restriction 2005-04-30: restriction: meta: reader appreciation from writers, yes or no?: if i've written something and someone has been nice enough to take a moment to not only read my little contribution, but to then go on and comment on it, i will go out of my way to reply to them - even if it's just a lame 'thanks for commenting!'commordified 2005-04-30: commodorified: bits and pieces: So, sexually explicit fiction. And in fiction, if it doesn't matter, it shouldn't be there. Whatever is in the story has to serve the story, so if there is sex in the story it serves the story too.//So far, all clear. I think. But why do I write that sort of story to start with?laurashapiro 2005-04-29: laurashapiro: What do you call people who aren't fannish/geeky?: [POLL]martinpaling 2005-05-01: doctorwho: Why?: what is it with a lot of DW fans?//why do 50% of all discussions have to end in rants & flames?
kitzen_kat 2005-05-01: kitzen_kat: Emily Post doesn't have a livejournal account ... : What about livejournal? I'm moving on from the old Netiquette points because probably 90% of lj users are used to these. Capslocky posts and comments are mocked, useless or unintended quotes are hampered by the comments process. What I'm thinking of is how lj works with feedback, both for fics and for general requests that the original poster wrote.blackletter 2005-04-29: blackletter: Short essay: Slash and Society : To penetrate is manly; to be penetrated is womanly. The penetrator is powerful, in control, superior; the penetrated is passive, receptive, inferior. Power and control is equated with penetration. I believe the core of this idea has perpetuated to modern times.//Do you see the problem with this?atanielle93 2005-05-01: ataniell93: On how and why I edit posts and beta fic :) (for LW play: 1) The #1 edit that I always make on other people’s writing is this: positively identify the POV character in the first half of the first sentence whenever possible in any piece with a third-person shifting POV. thedeadlyhook 2005-04-29: thedeadlyhook: Strength and Maturity [BtVS]: More BtVS rerun observations in the morning. Tabula Rasasamedamnthing 2005-04-30: samedamnthing: Discussion/Essay on OTPs in general. [HP]: This is an essay/discussion on OTPs and 'shipping in the HP fandom. (But I think it could probably apply to other fandoms with a small amount of stretching, if you really wanted it to.)ryda_wrong 2005-04-30: rydra_wong: The Great Exogamy Arc Theory of Farscape: Meanwhile, literary sf starts asking: can we "marry out"? Instead of "we screw them" or "they screw us" (all metaphorical levels fully intended), can our (sexual) encounter with the Alien/Other be a successful union? Instead of humans being superior (or, we fear, inferior), can we transcend our species (race, gender)? Can our being changed by Them be positive, mutually beneficial/transformative? (And Clute pins it precisely with "exogamy").
