  • xie_xie_xie: The future of fandom, the interwebz, and us - So my prediction is that fandom is not going to be platform-tied at all, and we’re all going to have a big, interconnected reading list where the lines and divisions between where we’re reading/posting from fall away, like a much more multi-featured feed reader/friends list, like Facebook on steroids and Now! With! More! Stuff!

  • [livejournal.com profile] lothy: Why I wish I’d never heard the phrase “Mary Sue” - The problem is, the label “Mary Sue” gets thrown around the net - and, increasingly, offline too - often without any true evaluation of whether characters are author insertions. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] deepad: An Open Letter to the Politfandom - Obviously, if I thought RPF was icky, I wouldn’t be in communities that write it. That said, the personal is always political, and this is literally true in politfandom. And one thing that has really been bothering me is the appropriation of real world political actions to serve the personal narrative (and often simply sexual) development of the main characters. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] ficsoreal: Dreamwidth, it’s simple. - If you want an account, get one. If you don’t, then don’t. -

  • [livejournal.com profile] trobadora: TMI, and extra grumpiness - What? You can’t build dramatic tension without having stupid misunderstandings that could be solved in an instant if the people involved just talked to each other? *eyerolls* -

Hi,
Is it okay to just drop a link? Or ... is that not the proper way? >.<
