janissa11: Some elaboration on the showing idea. - Telling, as a literary choice, has its place. I'm pretty sure very few truly good stories are completely lacking in telling moments; it's handy for descriptive passages, and for more introverted, internal monologues.... -
severity_softly: Underage commeters and the writers responsibility... (or, Severity obsesses again) - You receive a comment on a clearly adult/NWS/NC-17 fic/art from someone whose user info clearly states they are under 18. What do you do? [POLL] -
xanphibian: rimming. and more rimming. - Do you write rimming? Do you make sure the rimmee is clean first? ... And why is there so little assplay in het fic?... Plz rite rimjobs in ur hetfic k? thnx. -

If we excluded texts that were imperfect ..., we'd be left with nothing. But that doesn't mean that I don't feel an ethical obligation to push to make things better. -
nemesister: The art of stating the obvious with as many words as possible - A fanfic is a piece of fiction, written by a fan for fans. It doesn't matter how many fans. ... You can enjoy Bridget Jones without reading Pride and Prejudice first, which is why it's not a fanfic and nothing like a fanfic. -
