- xie_xie_xie: IJ starting to penetrate Google! - we should all have the right to flock our personal posts, for fandom activity to be required to be locked down behind friends-only, members-only, or "adult content" flags makes it extremely hard to locate fandom if you're new. -
- 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. -
- 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. -
- 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. -
