makesmewannadie 2005-04-15: makesmewannadie: The new new shiny and the evolution of fandom : But a discussion on fca-l has me thinking about the nature of blogging - and LiveJournal particularly - even more.
luthien67 2005-04-16: luthien67: Fandom and LJ: a personal perspective: LJ really is fandom for me now. It feels as though all the phases of my fannish existence have gravitated here. There are one or two things I miss about lists, but overall I'm much more comfortable here.
thelastgoodname 2005-03-29: thelastgoodname: On "queer het," nominalism, and paleonymy : About bent: queer obviously means different things to different people, and queer does have a particular paleonymy (cultural history of a word; literally "ancient naming") that requires addressing; bent does too, but a different history. It is possible to re-envision and recontextualize certain words given new contexts.
profshallowness 2005-04-16: profshallowness: Bringing you three meta-y things on a Saturday morn: I'm reacting here to this discussion of closure in the literary sense, and particularly in the context of introducing hypertext. Reading it, of course made me apply what was said to fanfiction in relation to source text? Although for most readers, the idea of fanfiction is pretty clearly as derivative to the source text, we've all seen the squeeful 'I prefer this version to canon!'

coffee_and_ink 2005-04-16: coffee_and_ink: [Manga] Openings: Kazuya Minekura, Saiyuki (1/3) : This was going to be part two of the analysis of memory and the flow of time in manga, but then I looked at the pages I'd picked out, and it's ... not. Maybe I'll talk more about memory and time later, but for now I'm just going to offer a close reading of six pages from Kazuya Minekura's Saiyuki.

twinkledru Gunn, Buffy and self-destructiveness.: Some thoughts on Buffy, Gunn, and their self-destructive tendencies. Gunn and Buffy are both willing to protect the people they love at all costs. They can also, going with this instinct, border on self-destructive. In fact, they're a lot more willing to sacrifice themselves than they are anyone else. [BTVS/ATS]

t0ra_chan in hp_essays On JKR and making mistakes: This is something that has been bothering me for a while. JKR seems to be often incapable to admit to having made mistakes, at least she often pins the faults to certain characters when it's possible.

stewardess_lotr 2005-04-16: stewardess_lotr: At last, a convincing reason to friends lock every: At first, this may sound no different from what google and other search engines do. But it is. Search engines cache your content, but they do not claim ownership of it, and do not present it through their own interface as if it was their own. Most search engines also allow you to opt out. What does this mean? If you edit, friends lock, or delete an entry later, too bad: Bloglines already has it and will continue to provide it. You just lost control of your content.
harriet_spy 2005-04-17: harriet_spy: RSS, Bloglines, LJ, and you. And possibly Xanax. : Now, though RSS aggregators and aggregation services are nothing new, the inner mechanics of the Bloglines service are not perfectly transparent, so this part of my post is subject to correction. However, from looking at their about page and their Terms of Service, it seems unlikely to me that they are--with the possible exception of their ClipBlog feature--routinely storing full feeds on their servers indefinitely.
savageseraph 2005-04-17: savageseraph: My Thoughts on Bloglines...: For those of you scratching your heads and wondering what I'm going on about, Bloglines is a service that filters through Livejournal's RSS feed of all its journals (which happens about once an hour from what I've read) and collects posts that might be of interest to subscribers. However, unlike services that do the same and link back to your journal and the entry in question, Bloglines archives your content in its own database. The link it provides is to its database, not to your journal.
