asylum_promo [ mugetsu ]	4:14a	Batman, The Joker, Vagrant Story, The Pirates of Dark Water fandom asylums octopon - Pirates of DarkWater fandom asylum. Completed! gotham_gazetteCompleted!</i> vagrant_story - Vagrant Story fandom asylum. WIP; will be deleted unless more interest is shown. And, Please feel free to join commedia; a personal project of mine, aiming to review and analyze comics (and other selected media) that feature DC Comics' The Joker. It is currently a WIP because I am still going through my 500+ hardcopy!issues collection. I do not download torrents/scans. I'd like to point out that currently I have two polls up for debate, as can be seen here explaining two routes the asylum's project can take. IE: spoiler free reviews, spoilerific reviews, and whatnot. =) Otherwise, the FAQ and The Rules are already up. The tags/memory post is still a WIP. I am also open to affiliating with other comic book and/or Batman related asylums, except for RPGs. Current Mood: full (Comment on this)

branchandroot	12:37p	How not to cross genres Genre crossing, when done well, can be a very effective storytelling technique, allowing the author to hit the reader with unexpected plot turns and presentation that is sufficiently unusual that it will make the reader think twice about the scene. Alas, when not done well all we get is a hot mess. Amano is currently demonstrating Not Well with Katekyou Hitman Reborn. This is especially a shame considering that her first cross went off very well. When she had written sixty issues of a gag manga, full of underwear shenanigans, and suddenly decided she wanted to write a serious, indeed dark in places, battle manga, she made the transition quite smoothly. The underwear phased out and was replaced in a plausible way, the change presented as a moment of personal development for our main character, such as we might expect in a good battle manga. The initial premise, that our hero is slated to inherit a mafia family, offered plenty of material for a darker turn. So far so good. The next two and a half arcs were a marvelous sweep of fast-paced action with personal development and growth for the whole ensemble of characters. And then we hit the bump. Possibly even the shark. Somewhere, for some reason, the decision was made to extend the Future arc with a new set of villains, and the storytelling fell apart. The pace jinked and faltered, new characters got no background or development, the fights were truncated and disappointing compared to the intense confrontations of previous arcs, and even the first half of the Future arc. Worst of all, Amano turned back to the gag genre, and, at this juncture, failed to make it work. This is most evident in our hero, Tsuna. Tsuna has always flailed a lot, to be sure, but less so as time went on; indeed, when he came to the future, the pressure of events and responsibility seemed to wash the flailing out of him and push him toward a more mature presentation even when he isn't wrapped up in Dying Will. With this latest turn, however, the flailing is suddenly back to early levels, to the extent that his weapon reflects it and allies comment on it. The plot provides us with no explanation for this. This is characteristic of the gag genre: character development is neither necessary nor, in most cases, desired. The character quirks that are used for gags must remain constant, and the nature of the genre is such that readers are usually willing to suspend any disbelief and accept them, however implausible. It's part of the genre expectations. The genre expectation of a battle manga, and especially a serious one, is that characters will develop, both technically and emotionally. Sudden backsliding of personal development needs some kind of cause or explanation. As I said at the beginning, these expectations can be crossed, if it is done well. Many battle manga use brief gag moments to break tension; bathroom humor is a favorite. Even the development of the hero can be let to fail briefly, for the sake of increasing dramatic tension. But if the audience is not to reject that tactic, it must be framed, supported, explained in some way--it must be presented as a dramatic moment, in order to be accepted as such. Tsuna's reversion is not. Hence my fear that Amano has no clue where she's going with the current sub-arc and has fallen back on her roots because she is at a complete loss. If this is due to editorial pressure, to draw out the Future arc more, I hope someone kicks that editor in the teeth soon. If it is due to Amano losing her grip on the story, paging editor!Reborn, please. In either case, the current issues are a fine example of how not to do it. (Comment on this)

metafandom [ fairestcat ]	12:23p	Wednesday, November 4, 2009 emeraldsword: random fic editing query - What is the etiquette of rewriting/re-editing fic after posting? Is there any? Do you all feel deceived if you go back to an old favourite and find that the author has amended the text since the last time you read? Do you even notice? - (tags: writing editing archiving etiquette fanfic question) accioslash: Thirty Days of Spam...Day 2 - Fic and art clearly aren't treated the same by fandom when it comes to unauthorized re-posting. Seriously, how long do you think I could actually keep up a site with a re-post of a popular fan fic with the notation "I don't know who wrote this, but if it's yours, let me know and I'll credit you." But I see that with art all the time. - (tags: fanart icons) ladydreamer: Easy Out - I've heard producers and writers often talking about how flattering it is that fans can get so angry at them about what they've done on a television show or a movie, and how it's an ultimate compliment in a way, since what they want to do is move the audience, to make them feel intense emotions. Any emotion is good, right? - (tags: fandom fanfic tptb) (Comment on this)
selenak	8:51a	Yuletide! Yuletide sign-ups have begun! I took the plunge and joined this year. Found out there were some more fandoms I could offer without having to refresh my memory by research because I had watched/read the source material only recently. (And even written meta about them!) On the other hand, I discovered that there are several German fandoms on the offering this year - Karl May's Winnetou novels, Michael Ende's Momo and Perry Rhodan (aka our longest running pulp Sci Fi series), and I felt a bit bad for not signing up for any of them, considering that Karl May was literally the first writer I ever read (Dad & my grandfather were fans and told me tales, so the first year in school, once I could read, I grabbed Winnetou I) and I still have a nostalgic fondness for those books, I do love Michael Ende and PR is a case of childhood & teenage nostalgia again. But the thing is, a) I'd have to reread because it's been so many years, and I just don't have the time, real life strikes again, and b) it would feel weird to me to write in English for these fandoms. Because I do hear the narrative voice and the characters in German in my head, you know? It's not so much that I first encountered them in German - I saw all Star Trek shows dubbed before I saw them in the English original, for example, and these characters do have their English-language voices in my head - it's probably that I can't imagine how they would sound in English at all. Especially Karl May's earnest Wilhelminian prose. Wie der Westman zu sagen pflegt. But if someone else were to try, that would be awesome. Anyway. The list of requested and offered fandoms so far is here, and if even half of this gets written, it should be fantastic reading for the holidays. As for my own requests, this is as good a place as any to write the obligatory letter to the gracious soul who'll fulfill one of them. Dear Yuletide Writer, first of all, thank you! I hope you'll find one of the prompts to your liking. If you want to go in another direction with the characters, by all means, as long as nobody gets bashed and those I indicated show up in a prominent fashion. As for the shipping level, I leave that to your discretion - gen, het or slash is all fine by me. (Mind you, if, say, you pick the B5 prompt and come up with an X-Rated Bester/G'Kar/Londo threesome instead of a gen encounter I would be... surprised, but if that's what tickles your fancy and you can pull it off in character, go you!) Generally speaking, I'm an ensemble fan; listing some characters but not others doesn't mean I dislike the rest in the respective fandom, it's just an indication of focus preference. I also appreciate when something of the world buliding makes it into the fanfic - for example, Rome was really good at getting the different belief systems and cultural backgrounds across, and A place of greater safety really manages to be about the French Revolution as well as about individual participants. (Considering that as a writer I'm far better at dialogue and character exploration than at a decent plot or atmospheric descriptions, I'm all the more in awe of people who excell at the later two.) Which doesn't mean that if you choose to write a sonnet instead of a 2000 words long adventure, I wouldn't be thrilled as well. Again, thanks so much for signing up!

thete1	12:24a	THANK YOU! OMG, Mystery Fangirl is all paid back and I'm so weebly that I just can't deal. Yes, weebly. So, in thanks for all that you -- and you, and you, and also *you*! -- have done, I'm offering snippets. I'm actually working on four different stories right now and so won't be able to do them immediately, but I promise to try. Rules: DC or Malazan Book of the Fallen. I might be able to manage a Buffyish thing here or a Marvelish thing there, but odds are waaaaay low on that. You can pick one of my icons, or give me a three- or four-word prompt, or two or three character names, or whatever you'd like. Note: I'm about to add a Roy icon to the mix, so keep that in mind. :D No, you don't have to have contributed to ask for a snippet, but if you *did* contribute, I really hope you *will* ask, even if it turns out I can't manage it. *hugs you ALL* From Mystery Fangirl: "I only hope that you all feel like incredibly, wonderfully, extraordinarily kind and virtuous people because that's what you are. None of you had a reason to help me but you did. I will always be grateful." Current Mood: full Current Music: Sufjan Stevens: "Dear Mr. Supercomputer" (2 Comments |Comment on this)

otw_news [ francescacoppa ]	8:37p	Links of Potential Interest to Vidders From the business section of the Guardian this week: Google seeks to turn a profit from YouTube copyright clashes. The article's subtitle gives you the gist: "Group is working to persuade music and video companies to cash in rather than clamp down when their content is uploaded." In short, Google wants to use their content fingerprinting system to report uses--even transformed uses--to copyright holders and then to offer them the chance to put ads on user-generated content. There's lots wrong with that, but perhaps the wrongest is the idea that the companies have the right to take things down because "because the use does not fit the original's values." C'mon, Google! Don't be evil! In brighter news, UK Will Urge EC To Legalise Mashups, Format-Shifting, Content Sharing. This "could include legalising more outright copying, the creation of sound/image mashups, format-shifting and sharing material with family and friends." Relatedly, folks seem to be figuring out that the DVR isn't actually the death of commercial television and that so-called "music pirates" actually buy more music. While we've heard this song before, optimistically copyright holders will eventually figure out that they shouldn't be afraid of new technologies. Mirrored from an original post on the OTW Blog.
selenak	12:14p	Brush up your Byron: featuring satire, politics and Lucifer/Michael slash So here I was, reading something looking back on the Bush years, when a quote from Byron about George III. nagged in my mind, which I always thought to be the best summary of W. I looked up The Vision of Judgment, and there indeed it was. It also reminded me of something else, namely, how immensely readable much of Byron's work is still today, and what a shame it is most people, if they think of him at all, think "brooding, woe is me poet" (meaning they think of what's usually described as the Byronic hero), without having read much of him. Not that he couldn't also write "woe is me" stuff, but the majority of his work is quite different. So: some reasons why Byron is still worth reading, by ways of quote to prove my point. I'll start with The Vision of Judgment, which is one of those few political satires that survive their immediate application. (The problem with contemporary political satires being that if you read them a hundred, two hundred, or even only fifty years later, you often go "huh? Who? What?" and don't get the jokes because you're lacking the context.) In this case, the context was that George III (he of "The madness of", he of the American Revolution) finally died in his old age, after having lost reason and power years ago, and the Prince Regent became George IV. The Poet Laureate of the time, Robert Southey, did the Laureate thing and wrote a poem called "The Vision of Judgment" in which good old George is rushed to heaven and his virtues are praised to the extreme. This proved a welcome opportunity for Byron, who despised a) Southey and b) the monarchy, to let rip, and write a poem bearing the same title and the same plot - old George dies, shows up in front of the pearly gates, etc. - and use it for some acidly funny verses. Which, as mentioned before, can be applied to certain contemporary presidents very well indeed. Which brings me to the reasons for reading Byron, as demonstrated by one particular work of his. I. He's sharp and to the point without being cheap when dealing with politics This is from Lucifer making his case, and as I said, might as well serve as the epitaph of a current day George: "'Tis true, he was a tool from first to last (I have the workmen safe); but as a tool So let him be consumed. (...) Whose History was ever stained as his will be With national and individual woes? I grant his household abstinence; I grant His neutral virtues, which most monarchs want I know he was a constant consort; own He was a decent sire, and middling lord. All this is much, and most upon a throne; As temperance, if at Apicius' board, Is more than at an anchorite's supper shown. I grant him all the kindest can accord; And this was well for him, but not for those Millions who found him what Oppression chose. The New World shook him off; the Old yet groans Beneath what he and his prepared, if not Completed (...) II. He's witty when he's mean Satan's not the only one voicing Byron's dislike for the monarchy. So does St. Peter, remembering the last king who showed up, the beheaded Louis XVI. "No," quoth the Cherub: "George the Third is dead." "And who is George the Third?" replied the apostle: "What George? what Third?" "The King of England," said The angel. "Well! he won't find kings to jostle Him on his way; but does he wear his head? Because the last we saw here had a tustle, And ne'er would have got into Heaven's good graces, Had he not flung his head in all our faces. "He was — if I remember — King of France; That head of his, which could not keep a crown On earth, yet ventured in my face to advance A claim to those of martyrs — like my own: If I had had my sword, as I had once When I cut ears off, I had cut him down; But having but my keys, and not my brand, I only knocked his head from out his hand. "And then he set up such a headless howl, That all the Saints came out and took him in; And there he sits by Saint Paul, cheek by jowl; That fellow Paul — the parven—! The skin Of Saint Bartholomew, which makes his cowl In heaven, and upon earth redeemed his sin, So as to make a martyr, never sped Better than did this weak and wooden head. III. He's subversive with relationships and expectations My favourite example of this is actually Don Juan, wherein the titular hero isn't a manly man and macho seducer but an androgynous-looking 18 years old who becomes everyone's boy toy. When this Juan ends up in a harem - that old heterosexual fantasy - it's because he's in disguise as a woman and gets fancied as a woman not just by the Sultan but by several of the harem girls. But The Vision of Judgment also has a great example, because Byron ships Michael/Lucifer as if he was Mike Carey and instead of letting them be enemies emphasizes their mutual affection and regret about their current political differences all over the place. Also he's witty about it: And therefore Michael and the other wore A civil aspect: though they did not kiss, Yet still between his Darkness and his Brightness There passed a mutual glance of great politeness. IV. He has a genuine dislike against jingoism and war Mind you, Byron wasn't immune to the occasional heroic posturing. But during the Napoleonic Wars, he had the deeply unfashionable view that it was a senseless butchery from both sides. And for all his fondness for satire, those verses are deeply serious, underlining something that continues to appeal about Byron, as opposed to the clichés about him - for all his egocentricity, he had a deep respect for human life: So many Conquerors' cars were daily driven, So many kingdoms fitted up anew; Each day, too, slew its thousands six or seven, Till at the crowning carnage, Waterloo, They threw their pens down in divine disgust— The page was so besmeared with blood and dust. This by the way; 'tis not mine to record What Angels shrink from: even the very Devil On this occasion his own work abhorred, So surfeited with the infernal revel: Though he himself had sharpened every sword, It almost quenched his innate thirst of evil. (Here Satan's sole good work deserves insertion— 'Tis, that he has both Generals in reversion.) V. He's immensely entertaining when being bitchy about the competition. Robert Southey was in his time as famous as the other two of the early romantics, Wordsworth and Coleridge, but today is remembered for mainly two things - writing a patronizing letter to the young Charlotte Bronte that poetry wasn't really for women, and being mercilessly skewered by Byron in The Vision of Judgment. Which ends with Southey himself ending up as a witness, trying to read his poetry to everyone and causing such boredom and abhorrence in the listeners that George III manages to slip into heaven in everyone's hasty departure unnoticed. So here's Byron describing the reading: Now the bard, glad to get an audience, which By no means often was his case below, Began to cough, and hawk, and hem, and pitch His voice into that awful note of woe To all unhappy hearers within reach Of poets when the tide of rhyme's in flow; But stuck fast with his first hexameter, Not one of all whose gouty feet would stir. But ere the spavined dactyls could be spurred Into recitative, in great dismay Both Cherubim and Seraphim were heard To murmur loudly through their long array; And Michael rose ere he could get a word Of all his foundered verses under way, And cried, "For God's sake stop, my friend! 'twere best— 'Non Di, non homines' — you know the rest." Current Mood: nerdy (Comment on this)

thete1	9:30p	Help? More than a year ago, my computer was hit with several thousand virus files at once. I still don't know how that happened, but the upshot was that, even after reformatting my computer, nothing worked. It forgot it had a sound card and would crash every couple of hours no matter what I did or didn't do. The sheer number of times I lost parts of stories... well, that's enough of that. I salvaged what I could from the machine and went begging. And one particular fan stepped up and helped me out. I can't share her name -- she really wants to stay private -- but she went out of her way to find me a new computer. One that *works*. Now she -- we -- need your help. I have the computer and I'm using the ever-loving *hell* out of it, but the fangirl in question is out over four hundred dollars. I'm asking for your help. Even if you can only afford a few dollars, it would be vastly appreciated. I don't know how to thank her for what she did for me, and I don't know how to thank all of you who choose to participate in this. But I'm damned well gonna try and *keep* trying. Thank you.

asylum_promo [ rose_nylon ]	5:31p	Hi There. Hello all, What a year it's been. All I can seem to think to say is, 'Wow'. Some of these most extraordinary things have happened and I'm not even sure where to begin. It's all happened so fast and the only thing I've realized is how out of touch with things I've become. Oh, not that I'm old and it's one of those generational gap things, not at all. I'm just...I'm not sure how I can explain it. People in the world today are so different in their views, they seem to think that everything happening is new or some how unique. Bad guys getting away with the loot, politicians acting like children, world gone mad, freedoms being experienced for the very first time, it's all so much to take in. It's little wonder we're starting to question, well, everything. The saying goes, I think, 'these are the times that try men's souls'. I don't know about men's, but mine is sure feeling a little used. See, I made a little joke. It's what some people do when they're nervous and not quite sure what to say. Guess it just helps to have someone to say it to. Do you need someone to talk to? I've got a free ear and some cheese cake. Thanks for listening, Rose Nylund, ask_rose (4 Comments |Comment on this)
