  • [livejournal.com profile] partly_bouncy [in fanthropology]: Fan History: A fandom wiki that needs your assistance! - As plans are to continue to expand the wiki to make it a more useful tool for academics, fan historians and fandom in order to preserve our history, Fan History needs a way to channel that growth. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] roaringbrute [in deleterius]: Meyshi, Phase 2 : Legalisation - Is OTW creating a situation where sporkers would have to live in fear of fan authors because fan authors would have the legal right to do that because their work is copyrightable? Or would OTW support the sporkers, like us, protecting us against legal thr -

  • [livejournal.com profile] paraka: Question - What do you think about the OTW? Would you like an archive? A written fannish history? A wiki (OMG, I can't tell you how much I'd like a wiki for fandom, although I can see it being vandalized a lot)? Do you think it's a good idea to have a legal defense -

  • [livejournal.com profile] zhai: Harnessing the Dragon: A Middle Ground for Fanfiction - But I assert that by looking closely at what fans are getting out of the fanfiction experience -- and it appears to be an awful lot (what do they want?

  • [livejournal.com profile] etrangere: gay characters in genre fictions, according to Hal Duncan I actually think that there's a lot of interesting stories dealing with queer themes generally speaking in SFF but that's just IMHO.
    It really amuses me when he says slash at least had the guts to get down and dirty

  • [livejournal.com profile] thrace_: This rant doesn't include RPF, because that's a whole 'nother issue - That's like saying that if I painted my own version of the Mona Lisa in which she's holding a beer or something, that that takes away from the original Mona Lisa. What it does is make my painting stupid and boorish; the original Mona Lisa remains a timele -
