(Or, Is Tumblr changing fandom etiquette?)In my experience, it’s common fandom etiquette to link* to, or at least _mention_, the prompt/outline/snippet/etc. that inspired your fic ( Read more... )

I need a “Does the PoC die” website. It kills my enjoyment when there’s an awesome PoC that I like, only to have them die =( =( =(

In terms of remixee happiness, my latest remix was a resounding success. In terms of my own remixing satisfaction, I feel that I've made a n00b mistake.
