I have to say, fandom is getting very good at getting on top of wanks and providing handy summary posts complete with links.

On how the Warnings debate blew up

And also, wasn't expecting to feel so personally disappointed in writers whose fic I've previously enjoyed. To quote one commenter Stop being dicks people I like and respect!





- Can no longer justify every waking second spent obsessing about Star Trek, Sweet Charity deadline LOOMING.
- Re-emergence of other interests and necessity of allocating limited time means that fics that don't catch my interest in the first page get abandoned. Too much to get through.
- Enough time has passed that clear tropes have emerged. I don't care how well written the fic is, the first time the author refers to Kirk as a slut or a manwhore or any variation thereof, I am GONE. Also, I don't even DARE open a fic that has McCoy's ex-wife in it. There was one fic where even the TITLE was offensive, something like Five Times Kirk Wanted to Choke a Bitch and One Time the Bitch got Served.
- Sorry, I'm just not that into Kirk/McCoy, so I'm now being way picky. Having said that, the amount of K/Mc fics being put out is HUGE - my latest batch of recs I'm accumulating is about half K/Mc fics so far.

Yes, really. I'd consider all the things you listed, even the ones I have no interest in, more worthwhile than spending one's time making screencaps of blog posts in case someone decides to remove them. Do these people who are doing screencaps of everything also walk around constantly with voice recorders in case anyone says anything they want to bring up later?

"Hold people to account for their actions"? Their "actions" are just comments in a blog. Posting a blog is like having a physical diary and showing it to people. You can shut it (or part of it) any time you like. And, you know, sometimes it's better that way.
