seleneheart: How Do You LJ? - It didn't start out as a social site for me . . . I came here for the porn. *g* Specifically, I came here for the fanfic. I was disgusted with ff.net, and LJ seemed to be a great place where lots of fun things were all in one spot. I -

scrollgirl: Why do I do this to myself? - Now and then I'll tell myself, hey! Maybe this time I won't have a reaction when I eat that plum! But no, inevitably my body complains and I have to spit it back out.//There are certain people in fandom whose journals are plums to me. -
heyiya: fandom, gender and knowledge - the 'fangirls' flock and stay anonymous while the 'fanboys' publicize themselves furiously. ... and it seems that the public, male-oriented history is being written without any understanding of the communities created largely by women. -
silver_etoile: Japanese Research Paper - Now, some of you may remember I was working on a research paper, the topic being "Homosexuality in anime and manga." I even bought some manga *gasp* I know. -
synecdochic: Things I Have Learned From Fandom - I run into this a lot. And I finally realized what it is. It's not that I'm Superwoman or anything. It's just that I've been in fandom for a very, very long time, and -- well, you know, fandom gives you some very weird talents. -
