- lotesse: a note on the ongoing metafandom conversation - But I do think that - maybe since the big fails last winter/spring - the elision between fannish meta and oppositional work has become more complete than I'd like. I'd rather have something like [community profile] linkspam to give me thoughts about Russophobia, and keep metafandom for fic theorization. -
- skye: Archive of Our Own Vs. Fanfiction.net - I'm doing a comparison post between both sites and how they function right at this moment. Keep in mind that despite critique, I still like both sites. -
- farad: An interesting article- metafandom meets pro-publishing - The biggest reason I'm subjecting you guys to it is that the first half of it is about why the writers - and reading/paying market for this exploding new literary field - are straight women. You know, in case you want to be over-analyzed by academia about why we like to read hot m/m sex. -
![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cluegirl: Thoughts Contingent on Reader Entitlement; the fandom edition - For Cod's sake, could we please put a little effort into remembering that the writer does not OWE us, the readers, anything more than A Story? And that if we get A Story, there is no contractual obligation under which it will have been written to our tastes, to our preferences, or even to our level of skill or comprehension? -
- silentauror: Thoughts on fic exchange feedback - On the same hand, it's the holidays and regardless of how well it came off, someone spent a lot of time and hard work on a story for someone, and is it really my place to come raining all over their parade? One the other hand, it was still posted in public, not emailed directly to the recipient, and obviously getting comments from readers other than the recipient is also a big part of an exchange like this. -
- fakeplasticsnow: [in idolmeta] SURVEY: Inspiration vs. Perspiration - 1. Look back to the fic that garnered you the most reviews. How long did it take you to write that fic? How does that compare with the average amount of time you take writing a fic?2. Does the trend apply to you too, then? Is the amount of time you take writing something inversely proportional to the number of reviews you get?3. If yes, do you agree that inspiration tends to eclipse effort exerted, in terms of what fic readers respond to? -

 | 02:47 am - Called it, three days.
I have to get out of here.
My family was always kinda dysfunctional, but now it's just gone sailing completely into dysfunctional land. I think my big clue was when two different people warned me to not leave my purse around because my youngest little brother might try to steal money.
Then came the other clue--that I am expected to somehow magically "fix" things. I was ordered to go "talk to" my older little brother because Mom was ready to call the cops on him (yeah, I don't know why either--OK, he didn't sweep the floor, wtf). Because god forbid she talk to him herself. And she has presented me with a list of my little brother's chores, as if I am supposed to make sure they do them. I'm kinda like, why are you talking to me about this stuff? The ones you need to be having the conversation with is THEM, not ME.
And the older little brother is a mess and refuses to see it--never mind he was in tears talking to me, and he's also very angry at me for having left in the first place.
I want out. I want out of this crazy family where I'm supposed to magically make everything better and to give up the few things I have to come back and fix all the fuck-ups everyone else stuck their head in the sand about. I've only been here three days, and already I'm tired--tired of the yelling, tired of the stress, tired of having to smooth things over and defuse crappy situations, and tired of the pressure to somehow make this shit not broken. And tired of the subtle and overt blaming of me because I got the hell out of Dodge--my little brothers wouldn't be so fucked up if I had stayed and taken care of them. Because that's apparently what I was supposed to do; the rest of the family being around be damned.
I want to go home. I want to go home and pretend none of them exist; I want to go back to my quiet, peaceful life where there is no constant screaming, no shut doors with blasting music because everyone is ignoring everyone else. And I know, if it's like this with me having only been here three days, it's just going to get worse and worse as the week goes on.
And already I've gotten the whole, "Well, you can find a job here as good as your one there, right?" thing, and there is no nice way to say that I would sooner slit my own throat than move back to the same hemisphere as them. It's funny; yesterday I was kinda like, "Wow, it's so easy in America; it's so easy being able to completely understand everything, and everything being so completely familiar," but today, I just want out.
I want off this emotional train wreck.
*sigh* On the plus side, HC is now over 24,000 words, and I'm going to work on it more now. I need the distraction.

Fandom-specific
[DCU] shadowvalkyrie: DCU musings: "Specifically, porn. [...] Even more specifically, kinky porn. And the discrepancy of why the Bruce/Tim variety tends to be a great deal more popular than the Bruce/Jason one."
[Torchwood, Buffy the Vampire Slayer] firefly124: Okay, so everybody else has probably already read this AfterElton article (the article compared Torchwood and BtVS in regards to character death, and the post builds on that. I'm not being more specific because I'm unsure whether details about Torchwood's third season are still considered spoilers.)
General
thete1: "I know it's racist, Te, but the special effects look awesome!": "This has been on my mind -- harshing *my* squee -- since that first Transformers movie came out and so many of you were full of excuses about why you were going to see it anyway. Despite the racism."
In a post titled Saying Goodbye, yourlibrarian talks about important changes in TV, reality shows, the demise of the WB, and that the cause for the popularity decline in music games could be "a stranglehold on copyright".
cluegirl: Thoughts Contingent on Reader Entitlement; the fandom edition: "So what is it that makes us as readers so much more ready to be spiteful about work we DID NOT have to pay for? Other than the fact that we can, and the writer in question is unlikely to have highly paid lawyers who might give us a telling-off for acting like arseholes, I mean?"
skuf: Where's all the meta?: "Remember back in the day - e.g. 2006 - when [metafandom] issues were posted about every other day and had shitloads of links? What happened? Brainstorming: ..." (Cross-posted to DW, where the big discussion obviously seems to happen, but I decided to link the IJ version on principle.)
xie_xie_xie: metafandom and its discontents: "But the last three or four times I submitted a link, either mine or someone else's, either QAF-specific or "big picture" fandom meta, it was just ignored. I never knew if they just didn't like it, or didn't get it, or what the problem was."

I've put my iTunes on shuffle and I'll give you the first line of the first 20 songs that come up. You have to guess the song and the performer. And no googling!

 | 02:21 pm - Frolicon: call for panel ideas and panelists
So I'm organizing the writers/writing Think Track at Frolicon this year.
Frolicon is a convention that is a lot of fun; it's a crossover between a science fiction convention and a BDSM convention. You can see why I'm an appropriate person to be putting together some programming for it, no?
So if you're a writer and can get yourself to Atlanta April 1-4 2010, please drop me a line if you are interested in speaking on panels and include any panel or workshop ideas you might have.
The con website: http://frolicon.net/
Livejournal comm: http://community.livejournal.com/frolicon/
Last year we had panels on:
How To Write Sex in SF & Fantasy
Erotica & Sci-Fi, A Perfect Match?
Ask The Writers (Q&A session)
Slash Fiction 201
(as well as a great panel/community roundtable on Race/Ethnicity and Cultural Appropriation -- which was a pretty heavy topic for Frolicon, but went amazingly well. The track I'm organizing is more on the writing/fantasy/BDSM intersections, though.)
Drop me a line in email at ctan.writer AT gmail DOT com with your suggestions for panel topics and your bio if you're interested in speaking at the con.
Panel suggestions from fans & readers are welcome, too! And feel free to point interested parties to this post.
