gnatkip: Fannish Browsing Tools, Part 2 - It's a list of some bells and whistles for LJ, LJ clones, and other fannish places. -
incisivis: Stuff that's happened - Am I the only one who doesn't get the point of fandom_secrets? Granted, entires seem a little more esoteric than "I like Tracey better than Brock" (which I do), but it's still the same idea: making a big deal out of something that's just...why? -
eonism: Clearly, I have spent too much time on - Then you[...]find that you pretty much hate what's become of these characters, and everything about them that made you want them together has been written out of their storylines. So, what do you do when you don't really care anymore -
affectingly: Bad Fan - Having a sense of humor about the boys, being able to see, acknowledge, and love them in spite of and because of those flaws, does not, nor will it ever, make me or anyone else a Bad Fan. -
dodger_winslow: Jensen and Jared: A Matter of Respect - Show a little love for Jensen and Jared in a way that communicates our solidarity as a fandom behind the simple idea that the guys deserve to be treated with RESPECT by their fans -

beanside: I had an awesome bit of meta about the nature of RPS - I think it boils down to the fact that you're either an insane stalker, or you know how to behave in society. What you write has little to no bearing on that. -
miriam_heddy: A Poll on Self-Rating of Fan Fiction: - If you use the MPAA ratings system (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) for your written stories, or some variation of the MPAA ratings[...]can you please explain to me how you make sense of the following? (see the poll, below): -
fictualities: Hate your family? Become a fantasy hero. Or maybe not. - What makes for a page-turning story? What's the engine that makes a narrative speed along like The Little Engine that Could? I've got a suggestion, one that I think works for at least some stories: hatred. -
hector_rashbaum: The Fourth Fence, Blurry Boundaries, and...Something Else Alliterative - I say RPF is not inherently disrespectful. The fact that it is possible for me to cross lines doesn't mean I will; the boundaries are there and in some places they're kind of flimsy but I won't be using that as an excuse to constantly push them. -
