- fanficrants: Real Person Slash Authors. - At what point, can we, as authors say that a character in a fic is OOC? I mean, these are real people, correct? That we probably do not know, right? That being said, how can we, as authors and reviewers, decide when a character is out of character? Do we truly know them enough to say what they’re like? -
- furiosity: разрушенный мир, разбитые лбы, разломанный надвое хлеб - The problem is that in so many of my past fandom entries, the comment discussions often have far more value than the posts themselves, and moving just the posts would be largely pointless. However, I have a serious issue with moving comments that other people made. Those comments are theirs -- just because they’re in my journal doesn’t mean I own them or can republish them on another site at will, even with the original contributor’s OpenID attached. -
- fourth_rose: Okay, this is beginning to bother me - And now I’m wondering whether I missed the memo at some point that re-posting someone else’s words was suddenly okay? This has been rehashed over and over during my time in fandom, and afaik, “don’t repost stuff that belongs to other people without their permission” is still a fandom rule that is broken at the reposter’s peril. Or rather was, until the Power of the Shiny made such small concerns obsolete. -
- lauredhel: Slash and Teh Magick Testicles of Perspicacity - Like all good evolutionary psychologists who focus on gender, Don hasn’t bothered to talk to any actual *whispers* women. Especially not to any women who write and/or study this, erm, *whispers* smut. Because women can’t define their own experience, can’t tell their own stories, can’t have any useful insights into their own motivations. Because women’s fan academia doesn’t really exist in any meaningful sense, not until chest-beaters come along and put their stamp of Knowledge onto it. Because women’s culture is there to be picked apart with tweezers and analyzed with a touch of distanced fascination, a modicum of distaste, and a whopping serve of willful ignorance. -
- gnatkip: Better living through javascript - These are the ones I rely on the most. -
