  • HUMOR 2005-03-11: lori: It's Friday
    [livejournal.com profile] lori: Next up on the fannish mailing list of your choice (please pick two and move to the next steamtable): A. Feedback, why do other people get so much and I don't. B. Old Guard versus the Newbies

  • 2005-03-12: idlerat: Meta is from Mars, Alan Rickman is from Venus: Homotextual
    [livejournal.com profile] idlerat: And I thought, that's a lot like the basic root-level frisson of fan fiction. There's this doubling effect, this overlay of the source text/character and the fic version. And then I thought, is this a sort of essential truth about slash?

  • 2005-03-12: savageseraph: BDSM Query...
    [livejournal.com profile] savageseraph: If any of you all have a few extra minutes today or tomorrow and you are inclined to take pity on the Sick!Seraph, please reply to this and talk to me a little about what you think about BDSM fics,

  • 2005-03-13: tanacawyr: And on the optimistic side of the fannish spectrum --
    [livejournal.com profile] tanacawyr: I'm not sure how yet as I'm still thinking this through, but there seems to be a way in which these two sentiments are polarized. On the one hand, the ad-driven model for corporate art seems to demand that impersonal economics drive the creative side of things (and stupid, poorly understood economics at that).

  • 2005-03-12: writers_wrath: How To "Come Out" of the Fandom Closet
    [livejournal.com profile] writers_wrath: Becoming part of the fandom community can be challenging to anyone. One always runs the risk of not having their fanish lifestyles openly accepted by friends and family. Yes, we could live out our fandom lives in the proverbial closet, but is that really being true to who we are?

  • 2005-03-12: widget285: Religion in the BSG universe
    [livejournal.com profile] widget285: Their religion is polytheistic. They have a pantheon of Gods who are known as the Lords of Kobol (this connection is made explicitly in “Bastille Day” when Tom Zarek refers to Apollo as a “a God, a Lord of Kobol”) who left their homeworld, Kobol and founded the twelve colonies.

  • 2005-03-13: green_queen: An Evening with Peter Jackson
    [livejournal.com profile] green_queen: This is my VERY LONG (about 5000 words) and incredibly detailed account of 'An Evening with Peter Jackson,' March 12th 2005.

  • 2005-03-13: shaychana: batman
    [livejournal.com profile] shaychana: batman fascinates me. the batverse mythology is so shockingly dark, that i'm amazed that anyone ever thought it suitable material for children. the batverse is a morass of dubious morality: batman's original motivation for donning the batsuit is not a heroic one by any stretch of the imagination

  • 2005-03-12: halegirl: Fan fiction quality: Songfic, Mpreg, etc.
    [livejournal.com profile] halegirl: What is the ideal fan fiction? What is quality fan fiction? Why ask this question?

  • 2005-03-12: ishtar79:[Harry Potter discussion]
    [livejournal.com profile] ishtar79: So, a question to all of you: what’s your biggest fear when it comes to HPB? Is it a shipping thing? A character death thing? Or simply Grawp making yet another extended appearance?
