jadelennox: question about fan fiction genre conventions and sex - Are there as many multi-orgasmic men in m/f as there are in m/m fanfiction?[...]And are there patterns to which fandoms end up full of multi-orgasmic men? -

hmpf: Analysis, emotions, fannishness. - for me, being a fan is primarily about emotional reactions to a source text.[...]However - my way of deciding what it *is* that I'm emotionally reacting to, i.e. my way of watching, decoding, making sense of a text - now *that* is analytical. -

misscam: On the loving of females - with blahblah about life and fandom - It is in fact possible to like two women on a show, even if they are quite different. No, really. It is possible to appreciate more than one kind of personality. It is possible to think two women are quite smashing, both of them -

apple_pi: Homophones: Not just for the nice boys next door, anymore - Here are a few pairs that I see mixed up regularly, with their definitions (off-the-cuff, not Webster's) and examples of correct usage. I'd love to see your own favorite examples of misused homophone pairs. -

lyras: Editing versus drafting - Somewhere in the LJ sea over the past few days, I was linked to a post asking whether people preferred writing (ie drafting) or editing. Can't remember the location of the post or the identity of the poster, so you lot get my ramblings instead. -

luckybrans: it just never get's old, does it - My new thing is reading Sylar/Mohinder from Heroes. The amount of time Mohinder has been referred to as "the Indian" is mind-boggling. Before anyone jumps on me about motives, I don't think the writers are being racists, just idiots. -
