General
celisnebula - How to find the right archive for your stuff. - My suggestion is to wander around, get to know the people who run (or in the case of ffnet let the animals run free) the archive and to read what is posted there before you decide what to do. Don’t be upset or offended if the archive doesn’t particularly want you or your writing style.

docmichelle - A relationship in search of a defining term - The positive relationships we recognize (and I mean positive as in opposite of enemy, antagonist, nemesis) are either friend, family, or lover. Yet it seems to me a lot of the relationships that I want to be fannish about are some combination of all three that is both more and less than any one of the three.

monimala - Rant/Essay: Please don't feed the animals! - And now...whether it's Logan/Veronica or Jason/Sam or what-have-you, fans just seem to think a show is about their couple, that every plot, every road, needs to lead back to their OTP.

elynross - Slash undercover - But what [Susie Bright] writes in this column about slash and what it says about women's fantasies is interesting.

thelana in brotherslash - Genetic Sexual Attraction and Westermarck: A justification for (some) incest fic? - I recently did some research on incest for a friend and I thought it might be useful to share my findings on this particular subject. This is not meant to be a serious psychological elaboration on real life incest.

On Creating and Criticism
pir8fancier - It's My Epiphany and I'll Shout If I Want To - Why women write slash. Because long pointy things feel really good when you stick them in holes. *WHAT* holes are inconsequential.

penknife - On apologizing for stories and self-criticism - Believing that everything you write is crap can be just as damaging as believing that everything you write is a work of staggering genius.

seemag - It's all Lizbee's fault! - lizbee and I were discussing fandom kerfuffles this evening, and as we went through the usual arguments, we realized the single truth: all kerfuffles eventually start with and lead back to the pressing issue of feedback.
