Bless you! You know, I have no idea. I'm pretty bloody clueless about how all this works. But thank you for the offer! (I'm very much enjoying making audiofic, although I somewhat repine for the rather more professional setup with my parents actual Mac; my MacBook makes a bit of a whirring noise, and is more liable to get suddenly pounced on by the cat. (Who is, in fact, fond of lurking behind the screen, with head poking out of one side and feet out of the other. Although at the moment he's playing some crazy cat game of peekaboo, where he springs out from behing the screen and tags my hand while I type. He isn't very good at being sneaky, as it turns out, but he's VERY funny. And when I retaliated he pretty much levitated in shock at being tagged by the hand that types!!!)

I still haven't been able to get over the bad production values of the origina (Sentinel)l, no matter how good the writers are.

I'm with you, Theo, but I sat through just enough of it to get happily engrossed in the fanfic, while not quite enough to give my eyes rolly-strain.

Me. I've never done anything like that, but I want to help the writers and have no cash. So.

I've signed up this time too, under ailleann23.

And now I think I need to go bid for Fay.

Of course today I saw a couple of anti-slash gen writers (absolutely anti-slash, not just gen-preferring) boggling at the concept that there could be some latent misogyny in slash circles. Not just boggling, mocking the very idea.

... I am so glad you did not link. Links tempt me to click, even when I should know better.

Yes, that was definitely one for your list.

... is the community of relatively sane, socially-aware critical-thinking fans really that small? Because... dude. Some days I feel like there's about six voices crying in the wilderness, and that's it.

Yes?

I made the mistake of following links today (not even about anything serious or worth getting up in arms about, but about baby/kidfic, and I found the assumptions in the post and comments to be ignorant and more than slightly insulting, as both a parent and someone who has written it, but mostly as a parent, because dude, I'm pretty much the same person I was pre-kid), so I'm going to go with yes.

I'd forgotten about this -- even though I didn't write anything for Yuletide this year, I've gotten three comments in the last month on my Wonderfalls story from... two years ago??

It might have shown up on the Yuletide Story of the Day, Emily.

I don't think so. I usually watch that. But possible.

Here I was thinking it was just so good...

(Joking!)
