author_by_night: Fan entitlement, my ass. - JK Rowling is thought of as a brilliant writer, and many of her dittoheaded fangirls take every word as gospel truth. I have seen them trolling about, daring to suggest that JKR writing the books means she knows everything and can say what she wants. -
- screwthedaisies: My fannish life (tl;dr) - while I was away, I missed out on a discussion¹ where again OTW has tried to encompass all creative fan activities under terms more suited to describing specifically the activities of fans who are working off of other people's creations. -
- anarchicq: My thoughts on OTW - Fanfiction.net is a laughing stock because of its lack of quality-control. What makes OTW think they'd be any more revered? -
- narahttbbs: A different school of vidding - vidders out there who are working within communities that are even further removed from the sort of vidding that you see at Vividcon. One such group are the vidders--almost exclusively male--who gather in the video sections of the NASA Spaceflight forums -
- stella_omega: Okay, the obligatory OTW meta; - But most hobby activities are controlled by the hobbyists, and fanfic.net, journalfen, squidge.org, and now OTW, are all of them fans' effort and work, and all of them focus on the shared hobby of writing a particular form of fiction. -
- cryptoxin: Semi-delirious ramblings on fanfic & OTW discussions - I'm not sure that legality and legitimacy for fanworks are the endgame here -- it feels like it's more about autonomy without apologies, with securing the legal and cultural status of fan productions being the means to an end. -
