oceana_: Back with a little rant 90% of fandom seems to be unable to have a reasonable discussion about any fannish subject, especially a delicate one like incest fic. I don't mean people flaming the writer, no, I mean the simple process of reading an essay, understanding it and reacting to the arguments made within.

annwyd: blargh, fandom. I think there should be a category of fanfic known as "kinkfic." It would include all those rapefics where the victims inexplicably fail to fight back even though, in canon, they'd be quite capable of tearing their attacker to shreds or at least putting up a damn good try of it. It would include all those incestfics where siblings who have previously related just fine as siblings suddenly jump into bed together and suffer no consequences from it.

shetiger: On fic exchanges- Most fic exchanges ask that you write a story that's a minimum of 1000 words (sometimes only 500). But how pressured do you feel to write something more than that? Do you feel disappointed if the fic you receive is just barely over that minimum?

emmagrant01: Are you in the closet? Some comments on my post yesterday about slashdar made me wonder to what extent folks in fandom are generally out about being in fandom and about being slashers. [poll]

bethbethbeth: How did you discover Fandom? I discovered SF/F fandom first, and then media fandom afterwards - and up until now, I sort of thought that was the normal way to find fandom...the solitary quest route. But maybe I'm wrong...what about you guys: did you find fandom by yourselves or did somebody yank you in after them?

nakeisha: Slash on American TV I don't, apart from my pairings, see slash every where, and even with my pairings I'm not actually sitting there specifically looking for a slash interaction and trying to make one out of nothing. // However . . . [NCIS, House]

seraphcelene: 53 Shopping Days Left Until Xmas I find it vastly disconcerting to see marketing that implies, what I see, as a regression, a movement away from action and back into passive gender models. Not that there's anything wrong with home and hearth. Not at all. My mom stayed home until I was maybe eight or nine years old. But, seeing characters that function outside of traditional gender codes of behavior recast into a traditional model is just wrong and disturbing. [Buffy, Heroes]
