The TarrantNostra
Yes, this one doesn't have odd acronyms but with such a cool name, who needs them?
<G> I agree that it's a way cool name. It's from the clever mind of Brooke Barker.
I believe this may be one of the oldest such group in B7 fandom, but I could well be wrong, but I thought it predated the Lyst.
I'd have to dig through files to get specific dates. I'd describe the TN as evolving from an informal group of Tarrant supporters to the group that launched On the Wing (the Tarrant APA), which is over ten years old. The "official" name of Tarrant Nostra came along a bit after that.
This group, is, obviously, those who favour Tarrant. Carol McCoy is "The Godmother" of the the TarrantNostra; other members may not be so clearly identified.
Not even clearly identified by me because I'm a lazy recorder keeper. :) But our newest title holder is Penny Dreadful who was recently appointed to the position of Defender of Tarrant's Trousers.
New members need only declare allegiance to join the ranks. And we've been known to try to drag in the unconverted as well.
