alixtii: Because I Couldn't Help Myself - never assume that Joss Whedon doesn't know what he's doing when he is using language. He made a statement about how he saw the comics. He never, ever told us as fen whether we should consider them to be canon. -

fanficrants: Research is NOT your friend today. - I appreciate that you do a lot of research for your story. IMHO it's almost the one thing you've ever actually done right. But for the love of green shoes, you don't have to regurgitate every single crazy-ass little scrap of info you find. Not all at once -
- chopchica: Okay, I'm still trying to get the logic - Even more baffling to me is when people rant about 'fannish entitlement' without seeing the own inherent demand for entitlement in their own behavior. -
- ithiliana: Manipulate Me!1!, Babeeeee! - My take is: language is manipulation! We say/write things to get a response (we don't always get the response we want but that doesn't mean we're not trying to manipulate our environment through the tool of language.) -
- lannamichaels: [Meta] Thoughts on race and figure skating... - I only slash skaters I'm a fan of. [...]So...look, I know I'm not perfect. And it's more than a little worrisome to wonder if my racism is showing itself in my choices of who I slash. -
- astolat: writing advice - So, about rules: if you are even bothering to read this, chances are that you are past the point where following mechanical rules is going to do you any good. There IS such a point, don't get me wrong ... -
- veradee: Starry Stories - Obviously, ratings always are subjective, but there is a certain minimum standard all fics should fulfil to earn a high rating, and in my opinion, this is not the case with all the fics that receive high ratings. -
- hector_rashbaum: Things I've Learned About Reviewing - Things I've learned about reviewing, a basic list followed by more in-depth explanations that probably get increasingly babbley -

- calapine: Dealing with race in New Who - So why this sudden desire not to acknowledge the social realities of the times? ... Does RTD not believe he can handle the subject in an effective way? Or have the scriptwriters all been drugged by whoever was writing Robin Hood? -
- yourlibrarian: Becoming a fan - What did make a difference is the fact that people's posts about it kept reminding me of it whereas otherwise it would just be another vague name on a TV schedule. -
- princessofg: "This Dratted Thing" by Louisa Ellen Stein - From the interplay among fan culture, genre discourse, and new media interfaces, fan-created fiction and art are born. The histories and traditions of fan fiction intersect with broader cultural (generic) discourses as fandom moves online. -
- hth_the_first: things that i have learned about rants - If you ever find yourself thinking that it will make you feel better to rant about whatever it is that upsets you, may I humbly suggest to you that, in fact, it could easily make you feel worse -- because of the real people you realize you have now hurt -
- groaty: note to self: pocket cup [/bob fossil]. - cesperanza finishes literally everything she starts. Which made me GAPE LIKE A DYING FISH. // Wow. I mean, holy wowcakes, Batman. If I finished everything I started, I'd have written a whole hell of a lot. -
- xanphibian: fic rant - If I see one more fic where someone's nipples are chewed, I think I will scream. // I mean, really, chew? Like that poor nipple is a wad of gum? -
