lunacy: the irresponsibility of screams and moans - irresponsibility as a valid, intrinsic source of pleasure, and not just of works dealing with the 'naughty', 'bad' or controversial subject-matter, but of all artworks. -
- mskatej: LJ-versary Number Two - It doesn't take long to get jaded in fandom. When the realisation hits that you're part of a community full of real live people, none of whom are perfect, many of whom are crazy, the honeymoon ends and the reality sinks in.//But the reality is ultimately more fulfilling than the illusion -
- azurelunatic: Standing II: for life - If the majority of my fandom friends up and left LJ, I think I'd still be here. I'm not here for the fandom. I'm not here for the silly memes. I'm here because I've been here since 2001, I have a whole lot of journal entries and interaction here -
- aris_writing: [meta] Reliable. - It was at this point that I realized I have a hard time mistrusting narrators.//It could be of course that I'm just terribly gullible. But I think it's more of a willingness to put my disbelief completely in an author's hands -
- morgandawn: Fannish Policing: When To Bring In The "Authorities"* - Since there are hundreds of reasons for fans to bring in outside authorities (and many more definitions of what an 'authority'* is), I've narrowed this down to one example. [POLL] -
- schemingreader: Single-sex societies in science fiction and slash - Perhaps it's sexism fatigue that produces fantasies of the egalitarian single-sex society, and to some degree, perhaps, the "everyone is gay, so what" slash stories. -
- burakkupansa: Your Score: hyphen - So many people have said they're not in the mood to buy a perm account since the Strikethrough that putting charity on the top is like throwing sand at water. It's not relevant. -
- eye_of_a_cat: On behalf of the Thought Police... - what troubles me isn't content, but presentation.(1) If the story presents something repellent as desirable or titillating, or if the story presents something desirable or titillating as repellent, I do have a problem with it. -
- black_castle: [in fanficrants] Body Image, the Media, and the Ultimate Impact on Fanfiction - This rant isn't about a fanfic, it is about the impact that the media has on our ideals of beauty, and the ideals of those who write the characters we lovingly base our fics off of. -
