It goes like this: Leave a comment and I will pick three of your interests and three of your icons. Post them in your journal and explain them to me. If you'd like, allow others to comment and request the same.
Forthwith,plantgirl's choices:
( Three interests )
( Four Icons )
(Wondering why I'm hanging out and dong memes on a weekday morning? The assistant needs this evening off, so I'm on the late shift. It's not so bad; I have a meeting until 7:30 pm anyway.)

A couple of articles on fic stuff
May. 24th, 2007 11:10 pm1. Cory Doctorow column entitled "In Prase of Fanfic"; cesperanza writes a post in praise of Cory Doctorow's column. Doctorow hits all the right points I think: fic writers are your best fans, it's a great way to become a better writer, this is all part of a much longer tradition, etc. Maybe nothing new, but I found it to be unusually concise and well-put.
2. Henry Jenkins, fan culture academic extraordinare, weighs in on FanLib. Not so much regarding whether the archive is a good idea, but about the fandom reaction and why the company blundered so badly when they tried to deal with it. Good summation, thoughtful and well-written. At the end of the artice, he invites the CEO of FanLib to be interviewed, and Williams accepts. Interesting, and a bit troubling, that the CEO, who has been so reluctant to get engaged in dialogue with (female, "countercutlure") fans, is so happy to talk to a (male, establishment figure) academic. Some good discussion and questions in the comments.
