- scratchingpost1: Thoughts on writing - Now, I think my methods are changing. I really think a major reason is that at this time last year I had a great idea for a story, but I never had time to sit down and write. So I started just taking notes in my head. -
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
mieronna: Archive of our own - It always seemed to me that fanart was somewhat outside the mainstream of the fandom. Certainly liked and welcomed (in most cases) and it never lacked for squee - but still always an afterthought. -- ithiliana: Fandom Discoures, Cycles, Communities, and More - But no matter what context the "golden age" argument appears in (Golden Age: "It used to be so much better back when...."), I doubt it. My hackles go up. The idea that there was some golden age of fandom meta that was ruined by X (in this case, according to some, X being social justice posts) just blows. -
- ithiliana: By the Numbers, Part I, or, Golden Age, What Golden Age? - I'm an English prof, not a statistician (but I do know that correlation is not causation), and I thought, well, has anybody even looked at the numbers? And even if they are posting less stuff or less stuff people want to read, I noticed that it soon becomes this conspiracy theory (those evil evil mods, or those cliqueish mods, or those fossilized mods), instead of people thinking, well everybody is busy, and why don't I volunteer to help out if I like meta so much. -
- ithiliana: Numbers Part 2: Topics - But if white people are perceiving a flood/outpouring/drowning out of their "self reflective fandom centered whites only" meta--welllllll....it may be linked to the same sort of perception issue. -
- sqbr: The Oppressor as hero - The Kyriarchy says that white straight able-bodied upper/middle class men are natural leaders and better than everyone at everything. So having a story where such a character joins a group of non-white/GLBT/disabled/lower class etc characters and immediately proves himself better than them all at everything and their natural leader, not to mention having their POV the only one worth seeing the story through..is not so anti-oppressive a message in my book. -

We're having a very Top Gear Christmas Eve. We vastly enjoyed the test of whatever that tiny, tiny horrible French car was. The practical test, set in Belfast. It ended excellently. (NB: James May is still Mr Pedia's woobie.)
Mr P gave me another model airplane. As soon as I finish gluing the Spitfire together (have it about 50% done), I'll be building a Zero. I'm hoping to do a P51 Mustang after that.
I also note that there is Buffy/Giles fic on the AO3 that I have never read before. I assume it's been lurking somewhere unfindable on LJ this whole time. Man, I hate LJ as a venue for fic. But! Goodies like this! New to me! But alas unfinished.

- dhobikikutti: Yuletide Bears: The Now That You've Uploaded Edition - The
TRUFAXCompletely Imaginary List of Reasons Why My Recipient Will Hate My Fic - - girlpearl: Pretty much exactly what I was talking about - And then Mel said that sometimes it's like watching a movie that was made 20 years ago, and how even if it's set in the future or in the past, in period costume and all, it still looks & feels like a movie made 20 years ago, and that with fandom moving so fast, you can get that over just a couple years or even months, sometimes. -
- lynns118: [in kirkspock] Discussion on Feedback - So, my question, what is your thoughts on giving feedback? What are your rules? If you think someone's story is badly written, are you comfortable telling them that? Have you ever responded to feedback in a negative way (whether you were the author or just another person who read the story). Or, as an author, what kind of feedback do you prefer? -
- cruiscin_lan: Hey writers. Let me poll your brains. - For anyone who has ever written before, this one's for you. We'll be playing it fast and loose with definitions, so don't stress it too much. I'm just wondering what you write, why, and how. -
- zvi: Comment repost - I seriously don't understand why the presence of social justice meta, even a lot of it, even only tangentially related to what we usually think of as fannish [and, I think the Russophobia is actually pretty in line with what metafandom did Back In The Day, because the journaling systems have been part of the fannish conversation on metafandom from the beginning] is seen as in a zero sum with Old School navelgazing self-reflective meta. -
- jane_elliot: [in epic_rants] *sob*"I don't think anything on this list is less than 1000 words, so I hope everyone likes long fics."
This is not the first time I've seen something along these lines and it really pains me that these days a fic of 1,001 words can actually be called "long". - alias_sqbr: Gen, romance and a happy ending - what I'm really after is the characters going through a major positive change in themselves and their lives leading to a satisfying happily-ever-after ending(*). It's much easier to do this with a romantic plot, they're disproportionately involving and there's this strong cultural belief that finding your true love=happy ever after. -
- sheenaghpugh: Forgiving the Bastard - People differ, of course, in what they find unforgivable, and one woman's Forgivable Bastard is another's bete noire with no redeeming features. -
- queenzulu: I have two expectations: safety and respect. - I am sad that she will listen to her friends because that is far easier than taking responsibility for her actions. I am sad that most of the commenters will tell her that racist acts--as long as they are "jokes"--are okay. That silencing people who "dare" to be hurt by racism is okay. -
- ticcyyy: Srsly - If people have to be silent about these real issues in fandom because it upsets those who are having "fun" or because it hurts someone's feelings to have their grossly misguided and priviledged opinions challenged, that is so fucking backwards I can't even. People should NOT be afraid to speak up about issues that MATTER. -
- toft: I also love that it's been over an hour and I'm only halfway through - I really do think Yuletide is an amazing time to see fandom. It's just - you look at all this stuff, all these weird, specific requests for these weird, specific fandoms that people have, and there's so much imagination out there, so much love and creative desire. -
- cupidsbow: Narcissism and vidding - Anyway, I wonder if other vidders got started because they wanted certain stories; so they made them, and then rewatched them over and over (the way I used to watch my favourite SGA vids, now that I think about it). -
- lian: so, metafandom - There's just this sense of entitlement and disappointment in these posts that I don't quite grok, because I don't see mf in these strictly top-down terms. -
All righty! Here's the scoop about my 12 fics in 12 days project. I've finished all 12 fics already. They're short (the shortest is a little more than 2 pages, the longest is 5, I think) but I'm pretty happy with them all. And, most importantly, they're *done*. heehee I'm working on the overflow of requests now, which I'm calling bonuses, for lack of a better name. I'm writing 2 for sure (one for callmetina who was #13 and one for nermal because OMG it's nermal and she deserves a gift!). I'm planning on having time for a few more.
I can't make any guarantees once the holidays start... but if you didn't get picked as one of the 12 and you want me to try a little something for you, post here and let me know what you'd like! I'll write as many as I can as the muses allow. No promises, but it doesn't hurt to post a bunny here for me to think about :-) Same rules as before-- something I'm familiar with, nothing too detailed since these are short pieces, but specific enough so that it's something you want.

Puppy School 1/?
- deird1: Mental Story Whiplash - You see, if I know what direction the story's heading in, I can sit back and enjoy the ride. Any more spoilery info will just... well... spoil. -
- penknife: Vidders, why so mysterious? - But if you're going to (very nicely) make your vids available for download from your website, could you please include some kind of summary? At least pairing or main character, and maybe some hint at "the point of this vid is"? ("... that John and somebody are very hot together"? "... that death and tragedy is tragic?" "... that Atlantis, like Camelot, is a silly place?") -
- xie_xie_xie: metafandom and its discontents - Nutshell: They aren't linking to much meta lately. Why? -
- facetofcathy: Fanlore log. - Lately, and I mean the last several months, the wiki is being edited by only three or four people on a regular basis, and their focus has been on 'zines. That's not of interest to me, and the project seems to be withering on the vine. -
One: Well, I've joined the masses at the AO3, aka the "archive of our own". I've only posted a few stories so far but I'll probably eventually get everything up there. It'll be nice to have a backup archive in addition to my singing and dancing one. Performance seems sludgy, particularly on story posts. Perhaps this is the Yuletide rush.
It also seems buggy. I'll be filing some reports.
Two: I note that I'm doing a rip-snorting job so far of failing to answer comments. I soldier onward posting as close to daily as I can manage.
Three: I'm having a bit of a problem with the Caspian piece in today's music field. As in, it won't come off repeat. You can listen on youtube or on last.fm. Possibly the signature music of the Iceland story, if things continue on this way. Every story I write has an iTunes playlist for listening as I write, and for most of them I end up fixating on a single song that seems to represent the emotional core for me.
I love the tag somebody has given it on last.fm: "the sound of falling dust". Hmm, somebody's taste overlaps with mine... I think I'm going to make a playlist called that and figure out what I'd put in it.
Four: No idea if I'm going to manage to finish this Buffy/Oz/Xander thing in time for xmas day. 5600 words, and Oz is being balky. He's demanding that he trigger all sorts of character movement and stuff, and be the reason it's a story instead of just a slice of life thing. "Story" being "a thing that can only happen once", because change is at its heart, and all that jazz. But sorry, Oz, it's about Buffy not you. Deal.

I've been working on my 12 Fics in 12 Days project (looking forward to sharing the results with y'all). And it just occurred to me today that I'll be posting them starting in TWO DAYS! It's almost Christmas! EEEK!
smokeycat_430, what AM I going to write for you? *sits down and does a Winnie the Pooh impression* "Think, think, think!"
Okay. It's past 2am. Must go to sleep now. Looking forward to my last day of work in 2009!

- 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. -
- 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? -
