  • [info]resolute: Wiscon panels, part one. - I go to Wiscon every year ready to talk. To talk and listen and learn. And each year I seem to come away with a personal convention theme of sorts. This year it seemed I went to a lot of panels on how to write. -

  • [info]resolute: Wiscon panels, part two - The metaphors of transformation in genre fiction are metaphors for losing one sort of power and gaining another. Growing up, growing into a new life. One fraught with complications, but more rewarding than the life you had before. Worth the risks. -

  • [info]resolute: Wiscon panels, part three - While at Wiscon I realized something about fic writing that struck me As Important. So much of fanfiction is cliched because cliche gives a little more distance. Cliches are the tongs we use to talk about these important, id-y things. -
