- cereta: 307th verse, same as the first - if you're only excuse for not putting your internet identity next to something is that it's "just" an internet identity, you are so full of shit that said shit is coming out of your ears and staining the carpet. Names matter. In fact, they matter more online precisely because all we have to know each other by is a accumulation of words, behavior, and creations. -
- astolat: About the AO3 and the yuletide move - IMO, the only way to persuade people who are still leery of the org is not by lecturing or yelling at them, but with a few more years of the OTW just hanging out in a corner of fandom, building awesome stuff and not doing anything awful. -
- kahtyasofia: Why I Love AO3 - I read about people whining and I have to wonder if they're on the same archive I am -
- r_becca: comment stats - Compared to last year's comment statistics, it's interesting to note that the numbers in the first two weeks are up slightly -- about 2 or 3 comments per entry -- but that comment fatigue this year did not seem to kick in until the fourth week this year. Average comments on all posts are up by 3 comments per entry, but the biggest difference is on the art posts -- an increase of over 12 comments per piece! -
- dark_administrator: [in dark_agenda] Post-reveal discussion - now that authors are revealed, how did your participation in the Dark Agenda Challenge go?
What thoughts do you have about it?
How did it change your yuletide experience?
- schemingreader: not bad enough - In general I think the place of critical comment is in beta-reading email. I don't want criticism from random readers. I want to pick people who write well, or whose opinion I trust for other reasons. -

- zvi: That discussion about discussing fanwork - In the fandom of my dreams, critical discussion is for readers. In the same way that I tl;dr about Glee or Smallville or The X Files, I want to tl;dr about fan stories. I want to compare mpreg stories and tell you which is better and why. I want to deeply examine why I like some stories in the Ladies Choice collection and why some of them leave me cold. -
- toft: long necks, deep holes - It seems that a lot of all this is lumped together - people who are anti-Archive seem to also be anti-OTW and/or anti-Transformative Works and Cultures (the academic Fan Studies journal) and/or anti-acafan in general, often lumping those things together without any real sense of how they are distinguished from each other, or what they are really against. -
- morgandawn: What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate - Part 2 - What social contract do fans owe each other? Some fans feel that there should be laws or at the very least honorable agreements among fans on copying and storing fan fic, linking to websites, talking about fandom and fan fiction in public, and when to honor requests to remove fan fic and vids from public view. Others stare at you blankly when talking about "rules" and then flip you off. -

cruiscin_lan: What makes YOU squick? - So basically, right now I'm looking for someone who can relate. What squicks you? Have you ever been squicked by a squick you didn't know you had? Have you gotten over squicks? Do you stop reading after hitting a squick, or do you try to skip it and keep going? Will you make exceptions based on author or other factors? -
- thelastgoodname: It occurs to me that an argument could be made.... - What if a person didn't want a future in which fannish activities were recognized as legal? What if said person liked doing things that are morally and legally dubious--what if that were part of the draw? What if the illegitimacy of the act were part of why a person participated? -
