kudra2324: on bandom as a fannish community, or: what the hell, people? - there have been people, these village elders, who work together, however informally, to make it clear that certain behavior violates community norms. these aren't norms specific to a particular fandom, these are norms that relate to all fannish interaction, and although on the surface some of them may seem, to readers of this post, like nothing more than minor etiquette points, the impact on others of repeatedly violating them can be devastating. -

readerofasaph: we return to the can of worms: characterisation in fanfiction - Impulse to write/read fanfiction is strongly linked to the desire to see characters in satisfaction of author-kinks and reader-kinks, which are generally more important than ICness; ICness possibly an acquired taste from reading too much fanfiction and may be a kink in itself. -
