blueraccoon: this is my thinky face. - I highly doubt many of us in fandom--if any of us at all--do. But you know, it doesn't matter what we consider ourselves. It doesn't matter what we say about our attitudes and what we think. What matters is what we do. And honestly, there are an awful lot -
- seperis: i wish physics had been a little clearer - It's not that every idea coming up is good--Jesus God, not all of them are good--but I'm worried that we're at a place where anything with the potential for explosion is bad. Because seriously, that's a hell of a lot of ideas we're throwing away on a glan -
laylah: thinky: in defense of happy endings - I managed for a little while to convince myself that it was okay to not be elegant and literary and canon-compliant, to do this just because it was a good time. I do so much better when I can convince myself to think about fanfiction as a way to play with -
- hmpf: Writing neurosis; attention meta (not: attention! Meta! *g*)It's nice to be able to see who 'visited', even if they didn't leave a comment. :)
Occasionally - very occasionally - however, it also causes... well, maybe not exactly angst but certainly a kind of puzzlement.
- theladyfeylene: Prostitution Is Revolution - So I wonder: is that dark cloud passed? Do we still need to fear for our teenage smut? Is everyone who's carefully avoiding writing anything with anyone under 18 being paranoid, or safe? -
- witchqueen: Tone: Let's approach this from the other direction - Fans of Color are repeatedly told that if they are sufficiently polite and non-confrontational when challenging racist activity, the original poster[...]will understand why the fan of color is upset[...]//Has anybody actually seen this work in the wild? -

- isiscolo: [in podfic_tips] Quality, filesize, and Audacity/Lame settings - Earlier I promised to do some intensive investigation into the question of what settings in Audacity and Lame result in the best compromise of quality and filesize for podfic recordings. Here are the results. -
- wistfuljane: Thank you, LiveJournal, for adding to my list of things to opt-out - LiveJournal just announced a new Explore feature....// List of Things To Opt-Out -
- elisi: Fanfic essay. - Basically I think there are two types of fanfic: story-based and character-based. Not sure these are good names, but let me explain what I mean: -
- mandy_croyance: Keep it close to your heart, my love - in fandom[...]no one's going to fault me for leaving my fics accessible to whosoever would like to read them. However, if these fics start getting electronically tagged because of the band names[...]people outside of bandom may be pointed in my direction -
- princessofg: Meta: Fiedler again, or, it's not just the slasher's gaze - as women, when we write men in slash, we are using this homoerotic bonding thing that the culture has given us, . . .. But also, we chicks, when we write fanfic, often put the race thing in the background, because Men are Other enough. -
