wickedwords: Smarm, Emo Porn, and Peak Moments: Are they the same thing? - today's question is: What is the difference between Smarm, Emo Porn and a Peak Moment or Money Scene? -
- wickedwords: A request for the Hurt/comfort and fan history people - I'd like to get some people to work on the History of Hurt/comfort fandom. Things I'd like to know would be: What were the big Hurt/comfort stories in your fandom? Did any of them have huge impact? Can someone talk about 'brain damage' stories, and 'illness hurt/comfort'. -
- brown_betty: Dick Grayson in a fake moustache and glasses - There is a story I will read every time I see it, no matter how many times I see it: Our Hero is undercover, and surrounded by badguys, but someone there, either someone else undercover or someone in trouble, begins to suspect Our Hero is not actually the villain they pretend to be. -
- bop_radar: Vidding chat: Planning vids - How do you get from the idea phase of vidding to the laying-down-clips-in-the-timeline phase? -
- bop_radar: Vidding chat: First vids - What was the first vid you made and what made you take the plunge into vidding? If you haven't (yet) made a vid yourself, feel free to tell us about the vids you dream of making one day. -
- cupidsbow: Australia in fiction - You know what it makes me wonder, though? It makes me wonder if the stuff I write set in other countries sounds off to the people who live there. -
- miyuki_mina: [in fanficrants] Being strong women =/= hating our vaginas - A woman can choose to perform ANY kind of stuff she wants without ANYONE looking down on her - looking down on a feamle because she'd sew clothes and bake muffins rather than shoot others and be a martial artist is actually ANTI FEMINIST. -
- seperis: recording history - See, the thing is, the wiki is a lot of things to many people, but it's, for me, a living memory. -
- cupidsbow: Secret wishes - When you sign up for exchanges, do you ever have a secret wish to be assigned someone in particular? Do you squee when you see their name on the list of people who are taking part? -
- zelempa: Fanlore thoughts - Do you think it's a good idea to have pairing pages in addition to character pages on the fanlore wiki? -
- telesilla: FanLore.... - But still, our history is important and I think that this project is important as well. I'm watching several pages and have done an edit here and there. I wish there were some way I could team up with someone who can write in the wikipedia style and work with them to get some of the stuff in my head into the wiki. -
- laceymcbain: Writing Disconnect - reading one's own work - Have you ever had that experience when you go back and read something you wrote a long time ago, a story you've almost forgotten existed, and you read it with completely new eyes, and you think, "I wrote that!"? -
- xparrot: fan types - I've had a theory for a while that there are two fundamental types of fans - the intellectual/analytical kind, and the emotional kind, and major fan conflict and wank can arise when these two types interact, because they approach fanning differently, and therefore have a difficult time understanding where a fan of the other type is coming from. -
