- noracharles: International fandom, again. - When you are in a discussion about tensions between cultures and prejudices against certain nationalities, and how Westerners (hint: especially Canadians and U.S. Americans) are generally ignorant, dismissive and fearful of people from certain countries, don't reframe the discussion to be about your own nation and culture, erasing and dismissing the actual people from actual different countries than your own whom you are currently talking to. -
- branchandroot: untitled - Were 6A ever called capitalist pigs? Multiple times in every heated post? Were they referred to at every turn as Americans or San Franciscans as though that somehow explained why they were bad? -
- bell: one discussion leads to another - However, the main reason I wanted to make this exchange public was to ask anyone reading my journals, on DW or on LJ, to not stereotype Russians in a similar way in comments to my posts. I feel it is phobic language in its own right, and just as I am trying to do away with ableist, racist, homophobic, and cis-privileged language, I would like to do with terminology and references that does not respect the complexity of a given culture and nation. -
cupidsbow: diigo vs delicious, and how to set up diigo - There are several reasons I have accounts on two social bookmarking sites. Mostly, I began by wanting a back-up site for my recs on delicious; but having now compared the functionality of diigo and delicious, diigo is the clear winner in nearly all respects. -
- facetofcathy: Historical AUs and race--my thoughts and questions and no real answers. - We seem to have some kind of unspoken fandom consensus on this with respect to women in historical AUs, where they get to achieve a level of awesome about equivalent to a Jane Austen heroine, but are never quite too unbelievably modern, but I can't really find the conversation about race in historical AUs. -
- amber: come and play in my sandbox. - This isn't a Beginner's Guide to Dreamwidth, nor is it a comprehensive list of all the cool stuff the site has to offer. It's intended to be useful for people who want to RP here, and assumes prior experience in using a similar website to do so. -
- noracharles: Call for contributor guidelines to metafandom, and for more dw meta - How would you as a reader like to be made aware of interesting meta posted to dreamwidth, including the sort not accepted by metafandom? -
51stcenturyfox: Let's talk about sex, baby - Sex means something, even PWP sex. -
- marina: untitled - Now, we all know (well, maybe you don't) that ever since LJ was bought up by a Russian company the wank in English speaking fandom over THE KREMLIN TAKING OVER has been utterly insane. I remember when it first happened, I remember the initial panic (yes, panic) and how many people talked about feeling like LJ was on the verge of being purged of all that was "non conforming", everything that was "problematic" content. -

If you are interested in becoming a link compiler, please send an e-mail to metafandom at gmail dot com.
ladyoneill: sometimes it's like I'm thirty two all over again - So, please write what you want the way you want it! Don't change your stories because someone doesn't like it. Use constructive criticism if you must, but don't let it outweigh your own desires. -
- kaigou | contemplating the leap: fanfiction and original fiction - The reviewer goes on to suggest that fanfiction works on a basis of potential plausibility, that is, giving the reader a situation or behavior not seen in canon that, when argued/presented by a skillful fanfic writer, become plausible (believable) extrapolations of the original character. But this also means paying more attention to the character's actions, mindsets, mannerisms, whatever, both to reinforce the character's shared story-origins -- eg speaking patterns, or facial expressions -- and then to overlay the subtle changes introduced by the fanfic's author. -
- synecdochic: wow. just .... wow. - Gender will be a mandatory field at account creation...LiveJournal is removing the Unspecified option for the gender field. That's right: you get to be male or female. Period. That's it. -
- skuf: Where's all the meta? - What do you think has influenced the seeming decline in general fandom meta as indicated by the fewer links in metafandom issues as compared to a couple of years ago -
- flourish: Fans, cultists, and enthusiasts - But it does help me see that we need greater granularity in our discussions of fandom. And yet, as was made crystal clear in my last post, it's always most appropriate to call people what they want to be called - and that's probably why I have such a knee-jerk negative reaction to the idea of being called an 'enthusiast.' I'm not a Harry Potter enthusiast, dammit! I'm a fan! -
thete1: "I know it's racist, Te, but the special effects look awesome!" - The simple fact of the matter is that every dollar you spend on these films (and TV shows, and books, and everything else) is a dollar telling Them -- yes, Them -- that it's just fine to piss all over me and other people of color for the sake of 'entertainment.' You're part of the problem. -
sheafrotherdon: The Stories We Tell - Yesterday I read...an AU set in the American Midwest after the War of 1812, and follows the fortunes of Sheppard, McKay, Weir, and Lorne as they travel west to lands granted to them, or bought, in northern Illinois. There they meet Teyla and the Athosian people who are, in this story, Native American.
The story modifies the real historical record in several key ways, the most troubling of which was, to me, the erasure of the region's actual Native communities from the narrative.... The author has, however, given me permission to post my thoughts here, and to reference our email conversation, in the hopes of promoting a larger discussion about historical AUs and the challenges and responsibilities inherent in writing about diverse cultures.

[Dec. 15th, 2009|06:54 pm] |

Our concept is simple, let's take the example of one of the big bang comms and flip it. Instead of a writer pouring out 20,000 words of fic for an artist to interpret, let's give the artists the chance to inspire the author. For this first attempt, we will be limiting the fandoms to include Supernatural, Leverage and RPS from either show. Crossovers will be allowed, but only with these three shows.
Author sign-ups are going on now! See pictures2words for more details and stay tuned for claiming dates!
(Please feel free to spread the word elsewhere! We need more Leverage writers!) |
