ESSAY POST
You know, I've done enough essays and rants I decided I'd make a master list of them as well -- mostly for my convinience. Looking back through my journal I'd forgotten I'd written some of this stuff.
COMMENTARY/RANTS and WHATEVER!
(Hey it was funny at the time)
FMA RELATED
Directors Commentary on my fic NEED Very spoilery, so read the fic first.
Thoughts on Episode 42 Scar loses and arm and gains a plot-hole.
What Kind of a Military is FMA Running> FMA vs Real World Military.
Alphonse Elric is SOOOO UKE A look at Al's surprising submissiveness.
Velvet Maces Big Movie (un)Spoiler parody based off of looking at movie posters and listening to my f-list squee and NOTHING ELSE (I wouldn't see the movie for another 8 months) The movie as it SHOULD have gone.
Post movie watching Parody (incomplete - dang, I should have written more…) The movie as it DID go.
WRITING COMMENTARY, ADVICE and RANTS
Why fandom needs badfic.
Format, Paragraphs and Pacing: All the Boring Crap that Makes a Fic Readable Yeah. Pretty much that.
V.M.'s Mary-Sue detector A bit different from most, but imho more accurate, too. Is your OC really a Sue, or just a good old fashioned orriginal character with a high IQ, angsty past and long flowing plaid hair?
Vel's Guide to Non-cringeworthy Sex. Is your PWP TMI?
EVIL!!!! Evil comes in many forms. Some of them are just dumb.
Welcome to Yaoiland Rant on yaoi clichés in manga and doujin.
Why Hobbits are Sexier than Elves Sample IC Elf porn vs Sample IC Hobbit porn. I rest my case.
