Meta Roundup

This is the rest of the links to IJ posts dealing with Survey!Fail, I haven't found any new ones since.


justhuman: I am so not taking that Survey

lady_ganesh: And the fail continues!

slashpine wrote a link roundup titled ScienceFail, part 3

the_shoshanna reposted the official response from Boston University on Ogi Ogas and SurveyFail!.

Specifically about Ogas' comparison of slash to porn fetishizing trans women, and the fannish response to it: the_willow: Shit That Upset Me And Keeps Me From Sleeping.

slashpine dissects Ogas' apology: Ogi apologizes by insulting fandom some MOAR (rev.1)

In the aftermath, keieeeye wrote: hahaha: "I have a lot of thoughts about fandom as separate from mainstream society."

Something that had sort of spun off into its own topic was a manip by alchemia, depicting "RPS, exhibitionism, partial cross dressing, and tentacle porn". The original post, re: the recent SurveyFail...., has since been edited, and alchemia also made a follow-up post: Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. The responses to this overwhelmingly seemed to have happened on sites other than IJ, though.

skuf started a Mini Meta Fest, "geared towards those of us who want to post more informal meta, but need a little kick in the butt to get going", with user-generated prompts. The rules are detailed here. It's posted to both DW and IJ, but not all prompts on DW have been taken, and the IJ post had no prompts at all.
Responses on IJ so far:

helkamaria: Youth/minors-appropriate fanfic and Incest Fanfiction.

ishtar79 wrote about Geek social fallacies and Character bashing.

elfwreck: Fannish Entitlement and Chapters vs. long oneshots.

yourlibrarian (in mind_over_meta): Drug use, alcohol, smoking in fanfic, with special focus on BtVS and SPN.
