franzeska | The Usenet Generation
The recent discussions on [profile] lg_interview on livejournal have been fascinating to read. He asked a question about generation gaps in fandom, and everyone agreed that they aren't usually primarily based on age. Years in fandom and what part of online or offline fandom you joined first have a much more significant effect. A number of other people mentioned usenet; it prompted me to think again about my own entry into fandom.

melannen: Love & Marriage
One thing I love in a good SF story is ways of doing love, marriage, and romance that don't buy in to our society's idea of love+romance+sex+monogamy all on one single person as the only way to do it.

I have a small collection of worlds that have come up with better ways, and I have a great deal of fun trying to fit the 'shipping debates from various fandoms into these other ways of looking at love. I especially love the way that many of them explicitly acknowledge the value of non-sexual, sometimes non-romantic, relationships that are of equal importance with the sexual ones.

Fanfic Symposium: When Worlds Collide
true gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.

yourlibrarian: Fannish origins
So, I was pondering this issue when lsketch42 said some nice things about my SPN reviews and asked if I might consider doing them for WC. And it made me think more about the issue of viewing habits, canon scope, and fannishness.

rahirah | And y'know, that's just Spike fandom.
In the Beginning, there was Season One, and it had no Spike in it, so who cares?

Lo, did Season Two brake upon the TV horizon, and it had Spike, and it was good. And everyone was a Spike/Drusilla shipper, and peace did reigneth upon the land. Well, except for those troublemaking UC Spike/Angel and Spike/Buffy shippers, but they were usually up for a threesome and everyone knew they would never be canon anyway.

branchandroot | Partial redemption of Clow Reed
Okay, I think I may have a rationalization for Card Captor Sakura that does not make Clow Reed an utter bastard.

Because when you think about what he did to Yue, in particular, well... utter bastard, yes.

marina: The more things change
I've seen people say they feel like social issues are only a concern in their little corner of fandom, and they feel this does not reflect or affect the majority. I've been in online fandom for close to 12 years, and the little corner of social justice issues that I find myself in today did not exist 5-7 years ago. It's not that people weren't doing activism or speaking out about issues, not at all, but the kind of infrastructure, widespread support and awareness there is right now in fandom is very, very new. It's still a very small group, it's still restricted to certain areas, but the fact is, it didn't exist until recently, and with every year it's become more accepted and widespread, so I don't know why anyone would think it wasn't making a difference.

branchandroot | Steam, electricity, magic, and complexity
A comment in the recent batch of Tor blog posts on steampunk made me reflect on the insistence of one significant faction that steampunk must focus on the mechanical, not the electrical.

As though they were separate. As though the 19th C European technological types weren't all over electricity, and, in fact, magic.

hradzka | the Bechdel Test: mechanical approaches
There are a number of issues involved in why a lot of properties fail the Bechdel Test, but on the mechanical front I think two major issues are 1) Stock Roles and 2) Need for Contrast.

kaigou | damsel in transition
We all know (and likely loathe, at least given the posts I see go past from most of you) the damsel in distress: she does something stupid, gets captured/hurt, has to be saved by the hero, and usually ends up clinging to him. I've been browsing some of the manga that readers have classified (on reader-tagging database sites) as "strong female lead" or "strong female character", and I think we need an intermediary.

Something like, "female character damselfied by the author", or "damsel with fighter tendencies," for a less anti-author spin on it.

land of sharp pointy things - Ao3-based ficathons, or Penknife Experiments With Technology
One reason I wanted to do the little mini-ficathon I'm running right now was to have a chance to play with the Archive's tools for running ficathons (without having a hundred people involved when I inevitably screw something up), and so far I'm genuinely impressed.

The Girl Saves Boy Ficathon
Boy saves girl. It's a common plot point of TV, movies, books and even fanficition. Sometimes the boy saves the world as well as the girl, but it's usually not the other way around.

This ficathon is about the other way around. This is girl saves boy (and maybe the world too), a ficthon celebrating that women can damn well do some saving too - not just be saved.
