larilee: Attention Slash Writers and Readers... - Perhaps I am wrong, but what's the difference between bradhicks linking all slash to pedophiles and the Religious Right declaring all homosexuals are pedophiles? Both demonize gays or gay sympathizers as child molesters. And it's simply not true. -
robin_anne_reid: [in fandebate] Gender and Fan Studies Round Three (Robin Anne Reid and Sean Griffin) - I read the first two conversations in this series, and very much get the sense that a big fulcrum in the current debate is over the hierarchy of fan activity[...]and how gender politics factors into this sense of hierarchy. -
st_crispins: FanLib: What it's really about. - It's sort of like trading with the natives: shiny beads for Manhattan island.//This is a land grab, folks, pure and simple.//And I must admit, while I'm appalled as a fanfic writer, the academic in me is utterly fascinated. -

angiepen: [in life_wo_fanlib] Deadlines, Ideas and Screenwriting - The people involved in this project, the ones at the top especially, have their own ideas they want to see made. They have no incentive to give up that creative opportunity. Heck, I wouldn't give it up if I had it! Would you? :) -
st_crispins: Further thoughts on FanLib - I could see the guy fans going for the contests while the women fans end up ghettoized in the archive and that does disturb me.[...]Rather than unite the gendered spaces of fandom, FanLib would be creating new ones. -
