jaina47: Fan Fiction, Fandom and Going Mainstream - Fandom and fan fiction is growing larger than it ever has before. With growth comes presence and with presence it becomes less and less possible for the mainstream to ignore the presence of fandom. -- katleaf: Random Meta re: the recent LJ debacle - I don't believe that fandom is a specific place where someone can be either kept in or out. Sure, certain stories might be excluded from archives or fansites - but that doesn't keep someone from writing in the fandom and publishing on their own website. -
- duskpeterson: [in eternaldungeon] Fandom-based LJs that are still suspended - One week after LiveJournal promised that all suspended fandom LJs and all fiction LJs would be restored, the following fandom-based LJs remain suspended. -
- fandrogyny: from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe: more Strikethrough 07 thoughts - women will never truly have the freedoms they want online -- the freedom to decide policy, to speak openly, to gather -- until they can personally re-structure the Internet.[...]we need to teach our daughters not only "netiquette," but how to build server -
- p_zeitgeist: But, why are y'all assuming that getting rid of fic would be good for an IPO? - I have to wonder, because it seems to me that a damned good argument can be made that getting rid of fandom would be ghastly for that projected IPO. -

worldserpent: Nostalgia for blogland - Apropos of the recent events, I began to feel nostalgia for the days when we all had blogs. Okay, maybe not all of us, but some of us. -- ellen_fremedon: Fetishizing the Real - It privileges naturalistic psychological realism over other narrative modes. It implies that one cannot be honest, respectful, and responsible in fairy tale, allegory, gothic horror, any non-realistic genre (including, needless to say, erotic fantasy.) -
- khellekson: Turning the tables on the object of study - But ridiculous as it is, I guess we're stuck with it: academics who work with Renaissance texts don't have to waste time explaining themselves, but we do. -
- venefica_aura: [in ff_epicfic] Discussion Post: OC Narration - I am curious as to what your automatic thoughts are when using an OC to narrate. -
- bottle_of_shine: it's like my brain never shuts off - The current moral dilemma of the day is the fact that I'm a thief. I basically will read fic and from that fic I will get ideas based on the premise of what I read. Sometimes I get a few or sometimes I get a lot; it depends. The question is: do I write it -
- owlmoose: Fanfic, ownership, and metaficcing - It seems to me entirely natural that those of us who write fanfic would get story ideas from reading other people's fic. Because isn't that the whole reason for the existence of fanfic? -
- thelastgoodname: On the Fandom-Art continuum - I've seen the argument made divers places that art is somehow divergent from fandom,[...] and several things about it never made much sense to me.//At the most basic level, I don't think that word means what you think it means. -
- hesychasm: for the record - Now, if my privileging of fictional goals over potential realistic consequences leads you to the conclusion that I don't think about those consequences seriously enough, then it seems to me that we have a fundamental difference of worldview. -
- emmuzka: Fandom should never be afraid of offending the soccer mom - responsible fanfic by heatherly. [...].//I thought it was bullshit. A child wellfare professional has no more power to write about the issue of abuse in fanfiction than rest of us mortals. -
- melusinahp: Writing "responsible" fan fiction - Haven't women spent enough time feel ashamed about their sexuality, feeling that they have to clean it up for public approval, make it pretty and nice, submissive to the mainstream, unthreatening? -
- lyras: The spoiler trolls are at it again already - Avoiding spoilers: a quick guide. -
- betrue: Fan art and Manipping - I was surprised at the extent to which fen do not consider manipping to be fan art at all! With 450 respondents, more than half think manips are not fan art. Damn, y'all! -
- cathexys: [in vidding] Linking to Imeem? - I have a quick question to the vidders who put their material up on Imeem: Do you feel your material is now public and can be linked from anywhere? -
- mecurtin: Blogcomment record: Gender and Fan Studies 2a
Dear fandom: is this too public a venue in which to link to something on imeem, do you think?
