- yagathai: Dear Fandom - I tend to be conservative by inclination, but every con that I attend makes me want to declare a revolution, storming the barricades and flinging greybeards** from the ramparts, just a little bit more. -
- cofax7: Humpday links, Sea Patrol, and convention meta - cons are meat-space infrastructure for SF/F fandom, the way LJ is electronic infrastructure for media fandom, and I love to investigate the way the infrastructure affects the form and content of the discussions it hosts. -
- coffeeandink: Readercon, authority, and models of readership - The con is missing out on a huge richness of diversity of experience and thought; it is missing out on some of the greatest pleasures of reading, not to mention the chance for writers and critics and "just readers" to challenge and change each other. -

10 Sean Maher icons from 'Drop Dead Diva' by recrudescence
Community Spotlight:
I seriously debated linking the Sean Maher/Drop Dead Diva icons today, after all, they're neither Firefly related nor from a photo shoot. But in the end, I couldn't leave them out, which is why they ended up in Miscellaneous - along with all the miscellaneous screencaps of other 'verse folk in other shows.
But to keep up on all the latest info about Sean (in case we don't link future fan contributions) be sure to watch maher_daily and seanmaher. And while you're at it, don't forget to check out SeanMaher.info.

| Nominees Updated at Fang Fetish Awards! |
[Jul. 13th, 2009|01:36 pm] |
I have finished updating our Nominees list. If you would like to see who has been nommed for what, just jump on over to the list of current nominees.
Quick reminder; I will be updating the current nominee page once a week on Mondays. It gives me and the mods time to screen nominated fic, for me to email nominees and get some of their acceptances, throughout the week, and it's my day off, which means more time for coding and adding to the nominee list.
Best Ficlet and Icon are now full to the limit of 12 nominations per category. A lot of categories are getting very close to full and a few really need nominations. Please make someone’s day and nominate here.
Thanks,
Rae co-owner FFA |

- sistermagpie: On the appeal of bad boys and girls - There are probably more shows on now than ever before with explicitly "bad" characters. One would think these shows required an audience who liked characters who didnâ™t share their morality, but they seem to also attract a large number of people who think the characters do share their morality until they do something really bad and the illusion is broken -
- prozacpark: Thoughts on fiction and gender: So, what about the men? - Every time there's a good discussion of the treatment of female characters in fiction or a mention of female deaths/refrigerations, there's always the inevitable derailment of the discussion with the very brilliant question of, "But what about the men? Do they don't die/get mistreated/etc, too?" So, I've been thinking: Indeed, what about the men? Are there problems with the way they're portrayed? -
- dachelle: Me + my fandom = OTP - It strikes me that in discussions of "fandom" as an entity, it's kind of assumed that people are multi-fannish, flitting around from fandom to fandom, constantly distracted by the new and shiny, and that that's just how fans are. To me, this is odd, because I am staunchly monofannish. -
