verstehen: In the midst of the discussion that saeva and I had about this morning's post on metatextual and contextual racism (and other isms) - I think the bias overlooked by fandom and probably created unconsciously by the show's producers and writers is the anti-intellectual air. After all, accepting it as rote is easy; it plays right into the general culture of anti-intellectualism within Amer -
- gayalondiel: Parody, satire, and copyright infringement. - My question is, is it actually exempt? I don't think it's going to make a difference to YouTube, and as I said I'm only posting out of interest, but I suspect it's not as cut and dried as all that and I would be really interest to know if people consider -
- ataniell93: Why I Hate The Words "Love Interest" And That Doesn't Make Me a Misogynist, Thanks - I'm a feminist, but I don't like love interests. And I don't get why feminists should, or why this is misogynist. [SPOILERS FOR SPN S3] -
- narahttbbs: Fanfic book club? - When I read good fanfics, I always find myself wanting to discuss them afterwards. I don't mean in the sense of leaving feedback, which is a bit too uni-directional for a proper discussion -
- misscam: And as the Harry Potter Wankalypse draws nearer... - What would it take for your fandom(s) to top that? What could happen in the show/book/anime/band/etc that would cause wankery to go all the way and be known as the most supreme ever? Come on, you can think of something. -
- troyswann: Coming to you live from Firefox - And, of course, because I am not a vidder of any kind, and am rather a writer of some kind, I have to start thinking about what the relationship might be between a "constructed reality vid" and a fic AU. Are they analogous? I dunno. Somebunny should 'spla -
- mitsamford: [In fandebate] Gender and Fan Studies (Round Six, Part One): C. Lee Harrington and Sam Ford - I was fascinated, as I delved into these discussion of fan fiction and fan communities versus user-generated content and producer/consumer interaction that[...]studying producer/ consumer interaction was considered by many to be a male perspective -

- frimfram: DC launches zubacomics.com - In other respects, it smacks of FanLib for comics. A way for established companies to exploit grassroots creativity for fun and profit. -
- saeva: The Legitimacy of "Love Interests" In Plot - why would love interests in fictional, but still human-based, canons not be interested in finding love interests and why wouldn't being a love interest in and of itself be a legitimate plot role? -
- carlanime: The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, - accusing someone who has a shipping preference you donât support of racism is demagoguery of the worst and lowest kind, especially if youâre lazy-minded enough to berate people for not abandoning their ship in favour of another possible ship -
- beccaelizabeth: I think the biggest reason I keep arguin - Sometimes it's a bit literal that favourite shows think the audience is someone else entirely. Quite often you can tell from the advertising.[...]I very rarely get the feeling that yes, I am exactly the audience they were hoping for. -
- fabu: One last meme response - rethought asked about care and feeding of a LiveJournal.//Let me preface this by saying that I don't think there's a right or a wrong way to run your journal - this is just what works for me. -
- sistermagpie: Canon does not exist - one of the things that's so amazing and wonderful about fiction and fandom, since fandom takes fiction to another level, and that is that the whole basis of fandom does not exist. It's imaginary. It's just a story that exists as words on a page or actors -
- chebonne: Of fandom misogyny and other things - I guess what I'm trying to say is this: the romantic in me will always be annoyed at those meddling characters (females or otherwise, I'm not too fond of Angel getting between Buffy and Spike either) who "disrupt" my OTPs -
- teenybuffalo: No Girlz Aloud - Now I'm trying to figure, why am I like this? In my real life, I like being a woman and wouldn't trade it for anything. Yet, if I'm "playing" a guy in one of my stories, I feel at home and like a real person, whereas if it's a woman, I feel subtly unco -
- karathephantom: When The World Comes Crashing In - I'm in fandom to make the canon "Real". Reality has nothing to do with the text. Not reading my life into the text, to me, is like buying a toy, then not playing with it. -
