Ehh, yeah. Fanlore has a long way to go, and its focus is definitely on North American media fandoms, which is fine, but I don't think it's the best fit for someone like us.
igo_yaoi! Yeah, there were at least a couple of scans communities. Coming in as a new fan I have to say it was annoying as fuck to have to navigate a journal instead of a proper archive, and of course it suffers from a lot of dead links.
Actually providing scans in addition to information might piss a lot of people off (primarily scanlators, I'm thinking) and draw unwanted attention, but HikaGo might be a small enough fandom to get away with it. It would be a lovely resource to be sure.
