- lunabee34: What are your rules for fandom? - I've been thinking lately about politeness and civility in fandom and what it means to me. -
- lydiabell: Notes on the current debacle - If you want to keep from giving a site hits, it's not enough to use nofollow or anonymizers[..]neither will prevent the site from racking up hits from your visit. You need to avoid the site entirely, or look only at Google or Wayback Machine cached copies -
- anarchicq: The fucked up fandom trifecta. - I watched something huge unfold before my eyes, some things that will change many aspects of Livejournal, whether fandom wants it to or not.//After much thinking, I've decided to say my piece -
- brown_betty: Cheater's guide to Conlang in fiction - By 'cheater', I mean those of us (me) who don't want to do it the hard (right) way, but don't want it to look too crappy. By Conlang, I mean 'constructed language', like Quenya, Esperanto, and Klingon. -
- zvi_likes_tv: A few Cult of Nice Misapprehensions - So, we're not looking to hurt you, we don't think we're better able to think about fanfiction than you, we do have feelings, and some of those feelings are (a) critical discussion is fun and (b) people not liking something I did feels bad. Just FYI -
- ciderpress: I've got the thingie. Half in English, half in squibbly. - The thing about Laura Hale/Michela Ecks/partly_bouncy/purplepopple and her friends who run fanhistorydotcom or actively advocate fanhistorydotcom is that they fail repeatedly on three fronts. -
- mofic: Some Thoughts on Fandom, Privacy, Money, and Other Stuff - That it's possible to find out what someone's non-fannish identity is does not mean that it's ethical to publicize the connection. I think that is the big fallacy in the "privacy" post that Laura had posted to fanthropology. -
- etrangere: Intent, interpretation, legitimacy, accuracy & responsability - I've been thinking about intent and interpretation, in communication and art especially, seeing a lot of things popping on my friendlist and journal related to the same thing.
