are there LJ fanart indexes like fic indexes?
Some recent posts brought the really useful ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dcfic_index to my attention again, and I found myself wondering whether there are similar projects to collect links to the comic fanart posted on LJ? A while ago when I was looking for a piece of comic fanart I'd seen, I noticed that comics_fanart for example doesn't use memories or tags, which makes it much harder to find older fanart again compared to, say, find posted scans in scans_daily, which is fabulously organized btw (and I'm in awe that anyone can keep up with organizing it, considering that the really high post frequency is one reason I dropped the community from my default view, since at one point half of each flist view seemed to be scans_daily posts). I haven't seen any art indexes mentioned, though I guess I could just be unaware of it. Or maybe this is similar to fanart being even less consistently archived than fanfic and that there are fewer archives for art? If something like this doesn't already exist, do others think it would be useful to have a dcart_index comm? Not that I'm volunteering per se, I'm naturally lazy after all, but I find myself missing something more organized for finding fanart, and well, I could imagine to do at least part of the work and maintenance for such a project (though it would be much cooler if someone else had already done the work and I could just utilize *g*).
