executrix 2005-04-22: executrix: Equality; Apologia Pro Fandoms Suae: I think that no matter how many concurrent or subsequent fandoms one has, the first fandom has all kinds of Jus Primae Noctae mojo, and that imprint never goes away. So one of the first things I disagreed with was one of the first bits of meta I ever read: the Lamb-Veith theory that women slash because we want the kind of equal relationships that we can't find in het.
minisinoo 2005-04-23: minisinoo: Issues in Style: Sentence Length & Format [4/14/2002]: In my own opinion, stylistic tricks should always serve the story, not dominate it. When a story becomes just the vehicle for a display of authorial narrative brilliance, then it descends into chilly tedium.
permetaform 2005-04-23: permetaform: RE: muses: [Poll&Discussion] Also, could this be at all culturally motivated? ie. more of an emphasis from western cultures who have a tradition (from the Greeks) of muses? OR could it be more prominent from cultures who do not like to accept the idea that inspiration/creativitiy/intelligence comes from oneself? (versus a higher being? or an alternate being?)
sweetestdrain 2005-04-22: sweetestdrain: The Soul of a Vid: As someone watches vids more and more, through either curiosity or lifestyle choice, I believe they begin to develop certain criteria for judging them. They gain the ability - if they didn't have it from day one, of course - to think This vid is better than this other vid.
ataniell93 2005-04-23: ataniell93: Dr Strangepr0n, or How I Stopped Worrying And Learnt to Love Teh Chan: Somehow, when I wasn’t looking, I ended up becoming a chan writer. Or something like that. It wasn’t exactly what I’d planned. It just happened. Well, except that I’ve always been doing it.
dirty_diana 2005-04-22: dirty_diana: on the bus today i thought about...[SG-1, DS, BSG]: On the bus today I thought about woobies, and writing, and writing woobies. I even wrote some of it down. And then I thought about doing actual work, and then I thought about woobies some more.
alixtii 2005-04-24: fanthropology:: It's seems to me that fandom is a sort of Wonderland/Looking-glass land and the Red Queen's point is well-made. How often do we assume that the meaningfulness of our terms rest on our ability to define them?
fiona64 2005-04-23: fanthropology: Thoughts on "Who's a 'Bigger' Fan": I can't help wondering if it isn't the fans themselves who sometimes promote the idea that there are certain "must-do" things in order to be considered a "real fan" of something.
halegirl 2005-04-24: halegirl: Fan fiction statistics revisted: So I wanted to compare... I ran a Independent Sample T Test. It found no relationship between the LiveJournal users and FanDomination.Net users. What this basically means is that I have two seperate sample populations that are not part of the same greater population.
elke_tanzer 2005-04-23: elke_tanzer: Elke babbles about fandom infrastructure.: Here's Elke's thoughts on fandom infrastructure that I feel is needed, for any fandom. I don't IM, I don't chat, I don't RPG, I'm a child of the internet, and LJ is my sonic screwdriver of choice (as compared to mailing lists, discussion boards, snail-mail networks, etc).

Fandom Specific
regala_electra 2005-04-19: regala_electra: In Defense of Mssr. Moony: Lupin's Future [HP] : I should warn that I’m going to make reference to the covers of the sixth book and a mild spoiler about the DADA position, so if you’re especially spoilerphobic, do not read those parts.

hp_essays 2005-04-23: hp_essays: Summary #13, March 18th - April 23rd, 2005:
_cantstandmenow 2005-04-23: _cantstandmenow: Well.: [Poll]The subject of this one is, in the words of [info]emeraldserpent, HP Fandom Politics. Or, in other words, random questions that have come to my mind over the last year and I'm finally tossing out to you all for opinions. *loser*
shaychana 2005-04-24: shaychana: metatext, metaphor, meta: Basically, a strong theme in HP is prejudice, which leads to all sorts of interesting metaphorical readings of her story, particularly so the non-human beings, at least to me. I'd always thought the HP story was metaphorically about race.
nostalgia_lj 2005-04-23: nostalgia_lj: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? [DR WHO]: For own ease of reference - LJ Memories category - 'Bad Wolf'
taraljc 2005-04-23: taraljc: on Dr Who [spoilers]: This pattern of behaviour echoes the Doctor's own desire to use the power he has as a Time Lord to help people, rather than merely observing and recording. But also to actually experience life, instead of merely witnessing it. It's that thirst for adventure that defines both the Doctor and Rose, in that respect.
aycheb 2005-04-11: aycheb: Rewind it! [BTVS]: I think in moral terms The Gift is more of an invitation to ask the right questions than an argument about the ethical validity of competing answers.
