Anya ,'Get It Done'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Word on all Dana's comments. My god, how HARD is it to understand fic? It's like going into a bookstore and not understanding shelves are alphabetized by author.
Feh. t insert here canned rant on how all fic is not slash, all slash is not porn, there's plenty of porny het fic as well as PG-rated adventure stories blah blah fishcakes
Also, still quoting Textual Poachers and Enterprising Women? Someone so needs to write the definitive study of internet-based ficdom.
There's a marvelous LJ post here about fanfiction and legality.

Looks pointedly at Consuela, Dana, Nutty and Shrift
I thought the article was fair and, being broad and general, got the gist of it. Any complaints of inaccuracy are the same you'd hear from any group being reported on from the outside. It's the difference between the way Riot Grrrl was reported on in the major media and the way the zines themselves discussed it. There will never be an article that gets it entirely right until an insider - again with the pointed looking - writes it.
Dude, I tried. At least, I tried Salon. Someone give me other suggestions of where to pitch it, and I will try again.
Yeah. Somebody pitch and write the contract and give me a deadline, I'll write the fricken thing. Not that, really, I feel the need to explain myself to others, but better I than some dope offa the street.

Utne Reader? (Which is actually now just Utne, which I find disconcerting.) Might be a good market.
They had a fairly crappy article about it just last summer. Spring? Anyway, recently enough not to want to do it again, I think.
Looked at Utne. They tend to publish summaries of articles that have already appeared somewhere else. Or something like that.
did we ever find any Magneto/Wolverine?
If you're looking for movie Magneto/Wolverine, I couldna find squat. Comicverse Magneto/Wolverine is slightly more doable, only you have to, uh, be up on the whole Erik/Joseph/Magneto (NOT a threesome) whackjob thing with Rogue, and maybe even then only get it via an actual threesome of Joseph/Rogue/Logan.

Oh, bugger. Haven't I got enough to do? I'm trying to write a happy gay romance, here.
Although, I was seriously tempted to write an article theorizing about the existence of mpreg... but since they've done it on Enterprise, not so much.
Nah, I think I'll just finish reading The Female Eunuch and write my happy gay romance.
