Why and how I rec, links to observations on fandom

[darkkitten1]

Here are two neat discussions of fandom in general:

Fandom as a part-time job with benefits in prillalar's journal

Fandom as all things to all people in movies_michelle's journal, which I found through metablog. Her theory of two very opposite types of fan is intriguing

I like your guide! And now I know more about what fic you like. It's always interesting to find that out -- gives some insight into someone generally, I think.

Aha, we are mind twins! I'll be paying close attention to your recs. Also, great icon.

Word. To everything, really, except that I also like what you dislike. :D That even includes mpreg - usually I steer clear of it and gag when I accidentally run across it, but did you read that dark Snape/Harry fic with a pregnant Dumbledore? I think mctabby linked to it awhile ago; it wasn't half bad.

(Am friending you, too, because you seem to be a really cool person. Hopefully the feeling will be mutual.)
