beccaelizabeth: Counted Torchwood season 1 - Have finished counting characters in Torchwood season one. ETA: Went on and finished both /ETA. I shall do math and draw conclusions. -- dsudis: Demographics of Stargate SG-1, season one. - Inspired by [info]beccaelizabeth's counting of characters in Torchwood, I decided to count characters in Stargate SG-1 while rewatching, to calculate percentages of female characters and characters of color. (SPOILER: the results were kinda depressing.) -
- stultiloquentia: but i just wanted a hamburger... - That's it in a bathtub nutshell - why I love some fanfic stories with all my heart, but the thought of holding them aloft in front of the Literary Establishment as paragons of the genre still makes me cringey with embarrassment. -
- b_hallward: Forgotten Dialects of the Heart - My characters never talk to each other about love. As Jack Gilbert puts it, in his precise and lovely fashion: How astonishing it is that language can almost mean, and frightening that it does not quite. Love, we say, God, we say, Rome and Michiko, we write, and the words get it all wrong. What I love is pairings where there simply isn't language for what they feel: emotions that are vast and strange and ultimately unconveyable. -
