Community
Over the years, Megatokyo's fans have assembled a number of interesting websites dedicated to their enjoyment of the comic. Like most literary endevors, Megatokyo has attracted attention from people with a wide variety of interests and talents. Ultimately, no single page can do justice to the vast outpouring of fan and community efforts both on the internet and in real life. We can, however, attempt to capture a snapshot of some of the things going on in the community.
If you know of MT community events or websites which are particularly interesting, please let us know by emailing core@megatokyo.com.
