screwthedaisies: The FanLib "value proposition" - My biggest issue...) with FanLib has been the fact that they've...well, they've reinvented the wheel, haven't they? Worse: sometimes they come across like they, er, actually invented it. -
- vee_fic: One of the funny things about going to W - Wouldn't it be cool if the science fiction crowd and the media fandom crowd acknowledged their overlap on a regular basis? I tend to suspect that a lot of ficcers, like me, started out as SF geeks and moved into fanfic because that seemed to be where all -
- fabu: You see what you want to see. . . - Sometimes we forget that it's not only the events in canon that are subjective and open to interpretation, but also those in fandom. Each of us has a unique perspective, shaped by the fannish circles of influence (tm cathexys) that we find ourselves in -
- fandom_me: This is a very simple post. I feel a bit - Fanfiction is a hobby that we engage in for fun, but it's important to remember that when you post your story you're asking people to come read it and to tell you what they thought of it. -

- miera_c: The Fanlib saga cont'd.
So, what basically this says is at the very least one person (me) was warning them that their approach was not going to work well over two months ago, and yet, the disaster unfolded anyway. *shrugs*
- arallara: Favorite facial expressions?
I've been thinking a lot lately about the facial expressions that I love so much on some of my favorite characters--the ones that seem really expressive of an important characterization note, maybe.
- teh_no: A Brother's Guide To Writing Brothers In Fanfic - Anyone hear about the guy who basically reviewed Harry Potter fanfic for gay sex consistency? [...]Well, I can do the exact same thing, only for brothers! And for... not... gay sex. -
- midnightbex: My two cents on Fanlib as a fanfic reader - 'm not predominately a fanfic writer, I'm a fanfic reader.//From that perspective, what does fanlib have to offer me? A 'centralized' location for all my fanfic needs? ...not really. My fanfic needs aren't a simple thing to meet. -
