coffeeandink: Four ways to unlearn racism - Here are four things I have found useful in combating my own internalized racism. This is focused on the microlevel, the interpersonal level, because currently my concern is how racism shapes interpersonal interactions even where we think race is absent. -
- slidellra: Brainspew. Did I mention that I don't want to work? - Which makes me think about whether our fannish experience is for the immediate consumption of our flist, or if it's something we're adding to the ever-shifting ds/6 degrees fandom even when we're no longer involved -
- logophilos: [in thisthingwedo] Is getting it wrong, homophobic? - I wanted to focus more specifically on the common tropes in slash which we should be examining to see if they really belong in a thinking writer's armoury. -
- iridescentglow: incest meta - I think, when it comes to discussion of incest in fandom, a lot of the time we get stuck on the, "eww! it's sick! stoppit!" vs. "dude, leave me to my kinks!" merry-go-round. But I think that there's more to discuss. -
- cleo2584: Fic Poll! - I write for... -
- lotesseflower: we had a complicated childhood - The reason why I, as a twenty-one year old girl, like to read stories about young people's sexuality is that I was a teenager not too long ago, and in that time my sexuality was frankly much brighter than it is now. -
- hth_the_first: romance for dummies: chapter one, don't be dumb - Which is all kind of odd for me, given how much of my life I spend amidst people who write romance for fun. And I think the fic I read now does have a lot more casual sex in it than what I was reading eight and ten years ago -- -
- baraqiel: After like...four years of silence... - As for the argument that reading chan will turn someone into a pedophile, people seem to completely miss the distinction between "Harry Potter, hero, savior of the wizarding world" and "that already-fairly-powerless child over there". -
- wychwood: People of Colour SF Carnival 2 - Hello and welcome to the second edition of the People of Colour SF Carnival; I will be your designated Clueless White Person for today. -
- baebell18: Fanfiction as Folk Art - Would it help to be Anonymous and Dead? - Is it possible to argue that in fanfiction what we have created is written folk art ? And if fanfic could be classified as being folk art, what is it about folk art that might lead to such a dismissive response? -
