General

[livejournal.com profile] foxxcub - Untitled - I guess I missed the memo that alerted me to this being Slash Meta Day.

[livejournal.com profile] odannygirl7 - Thoughts on lots of things... - It seems totally odd to me that one would know next to nothing about the source text of a book/movie/show, but read the fic of that book/movie/show anyway.

[livejournal.com profile] firescribble - Let's be rebels! And pirates! - Every now and then someone asks the big question: Is slash subversive?

[livejournal.com profile] ayiana2 - Story headings or How Many Ways Can You Pin the Tail on the Donkey? - The header information for the drabble I posted today is 40 words. That's the header! The entire drabble is only 100 words, so the header's almost half as long at the story. I find this highly amusing for some reason, but more to the point, when I was doing the header I was struck by how many distinct pieces of header information are floating around fandom.

[livejournal.com profile] _sharvie_ - The Meta Life - I've finally, finally filtered out the community that was linking to all the 'fun' meta. But I found myself in between stories and curiously went to check it out.

[livejournal.com profile] phantomas - Fandom Meta: To be or not to be..slash, gay, queer... - I support the notion that slash is not gay, but I'd like to clarify that slash can be gay, and gay can be slash.

On Creating and Criticism

[livejournal.com profile] cereta - Slash and Audience, or Not a Terminology Discussion, I Promise - The thing is, mostly, we've already done the justifying/explaining/etc before we ever start a story. Because, you see, we are already watching/reading the source through slash-colored glasses.

Polls, Questions, Other

[livejournal.com profile] hermionesviolin - almost time to go home - When you read a remix, do you read the original first?
