thecaelum: Thinking more on the subject of racism and fandom - So how do we get to the absorbing information and working to fix the problem part? Start with this. There are misunderstandings happening on both sides of the discussion, but they don't have to derail it. -- aka_arduinna: del.icio.us 101
If you're reading this and wondering what all the del.icio.us fuss is about, here's very fast overview, before I get into the tutorial part. - almostnever: this was supposed to be a short followup... - One of the things I love about fan fiction is the sense of camaraderie. Even if you don't get involved with the fan fiction community, just by lurking and reading, you can feel a kind of bonhomie with your fellow fans -
- dknightshade: Thinking Vs Listening Vs Watching - Do you find writing to be most like (pick the one that fits the best): [POLL] -
- sl_podcast: Evil fanfic... - Fanfic is not something that should be considered evil, wrong or be prosecuted by authors. Fanfic should be celebrated. If you have a fanfic written about your original work, it's a response that someone cared enough to write. -
- vee_fic: Sidebar on Supernatural Underclass notes - This entry turned out to be all technique and not very much general cultural analysis... Still, it's related material, and while criminality and poverty aren't the same thing, both thing show up in the Winchester makeup. -
- minisinoo: ... yet another entry in the fanfic-profic debate ... - Leave the name behind, and the professional packaging ... can I make it again? ... Fanfic may come with a built-in audience, but it can also be demanding in a different way. -
- logophilos: How slash happens, Part 2 - or, why can't a woman be more like a man? - When we no longer see the automatic equivalence of sexual active woman==slut==bad person, slash will still happen - but not because the men just look interesting by contrast with lousily written female characters. I for one, can't wait. -
- sparkindarkness: Gays and the Media - Belovedâ™s point: gays in the media is nearly always a good thing. [...] // Me: Iâ™ll be happier when the media lets gay people be people first and interesting freaks second, if at all. -
- logophilos: Just one look - One of the big differences I've noticed between gay writing and slash writing is the emphasis in the former on appearance. You will get a full description as soon as you meet any character - depending on the story, you might get cock length and thickness -
- logophilos: Character description and POV fidelity in fiction writing - I thought I would share my ideas about character description and descriptive techniques when trying to remain within a limited POV. -
- beccaelizabeth: Mindreading, genre and sonnets - Figuring out what an audience wants involves mind reading. I don't know about the rest of the universe but this model human does not come with that feature. -
- dodger_winslow: Meta: Profic versus Fanfic ... Like I'm Not Going to Speak to This - So in the interest of fair play to writing as an art form rather than a car payment put to the bank, let me say there's really only one person who has to be satisfied with any piece of writing, and that's the writer. -
