narahttbbs: Older people in fanfic: the summary post - The threads in my previous post were getting so long that it's hard to keep track of, so I thought I'd write a roundup post in order to summarize some of the ideas that have been going around and hopefully point the way towards further discussion. -
- dracothelizard: WHY thoughts on yaoi? - Heterosexual women write about men getting it on is because it is hot, or fun, or both. -
- jenna_thorn: Its not a metaphor: its a loom. - Why do we keep bringing up the same old arguments? The Mary Jane statue fight segued into the Power Girl hentai fight with barely a pause for breath, so why bother bringing it up?[...]What difference can one person in a blog make, after all? -
- angiepen: Dealing With WIPs - as a writer, I have this constant fear in the back of my mind that I won't be able to do it. That something will go SPROING![...]and the damn thing will just sit there smoking and spitting the occasional spark while my readers are going, "Yeah? Well? -
- angua9: Sojourns with Savages - Many people's descriptions of what they love about their fandom experience - finding others who share and constantly reinforce their own prized contrary reading - sounds rather hellish to me, like a cult rather than a pleasant, stimulating pastime -
- sageness: POLL! What time zone are you in? - WHAT TIME ZONE ARE YOU IN? -
- thete1: So, about that Transformers movie. - Is racism still racism for you if it's -- again, to some extent -- 'even-handed?' If it isn't, why not? -
- oblomskaya: genre - Pugh's book is called "A Democratic Genre", in Hellekson/Busse I read "genre", and now in Fan Fiction Glossary I stumble upon: "Fanfic itself is technically a genre". Why is it a genre? -
- cleo2584: Validation vs. Open Posting: A Poll - Where does fandom post its fic? Who uses a beta and who doesn't? [POLL] -
- puritybrown: Slash tropes - With the careful application of SlashTropesTM, even the most stubbornly heterosexual characters will find themselves melting in the arms of other men! -
