is enough interest (and hence chance of matching) we will happily consider additional media. podficcers, I'm looking at you. Whatever media options we end up with, participants will have an opportunity to choose media type on both requests and offers.
OK, I think I've gone on enough -- LET'S TALK SPACE!!!!! :)
