cschick: Fan Fiction, Copyright, and Licensing - One of the things that has always disturbed me about Fanfiction.net is that its default interface is via most recently posted or updated fiction. This gives the new fiction higher importance than old fiction. LiveJournal interfaces are the same way, -
- devildoll: It's just like Oz, but without the orange jumpsuits. - How fandom is like prison: -
- wemyss: Hobbies, FE, the Five Senses, and Writing - A remarkable number of writers in this fandom â“ excellent writers, writers who are by common consent better writers than am I â“ would seem, if one read only their fiction, to live lives of sensory deprivation. -
- laguera25: On Writing Responsibly - Why is the majority of the fannish onus placed upon the writers? Why do the readers have no responsibility? Why are writers so beholden to spoiler warnings and content warnings, while readers' only obligation is to click the link provided? -
- dhae_knight: The whole fanfic-thing, as I see it. - in all this kerfuffle, people in fandom has largely forgotten that fic is entertainment It's entertainment the same way Lolita (which I hate, and thus, don't read) is entertainment. Or Red Dragon. Or American Psycho. -
- niannah: A Very Long Post about the recent Audio Recording Shenanigans - I've[...]yet to come up with a satisfactory reason why people who don't bat an eyelid at those who download Supernatural every week get so enraged by people who post audio clips and photographs of a play -
- morgandawn: How Would *You* License Your Fic/Vids - If you were to license your fic and/or your vids under the Creative Commons License, which would you pick -
- hieronymousb: keeping it "real" - by and large fandom is a ridiculously polite place. Sometimes I think we forget that we have the right to offend. I have the right to write a story that offends you. And you have the right to go bitch in your journal. -
- firefly99: Mangled Gender Suefest - The Twin Sues - We're getting to the stage where the words Mary Sue lose all meaning, and are now just ways of saying 'I hate this female character'. -
- kitzen_kat: Late to the Party - Have you joined a fandom after the show has been running for a few years, the author has already written 20 books in the seires, or a long time after the films were made? -
- termagantwrites: Fandom Pet Peeves, Part 45978: - One of the few things I find universally jarring in fiction is when a story told from the perspective of a particular character uses the wrong name(s) for other character(s) in the story. -
- redscharlach: Retail therapy for the fandom soul - Fannovations: The exclusive catalogue for your fandom life -
- musesfool: i will make you a weapon - one of the many things that still baffles me is this: people who tell you they are reading a story of yours, or are going to read it right now[...]and then never ever come back and tell you what they thought. -
