mip_fic: Justin Timberlake, Cumulative Advantages and Fandom (no, not bandslash) - And this is what the article terms 'cumulative advantage' - there has been a general consensus reached as to the popularity of something, or rather, it's potential to be popular - basically it is assigned a value of this is good. So, something that is genuinely crap will not generally reach this point, unless it is something that appeals to people. -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fanficrants: Hey, if you're so attached to a specific - "I know it's OOC but I need it to be for the plot to work" is not a good excuse. // Please stop using it. -- cupidsbow: Remix 07 Discussion - Last year I opened my journal up for a discussion of the remix, mainly because I'd felt so frustrated at not finding a way to take an imaginative leap with the story I wrote.

- shaggydogstail: On reviewing - We love it when people read our stories. We love it even more when they take the time to leave feedback. And yes, we most of us love some types of feedback even more than others, but why the hell woul -
- synecdochic: [writing] Plot Is Not A Four Letter Word - Judging by the responses I've been getting from you guys, "plot" is a four-letter word. And if you look at it from one direction, I totally agree -- but if you look at it from the other, I couldn't disagree more. -
- xanphibian: reading writing meta meta - I've read so much writing meta ...that didn't focus on style or prose or word choice. If vid meta can focus on color, movement, mood, length of clips, editing clips, editing music, and give discussion on Big Emotion, why can't we do the same for writing? -
