Esteliel has very kindly created a Dark Prince Fanlore page for me.
I'll pretty much follow any-one who is fine with slash, loves Tolkien, (and the House of Finwë - I am thoroughly pro-Fëanor and his sons, although I love all that magnificent, tragic house, and detest most of the Valar). I write about 50% incest, so don't follow if you have a squick with that, please, though I don't post my fic on Tumblr.
I like peace and quiet, detest arguments, (I use that energy to write) and like decent, kind human beings. I'd love to live in Wales, between the mountains and the sea, just write, read, and walk.

Started a timeline of everything related to fandom and money, inspired by Amazon’s Kindle Worlds business. Additions welcome! I’ll be adding doujinshi-related incidents and other things from now on, mostly, but there’s still a ton of references lying around within fandom in pages like Filing Off The Serial Numbers that would fit into the timeline.

‘And telling and retelling stories, however we want to, is bigger even than a giant like Amazon. Fanfic existed before the internet and it will still be around when we live in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. After all, it’s created enough of them.’
READ THIS Gav wrote it while I screamed at her about Fanlib and franchise tie-ins and flailed a lot on twitter. A great summary of the many many problems with amazon’s new scheme to profit from fans writing fanfic.

The OTW Events Calendar for May includes a call for participants for a survey by researcher Lucy Neville. Here Lucy gives some more background about this survey and the research it will be used for.
I am a Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology at the University of Middlesex (this is me: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/staffdirectory/neville.aspx - you will find an overview of my qualifications, research interests and links to previous open-access research reports). I am also a writer (and appreciator!): of prose, poetry and slash (this is me: http://pouxin.livejournal.com/ - if you want to read any more of my writing, please send a friend request). I am currently carrying out an academic study into women’s involvement in sexually explicit m/m slashfic and gay erotica/pornography more generally. I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to complete the below survey.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14A61d7HpL3ojI2pzA07cHR1LhU4UiYJs-1wX5H9-BLg/viewform
What’s the research for?
