  • [dreamwidth.org profile] sarken: Where do you prefer to read fic? - You know how some authors post the header to their story and then, instead of posting the text, include two clearly-marked links, one of which says something like, "Read this story on Dreamwidth," and the other says something like, "Read this story on Archive of Our Own"? I was just wondering what people do when they see that, so I present you with a poll. -

Not sure if this qualifies under being okay to link to or not (it's technically "research," but it's also prompting an unrestricted meta discussion).

    The discussion tag in the_slash_pile is starting to get well used: http://the-slash-pile.livejournal.com/tag/discussion , and you might want to include it on your regular checklist (if you have anything like that.)

    ETA: Technically the_slash_pile discusses and promotes original works, but the discussions are still a kind of fandom activity.

      Hi! :-)

      I've posted something that may be of interest: A discussion of small tropes and themes that throw me out of a story by ringing false to me (examples: comparing a cock to a lollipop during a blow-job scene, or a character not knowing whether they've spoken something out loud or just thought it). I'd really like other readers to chime in with their opinions, and so have a bunch of small polls and a call-out for other people's odd themes and tropes. :-)

      The post is here:
