- You know, just about every time I post anything about writing, but especially if I post about increasing the visibility of women, queer culture, and people of color in literature, I get several of this kind of comment--and yes, I just got ANOTHER one on my Racefail post. by yuki-onn on January 7, 2010
- Updated responses both from Doug Cohen and from the art columnist who first suggested the showcase of women in fantasy art (a very different theme to 'fantasy art by women,' both of which are quite interesting) suggest that everyone involved in this issue had completely genuine intentions by tansyrr on January 7, 2010
- cassiphone talks more on the Realms of Fantasy special issue here. To be honest, I kinda lost interest in the entire discussion at the "girl writers" bit in the submissions guidelines so she makes a really good point on how the poor use of language and tone can get in the way of the spirit of your message. by girliejones on January 7, 2010
- The thing that makes him the most uncomfortable though is that female fans of the series openly approach me to talk about the series and how much they love it--and after gushing to me, they will 'see' him too, and try to talk to him. by wickedwords on January 11, 2010
- So the question was in relation to m/m romance and it was How Do I Know If I'm Getting it Right when it comes to writing gay characters? by gwailowrite on January 11, 2010
- My remarks about gay male critics was not intended to be an iteration of the tone argument. by logophilos on January 12, 2010
- Sparky made the point that "The history of women writers taking male psuedonyms is to overcome misogyny... They adopt a pseudonym not to adopt a viewpoint or appropriate a life experience they have not had, they are doing it to overcome prejudice." by logophilos on January 12, 2010
- Now let's postulate two more fans: Hypothetical Wheelchair User and Mary Sue Clueless. I do know what they think and how they feel, because I made them up. MSC tells her friend, "Hey, you should come to inCONvenient, it's a great con!" and HWU answers, "People in wheelchairs can't attend that con." by the-shoshann on January 12, 2010
- This column is an attempt to address the fact that I often use manga vocabulary I don't always explain when I write reviews or talk about manga in this forum. by Danielle Leigh on January 12, 2010
- I remembered why I stopped following this speeding failtrain. Ann Somerville continues to annoy me. Ever since Lambda Fail, the more I read about and by m/m writers, the less patience I have for these straight women by mothwing on January 12, 2010
- I have been staying away from the whole women writing m/m romance thing that's been all over metafandom and linkspam the past few days, but today I foolishly clicked on this post about female m/m writers using male pen names. by kanata on January 12, 2010
- Secret 141 from Secret Post #1098, in fact, blames Fandom (with a capital "F") as the inspiration to "sexualize everything." by artistbettyanne on yourthoughtson on January 13, 2010
- Festivids is a rare opportunity to do something we almost never get to do outside Vividcon. Collectively watch a wide variety of vids in one place at one time, many of which are in fandoms not our own. by fan-eunice on January 13, 2010
- I have this sort of theory why TW fandom blew up so spectacularly after CoE, and it has a lot to do with this slightly uneasy alliance between gay people and the straight part of slash fandom by solitary-summer on January 13, 2010
- Fandom - help make a movie by James Hamilton on January 13, 2010
- Everyone in fandom has a fan name. by wickedwords on January 13, 2010
- I've been seeing a lot more posts over the past several months about the, hmm, I think "misappropriation" is the buzzword of the day, of LGBT issues by straight slash fans. I' by bedawyn on January 13, 2010
- In the current round of -fail, we're talking about women* writing male/male erotica. by jonquil on January 13, 2010
- Should (straight/lesbian/etc) women be 'allowed' to write slash? by xtricks on January 13, 2010
- I went ego-deliciousing last night and found someone had written a blog entry about fan works as transformative, listing my Dollhouse vid She Walks as feminist critique and putting me in the company of a couple of vidders whose work I love and admire. by jmtorres on January 14, 2010
- Bayonetta: Wow, so uh. Last entry I posted a link to this article on Bayonetta, and it got a lot of opinions from my flist! by inverts on January 13, 2010
- Boston Celtics: Just Sayin': Mike Bibby, Bandwagon Fans, and Booin' by Brendan Jackson on January 13, 2010

- Inuyasha: I'm wondering if all of Sesshomaru's time with Rin (and now Kohaku!) will have changed his opinions on humans for the better. by the-sweet on January 13, 2010
- The Sentinel: We aren't going away, are we? I read a number of things talking about how TS is dying -- really dying, this time -- and hey, no? No? I'm not sure which I'm clutching harder in my thoughts -- all of you, or Jim and Blair. by t-verano on January 14, 2010
- Sherlock Holmes: I am sick of seeing Robert Downey Jr. gleefully declaring to talk show audiences that Holmes and Watson are gay, that Holmes is a butch queer, that he and Watson sleep in the same bed. by bookshop on January 12, 2010
- Sherlock Holmes: Today my grandfather was telling me about how they used to sell one Holmes story a week in booklet form for six annas, which converts to around 38 paise, outside VT Station, and how whole compartment-loads of commuters like him used to buy them to read on the trains home after work. by applegnat on January 9, 2010
- Sherlock Holmes: It was well-written, beautifully acted, raw in a way Holmes hasn't been in a long time, beautifully canon-compliant as well as canon-faithful (there's a difference, and the latter is more important), slashy as all get out WITHOUT being misogynistic (whew!), by thingswithwings on January 12, 2010
- Space: 1999 It's always September 13, 1999 somewhere on metafilter on January 13, 2010
- Steven King: Searching for Stephen King, A new biography presents facts but not a full story by DEIRDRE FULTON in the Portland Phoenix on January 13, 2010
- Supernatural: A few days ago, metafandom linked to this comic, by counteragent, about the Supernatural episodes with the slash fangirl subplot and the issue of outing fans. by vulgarweed on January 12, 2010
- Supernatural: A big problem I have here is how it is called meta by the creator, because that suggests that it's about making a point instead of being about pure entertainment. by anonymous-sibyl on January 13, 2010

- University of Arizona Icecats: Fans' loyal dedication all part of the show by Mike Schmitz in the Arizona Daily Wildcat on January 14, 2010
- Warcraft: This post pertains to the Warcraft fandom in general. For those of you who don't know what Warcraft is, think World of Warcraft, or barring that, think WarHammer fantasy with a little more steampunk, elf, and shameless cultural references. by the__ivorytower on yourthoughtson on January 13, 2010
- Privacy is dead on Facebook. Get over it. Cool kids don't care about privacy, claim CEOs. So, neither should you. by Helen A.S. Popkin on MSNBC.com on January 13, 2010

- But there is a solution. Just like you can follow a discussion by using the thumbtack, or just follow responses to one comment by using the thumbtack, you can follow a single tag by using the thumbtack, too. by tzikeh on January 12, 2010
