Scholarly Journal For Futurama?

I've been wondering what to do with my domain name "goodwebsites.com". I originally got it as the name of a website reviewing page that I wanted to do, but these days those sort of sites are crammed into the itty-bitty hole of the attention span of the average Interent user.

Since the more interesting sites have nothing to do with their names (i.e. what does "theonion.com" have anything to do with vegitables, or "google.com" for really large numbers?), perhaps "goodwebsites.com" can be used for a journal where Futurama watchers submit articles where they explore the show in ways that approach a scholastic level. "Whoosh.org" is one such journal that is dedicated to Xena fans submitting their work, and the articles there are often well worth reading. Some articles that writers could send to goodwebsites.com (once I get the site up and running) may include topics such as...

"Leela: Archetype of the Beautiful Flaw"

"Historiography in Futurama: Just Some Stupid Ages?"

"Bender and Robot Ethnography"

"The Influence of the Dilbert Era"

"Everyman Be Damned: The Differentiation of Phillip J. Fry"

"Religion, Folklore and New NYC"

"Individuality and the Role of Fashion in the Impersonal Y3K"

"Gerintocracy - Farnsworth's Ascension and Retention of Power"

"Inconsistencies in Love's Ways (Leela's Heart Meets Flesh-O-Pond)"

Could something like this be launced off the ground? Who might be interested in composing and submitting their work, and if they aren't around here, then where could I find them?
