Meta Roundup

This post will get updated regularly. It's going to include meta-ish asylums, indexes/directories or master lists, as well as newsletters and asylums where you can promote your own IJ communities. (I.e., I won't mention new asylums in the roundup issues, but instead include a note that this post has been updated.) I recommend bookmarking it for future reference. A copy of this post will get mirrored on my personal journal here.

Note: RPG-related indexes are included. So are non-fannish asylums when they serve as directories or information hubs. Main goal is to help people navigate IJ, with or without specific fandoms in mind.

mirabile_dictu: PEDTM: day twenty-four: love and the internet: "Shirky closes his talk with, "We have always loved one another. We're human; it's something we're good at." I think that's true. It doesn't mean we're not at times horrible to each other, and it certainly doesn't mean we don't disagree vehemently with each other. But I think it helps explain the existence of fandom."

happier_bunny: Weighing In: "Not everyone is going to like everything and a critical discussion of someone's work DOES NOT translate into a request that it not be written. It also doesn't translate into: I don't like you."

branchandroot: What is ‘in character’?: "But let me simplify it a little and specify more: should one stick with information presented in the anime/manga, which is frequently contradictory; or information presented in guide/info books, which often provides more background detail but may, again, be contradictory; or information pertaining to real life?"

telesilla: so if your characters wrote fanfic... "...what would they write?"

aristoboule created a poll about writing/RPing original characters and/or fandom characters.
