denynothing1: I've got questions, you've got answers - What kind of writing exercises strengthen the ability to world-build? Any suggestions? How do you set up context for readers who are not familiar with your source text when writing fic, yuletide or otherwise? -
- criticalcricket: [in fanthropology] The Secret Lives of Fen - If we choose to keep our lives separated, should we expect the internet to cover for us? After all, people like disclosure and sharing secrets and there's the sudden rise of the wiki. -
- tightropegirl: creativity in the new world, part one - creativity, effort, and what it means to be a "fan" or a "pro." I've long thought the wall between those two categories was largely artificial, and certainly far less relevant than the wall between "talented" and "untalented," or "ready" and "not ready." -
- mofic: Confessions of a Lesbian Feminist Slasher - Yeah, that's me. I'm a lesbian feminist, a mother, a long-time, sometime queer activist and AIDS activist. And I'm a slasher -- someone who writes slash fan fiction in my spare time. -
- coffee_mug [in fandom_discuss] [on journalfen]: Uke/seme structures even when fandom is Western? - Does slash fic tend to have one character as the feminine half and the other one as the masculine one? If yes, is this awful and stereotyping gay relationships, or something a good author might pull off? Does the whole uke/seme thing hold some importance -
- furiosity: it's like a never-ending cycle that just seems to come full circle - At any rate, there is a limit to how far you can stretch what's in the books until it's completely unrecognisable. That, I think, is the crucial element of fan fiction writing: knowing when the stretch stops. -
- fan_eunice: no thanks, I'll have the subtext please - I watch my shows for the story and for the characters. I come to fandom for my 'ship whore needs. If the 'ship is part of the story then it might function[...]in ways that I can play with fannishly, but not as a 'ship whore -
- elements: [in fandom_lawyers] "Recut, Reframe, Recycle" on fair use in online video - As online video burgeons, so do questions about what kinds of uses of copyrighted works are legal online. Inevitably, those questions will be settled at least as much by practice and private negotiation as by legal action. -
- deepad: [in yuletide] Thoughts about minorities of fen and fandoms - There have been many[...]discussions about race, ethnicity and culture in the fannish spaces I have spent time in[...]What has brought me unexpected joy, though, has been seeing the results of those discussions manifest in fic posted in this exchange. -
