laura_shapiro: Representing Vidding to the Wider World: Suggestions Needed - Please do contribute your suggestions! Please do suggest your own vids! I look to you all to keep me honest, and to help me do right by our community. -
- partlybouncy: ICANN, RegisterFly and domain names - RegisterFly, a domain registrar, went kablooey. It first became public around late January, early February 2007. This event caused something like around 990,000 domain names to be put into jeopardy. ... A lot of fan sites are hosted on their own domains. -
- telesilla: Meta: "It's an exhibition not a competition, please no wagering." - There in a nutshell is the reason that, professional oversight or not, I think that tie-ins inevitably leave me unsatisfied and are, therefore, inferior to fanfic. Tie-ins, by their very nature, are exercises in stagnation; ultimately, nothing really impo -
- cathexys: essay posted at thecuttingboard - I think good meta should probably do both: not exclude the person who doesn't breathe Lacan and Derrida while still reminding those that do of why these theorists might be applied even to this topic. -

- shusu: LJ: to simplify to squicks - Here is my one, non-fact-based premise: it's not the wank, it's the reaction to the wank, and the perception that so many blogs, instead of addressing the issue, are expending energy beating a straw man. -
- vee_fic: Notes on the Supernatural Underclass, Part 4 - As part of talking frankly about social clas, I thought I'd throw out a couple of standard underclass myths, stereotypes, wrongheaded assumptions, and I'd be pleased to get additions in comments. -
- liviapenn: The nymph's reply to the goddamn shepherd - In case anyone heard someone shouting at about 4am last night "NO IT ISN"T!" -- sorry. That was me, stumbling across the "Fanfiction is illegal (and even if it isn't it's immoral) (and even if it isn't, I don't think it's very good)" argument again. -
- dinpik: Fannish dichotomy, Take Two - Any time you write about anything controversial, people are going to have opinions about it. Moreover, they're going to have opinions about you. Especially if you're writing a controversial topic in a sexually titillating manner. -
- twinenigma: Fangirlism - I call this irrational behavior "Canon Jealousy Syndrome", wherein a fan of a series is envious of a canon character for their proximity to another canon character they like to such an extreme that the fan actually directs aggression towards a fictional c -
- shay_renoylds: Fan Fic: A Sense of Worth - I keep forgetting that fandom is marginalized because we're not trying to make money. Because we're not squirreling our writing away in some creepy tree already heavily filled with dead white men. -
- shaggydogstail: The fanfiction community - What really struck me is that big thing that was missing from this post. Fanfiction has a tremendous advantage over profic in that it is a community activity, a way for fans to interact with each other and, in a way, with the source material. -
- tyrical: Notes on a Scandal - When I write I don't think race. I think story. I think voice. I think what do I want to see happen. Should my writing be more political? Should my writing be more aware? -
- telesilla: "It's an exhibition not a competition, please no wagering." Part Two - In the end I think this argument often tends to come down to the question of what is real writing and what isn't. If someone tells me that what I write isn't publishable and isn't marketable in today's world, I'm not going to be insulted. I know that -
- groaty: pro-fic vs. fanfic: this time it's still really, really stupid! - AND NOW! My two cents. // But really. There isn't a difference in the "artistic value" of fanfic and profic. Leaving aside legal issues and censorship stuff, it's exactly the same thing. People expressing themselves through fiction about other people's cr -
- ceares: Slash Manifesto - 1. Change-I do not embrace change. I don't like it, I don't want it. I accept and understand the need, but I'm not a fan. Sincerely the number one reason I'm a slasher is because it helps maintain the status quo. -
