nova_berry: Indulge me, if you will? - How important are the following indicators to YOU when you're reading fic? -
- tvm: and they lived happily ever after... - A huge, HUGE part of enjoying fiction/fanfiction for me is going on the samejourney that the characters go on, EXPERIENCING it all with them. Knowing the end before I've read the beginning or middle just... I don't know, would ROB me of that incredible, v -
- emily_shore: "Slash": Do we need a gender-neutral term? - Yet defending slash as feminist--for the way that it breaks down gender roles and makes room for the desires of women--while using a term that can be understood to exclude women entirely seems to me to be, at the least, deeply undesirable. Fandom as a who -
- pir8fancier: Plot musings - No matter how brilliant this movement is, no matter how many bells and whistles go off, so much so we can be *deaf* by the end of the book, to not have your characters move emotionally within all this movement is, yes, statis. Which can kill a book. Or se -
- femmequixotic: Don't Let The Muggles Get You Down, or Why I Joined OTW - in order for me to adequately explain why I even threw my name into the ring during the call for volunteers, I have to go through a bit of history regarding Strikethrough and its aftermath because my experience this past year with LJ and 6A highly, highly -

- cordelia_v: Why I Support The OTW, by Cordelia V - It's about entropy, and preservation of what we've created.//In the end, mountains always crumble. Rome fell. Nothing lasts forever.//But it will disappear all the faster if we make no effort to preserve what fen have created -
- looneyluna: they really want you, they really do - I admit that I have trouble understanding why a girl wants to be with the band, rather than in the band. I saw Almost Famous and pitied Penny Lane even before the overdose. I was so happy that I was living when girls were rocking, not just standing in th -
- valerie_z: For what it's worth - Why we should not - Lately there's been discussion about how scene girls, who sleep with guys in bands, post pictures of themselves looking slutty on MySpace, and don't appear to do much else, are vilified in fandom. Some seem to think that this is a feminist issue, and I ag -
- sistermagpie: The Imperfect Body - It's hard to explain, but there's sometimes a rawness you can get when you're working with a real person the author finds physically attractive. -
