dachelle: I think it's impossible to be unhappy wh - Idle musing caused by reading metafandom - so, if "bandom," i.e. the Panic/FOB/MCR/etc. fandom, has taken over the term "bandslash," and the term "rockfic" means older bands like The Police and Bon Jovi, what's left to describe the work of those of us who -

kassrachel: Modern midrash - Midrash, like fanfiction, is sometimes serious and sometimes playful. Sometimes it offers a way for the author to make a serious philosophical or theological point, and sometimes it's basically crack!fic. -

ithiliana: Aca-Fan Multidisciplinary Roundrobin: Playing with the Text - Why not pick a text and have a bunch of different aca-fen from all sorts of disciplines talk abut how they would analyze it from the perspective of their discipline, i.e. what sort of methods, assumptions, approaches, theories, etc. would come into play. -

Usually not. -

tightropegirl: my thank-you note (written in pencil) - I seriously believe that the fans are the x-factor in this negotiation; that there are now three sides, not two, and the viewers are being heard. . . the only way to achieve that [a short strike] is to keep the heat on. Please don't stop. -

lyore: Crossovers - I've seen crossovers get a bit of a bad rap, but I have to say I really like them* - I think it really gives the characters (and the author!) a chance to stretch their wings.

metafandom seems to have a double-post tonight, with some overlapping content. I don't think this was intentional?
