Perusing metafandom lately, it looks like another round of Slash Vs. The Universe is on. Sigh. Oh, well, I guess it takes one of the Old Strong Wanks to break the grip of OTW on the fannish zeitgeist.
Several of the posts muse upon why het is so very, very icky. In my […]

Let’s Talk About Sex: Slayer and Vampire Genetics in the Barbverse
Posted in Fic discussion, Writing, meta on Dec 26th, 2007
Some time back, I posted a short thingy about how live vampire/Slayer/human interbreeding works in the Barbverse. However, I posted it in the comments of a post about something else entirely, and since some questions have come up about the subject, I thought I’d go back, dig the original information out of said comments, and […]
Boldthrough musings
Posted in Blogging, Other fannish, Strikethrough07, meta on Aug 6th, 2007
Dozens of people more well-informed than I have posted about this already, but I think it’s important, so:
The issue, for me at least, is not whether or not the pictures in question were child pornography. Given my layman’s understanding of the law regarding child pornography, they are not, and LJ is not claiming that […]

I really did not need more drama this weekend.
Regarding the Boldthrough Brouhaha, I’ve seen everything on my flist from “The jackbooted LJ thugs are coming for us now! Flee!” to “At last, the filthy pedophiles are getting what they deserve!” Probably the most comprehensive collection of links is here:

Cakeus interruptus

::is inordinately fond of new icon::
I poured a glass of milk to go with my cake and then knocked it off the table with my elbow. Spilling the milk, breaking the glass, and generally ruining the cake-eating experience. Therefore, I post in milkless grumpitude.
Once upon a time I belonged to a private e-mail […]
Again, feel free to pimp this elsewhere if you like, and thanks for playing our home game!
This is for my metathon post, which is sneaking up on me apace.
If anyone can link me to good, SHORT fic featuring any of these pairings (unfortunately as I’ve put this off, I won’t have time to read a lot of epics) I would be grateful. I figure I can find all the quality […]
It’s all cat macros from here
Posted in Fic discussion, meta on Jun 30th, 2007
Someone asked why I would read something I didn’t like. This is a good question. Mostly, I don’t. But occasionally I do. Sometimes it’s accidental - I can’t always tell if I’ll like a story before clicking. Sometimes it’s an inevitable consequence of trying to find what I do like […]
You know what?

entrenous88 is a good person and a good writer, and I have made her angry and sad. I apologise.
I suck.
I need to go away for awhile.
If anyone out there has a link to the essay on first, second, third etc. wave slash which was being discussed on metafandom about…six months ago, I think? could you please link me up? I’ve been googling and I can’t find anything relevant.
