dani_the_girl: Archiving - I feel like I'm in a similar place when I ask the question "What is the point of fanfic archives?" If I've got a DW account with all my fic on it tagged under fic, do I need an AO3 account? What's the motivation behind building AO3. I feel like there are historical reasons for this stuff that I, so far, don't get. -

princessofgeeks: the slash writer ponders female characters - [...] writing the female characters in fanfic is very hard for me because I keep tripping over my own issues and projecting those issues (or, perhaps more accurate, fearing I am projecting those issues) onto the female characters in a way I don't do with the male characters. -

cesare: feedback, concrit, etc. - These guidelines have helped me to minimize some of the indecision and angst I feel regarding feedback. Once I made the rule that any story I finished got a comment unless it was more than a year old, it became much easier to handle giving feedback. -

neekabe: [untitled] - I see Neal as a bi-romantic demi-sexual. He's certainly interested in romantic attraction and love, you see that with Kate and you see that with Peter. And I think he loves the idea of being in love. It fits in with the personal he has, and the era he embodies. I don't think he has any particular need for a sexual component to his relationships, nor does he have a strong/existent sex drive. -

jane_elliot: [in epic_rants] People! Stop using Word to convert to HTML! - For everyone out there who uses Word to automatically convert to HTML -- STOP. Seriously. More than half of the Word-to-HTML files I encounter are nearly unusable due to tables (guess what? They don't work if your reader is using a different screen size), pictures (which invariably end up over the text), single line spacing between paragraphs (I can't even figure out where Word screwed up there), or a half-dozen other issues. -
