  • [livejournal.com profile] furiosity: The Family Unit in JKR's Wizarding World - So out of 44 families whose situation is known, 33 (a full 75 per cent) are clearly traditional two-parent families. For 7, status is impossible to determine, 2 are widower!single parents and only 2 are "other parent left" type single parents. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] theiceisthin: Oh, self. Oh, geeky, geeky self. - I know that HP is like the fandom Oil Industry, wherein reflections of it and it's crazy-bigness show up everywhere, but. MAN. I kind of like hanging out with the fandom Green Peacers. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] parrotfish: The myth of colorblindness: more on race in Doctor Who - I'd come to accept that the I don't see color argument is the most insidious form of racism of all, because it shuts down dialogue, instantly implies that bringing up the question of race is the problem rather than the solution -

  • [livejournal.com profile] robin_anne_reid: Scholarship and online issues - In theory, I'm all for such free publication; ...so I've decided to try something here. Behind the cut is an abstract for an article I'm developing based on a presentation I did at last year's Slash Fiction Study -

  • [livejournal.com profile] beccaelizabeth: UntitledI read thru metafandom a thingy about calling stories that focus on two gay-identified men in a relationship as M/M, rather than gay fiction,
    It had a point. I read the point. I'm not sure that specific objection proves the point.

  • [livejournal.com profile] cristalia: Publishers, Market Forces, and Feminism - I think a chunk of the discussion around making SFF a more egalitarian place on grounds of gender has taken a turn into labelling people as sexist or not-sexist: on our team or the other team, and then it stops there. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] commodorified: Crystalisation - If someone[1] expresses to you that your opinions and/or behaviours[2] are coming across as racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, or whatever[...]there is a point perhaps worth considering [...]They thought you'd want to KNOW. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] affectingly: LJ: Socially Awkward Minefield - It very much so seems to me that surviving fandom is all about walking a very fine line between taking things too seriously and not seriously enough -
