twistedchick: People leave LJ or online participation - People leave LJ or online participation in general in a lot of ways.[...]Someday it will happen to all of us, one way or another.//Before you have to think about that, long before, it would be a good idea for you to think about these issues -
- vee_fic: Bob: the Musical! uh, I mean Manifesto! - Het/slash can continue to mean "basically about a pairing," so that romances and ship-wars get their space. And then, for the things that are not-all-work, and not-all-romance, a new category, not named Bob: mix stories. -
- glossing: comics, time, and writing. other stuff, too. - Yo a very large extent, mainstream comics are innately derivative works. In other words, they're authorized fanfic (broadly defined, of course). The characters and settings were established decades ago, while new stories are still being told. -
- synecdochic: [writing] On the beta process and how to get the most out of it - This is about the beta process: specifically, what techniques I use to make sure I'm getting the absolute best out of my beta editors (and what I use to make sure I'm delivering the best beta possible). -
- synecdochic: [writing] "Show, don't tell": what it really means. - I'm actually an advocate of a third approach entirely: showing by telling. It's kind of a cardinal hallmark of my style, in fact. Let's go with some examples here, both from my own work and from other people's -
- shay_renoylds: Art and Representation: Where does it fit? - ... fandom has its own inherent keys to validation that so many people lose over time -- but it only works inside that community focus. // The art gets lost because the "context" (in this case, many cult programs, books, etc.) is lost just as quickly. -
- mintwitch: Hat, meet ring. - Writers write. Whether one gets paid for writing has more to do with personal finances and non-writing-related skills than deathless prose. People who go around claiming otherwise are nitwits, whichever side of the fence they are on. -
- fandom_me: I feel guilty not just for not producing fic, but for even thinking of writing things not TW or DW related. - I feel like writing those small fandoms when I have things I could be writing in a more active one is somehow irresponsible. I don't have unlimited time to write (who does?). That means picking what to write. -
- audreysmagic: To nom or not to nom...that is the question. - But the thing with a self-nomination is, unless you go around nominating everything you've written to an awards program, it's not really bragging. It's more like saying, "Hey, I thought this particular work of mine was really good and I'd like to bring i -
- zortified: That fic-feedback thing #27 - So I've been browsing various stories posted to LJ and taking (non-scientific) note of what sorts of stories/chapters get tons of feedback, and what doesn't. There are apparent trends, which I find interesting. -
