  • [livejournal.com profile] telesilla: Meta/Rant: It's like deja vu all over again! - ...FanLib.//Here's the deal. While I don't mind the increasing public light being brought to bear on fanfiction, I do strongly object to people who aren't fandom making money off it. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] pellucid: on rewatching things - this reaction has got me thinking about rewatching in general, and particularly rewatching very early episodes when the characters are young and unknowning.

  • [livejournal.com profile] cofax7: I've got some thoughts about fandom and - Fanlib is not a community thing: it is a money-making enterprise.[...]The other issue is who, exactly, is making money off this? It's not the fans. And it's not the owners of the copyright being infringed all across the site -

  • [livejournal.com profile] almostnever: fanlib - This is the reason I have been involved recently in arguments about whether our community should accept the monetization of fan fiction. Because I think it's coming whether we accept it or not, and I'd rather it was fan-creators getting the benefit of the -

  • [livejournal.com profile] katilara: Rape in Yaoiland - In some districts of yaoiland apparently, rape = love.[...]I've come to recognize that there is a huge difference between m/m love in fandom, and the actual literary sub-genre of yaoi. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] liviapenn: Hold a mirror up to life - you can sort of dismiss their concerns on that account-- the fact that a lot of the critics of this figure aren't hardcore comics fans[...]but I almost think that's why it's so significant -

  • [livejournal.com profile] brown_betty: Why the MJ kerfuffle matters: (probably not why you think) - These are people who, if Marvel had played their cards right, might have been setting up pull boxes in a year or two.//Marvel: this is what you look like to people who are browsing the windows trying to decide if they want to come in. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] wemyss: An Essay: Canon, Canon-Plausibility, and Deduction - one finds a remarkably clear and distinct line between fanfic that is plausible in relation to canon, and fanfic that is not, and one can derive certain principles by which to distinguish the two â“ in advance, actually -

  • [livejournal.com profile] nevacaruso: Musings. (Like that pun's never been used before.) - At some point over the weekend, wired_lizard and I were trying to explain the concept of âœmusesâ - in the fanfiction sense - to two fan-folk who were unfamiliar with the phenomenon -

  • [livejournal.com profile] narration_girl: Introductions - This journal is platform for my postgraduate dissertation on (meta)narratives in online fandom. I will post research and questions here, partly because I want to keep a history of my own progress, and also I want to create discussion -

  • [livejournal.com profile] anotherusedpage: Inspiration - All the feminist debate sparked by Why Fanfiction Makes Us Poor unsurprisingly inspired me to get thinking about the nature of derivative fiction, and why it is that I write it, and read it, and enjoy it in all its many forms, and what implications this h -
  • [livejournal.com profile] trascendenza: Poll: Who's got the dibs on user-friendly and what are your six essential fanfic header elements? - If you ruled fandom and there were six things and no more that you could make every writer put in their header information, what would they be? [POLL] -
  • [livejournal.com profile] shay_renoylds: Slash: Lack of Entitlement and the Fannish Impulse - While I understand the inherent need for most fen to hide their own interest in slash (especially with regards to incest) in front of the actors but I don't understand how when other people don't have that impulse it's 'selfish'. -
