penknife: On holiday ficathon feedback - But I'm basically uncomfortable with the idea of feedback as primarily social currency, rather than as a reflection of how much a reader wants to read and respond to the story itself. It's simply not true in my opinion that if there are eighty participants in a fest, every story should ideally have eighty comments. -
- pir8fancier: Yeah, on my high horse again: Fests, commentary, and self-worth - I think people need to drop this entire relationship that has become forged in iron about comments on their fic and their self-worth in their particular fandom. -
- jamie2109: Tis the season to be fested...falalalala lala la la... - If you want reviews on your fest work, read and review everyone else's in the fest (or at least as many as you can possibly fit in). Make the effort. And if you're not prepared to then don't complain. -

"i've been working with an mls student - she's been volunteering with a bit of a category & site structure evaluation on the audiofic archive and is writing a case study of the archive as the main paper for a class this semester."

"What I'm asking is whether gen does have its own stories to tell, whether gen has its own lineages and continuities and unfoldings. Or is it subsumed under different histories -- say, the histories of specific fandoms rather than gen-as-a-whole/gen-in-the-abstract, or different publishing and distribution modalities?"
