thefakeheadline: And now I will babble on slash and canon and subtext — "Now, as for the question of whether intentional slashy subtext is good or bad: I enjoy it in moderation as much as the next fangirl. But if it happens all the time, it starts to feel a little hinky to me."

Fanproduct Meta

laurashapiro: Vid Download Poll Results and Analysis — Vid meta about download size and file format.

nestra: Does anyone out there have any questions about PolyRecs? — an open offer to answer questions about her reccing process.

glockgal: This is for the girls — "What I'm trying to understand are the people who do read, write and draw [taboo subjects] and I include myself. How justified can we make it? What is the limit? How far can we push it? It is morally right?"

china_shop: Of Fraser, Buffy and (glancingly) Robin of Sherwood — " I'm thinking about the whole Chosen One dynamic."

kita0610: Er. Ok. I jump in with two feet. In my mouth. — "How can someone NOT consider authorial intent as inherently more valid an interpretation of the text than anyone else's? I mean, it's the author's text, isn't it?"

paratti: Canon intent and the politics of language — "In response to various discussions on authorial intent and a last couple of days spent re-writing some spectacularly bad writing in a RL area. Expanding off a reply to Kita to include other points regarding to DVD commentaries and the use of language."

executrix: The Common As Muck Reader — "There are a lot of things going on under the umbrella of fandom, and IMO the validity of author intention varies wildly depending on which one of them is going on."

Specific fandom meta

innle: The West Wing, or, I Am A Big Dork — "A whole pile of late-to-the-party questions" about The West Wing.

thebratqueen: On canon and stuff — "And just to make it even more complicated we have the problem that Joss jokes, babbles, lies like a rug, and frequently makes it all up as he goes along."

lolaraincoat: thinking about Buffy some more: notes on gender and the fight scenes — "In discussing BtVS's queerness you have to look at the way that physical fighting = masculine/active/penetrative sexuality in the Hollywood tradition, but not necessarily in other film traditions."

swmbo: Much with the joy...and a little with the ranting. — Re: "Joss's quote about Spike and Angel. The people saying that he's doing it for 'queer cred' or to 'pander to fans' need a reality check."

On writing

musesfool: Rita Hayworth gave great face (on style) — "I was thinking about writing style, and do I have one that's recognizable, .... and how it's changed over the past four and half years..."

resonant8: More plot considerations — "Here's more of what I'm learning from plotting books."

st_crispins: Framing the Story — "Sure, a lot of bad projects deserve to be aborted but a lot of good projects die prematurely as well. .... What every story requires in order to be written, and written well, is an internal structure, a frame."

firesignwriter: Navel-gazing. or naval-gazing. a bit of both, really — On multiple shades of interpretation.

sine_que_non767: Yet another discussion on "how to write" books. — "All that's to say - it's not that I won't read 'how to write' books .... I'm just glad that I didn't read any when I was younger, otherwise I really think I would have been put off writing for life."

kindkit: Ficcish discussion and a non-squee — "I've been thinking a lot about point-of-view in fic lately, and I'd love to get a discussion going about some issues."
