So the other day I posted some Supernatural meta flocked, because I was having a quiet day and I wasn't in the mood to be linked. I'm going to unlock it now because I don't actually think it's all that controversial and I wouldn't mind talking about it in a civil manner ( Read more... )

Okay, so I probably shouldn't be posting right now, because I am up to my eyeballs in work (I have 50-ish pages of paper[s] to write in the next two weeks) but I really needed to express the following. But I may not be able to get back to any resulting comments in a timely manner ( Read more... )

As many of you probably already know, Henry Jenkins, author of the book Textual Poachers, made a Blog Post a few days ago about the phenomenon of fanvids being posted on You Tube without the vidder's permission and spread throughout the rest of the "Mundane" internet world.

So I realize that my last post was a bit strident in tone, and I didn't mean to make people feel like I was pointing fingers--"You--homophobe--there," so I hope that that didn't happen.

A minor crisis was just averted that would have kept me from making this post. hommenerd was apparently in the apartment today while I was at work and managed to lock me out of the bedroom wherein lies my computer and all my clothes and my Tivo and everything else that matters. kittyzams gets props for keeping me calm on the phone while I swore and destroyed the ( Read more... )

No one cares but me, but this stuff was banging on the inside of my brain.

( Yes, I am going to babble about the L Word even though like 3 of you watch it, and there will be talk of Young Americans which even fewer of you have seen, and discussion of liminal hotness and probably Spike will make his way into it all, since that is what he does.
