This is an ~30-minute episode of a Vox podcast called “Today Explained.” There is a transcript.

”How fan fiction went mainstream: The community that underpins Heated Rivalry, explained” by Danielle Hewitt and Noel King

It’s a pretty good intro to fanfic and how it’s become something publishers and creators of TV/movies pay attention to. They interview Francesca Kappa, a co-founder of the Organization for Transformative Works, which created AO3.

Things I learned and some bits I liked:
  • AO3 was created in part to prevent commodification of fanfiction and the social connections it facilitates.
  • “one of the projects that I worked on in the early days of the OTW organization for transformative works was that we were being contacted by women in their 70s and 80s who were like having to move in with their kids or going into nursing homes and they had like 3,000 fan fiction zines.”
  • It was claimed that AO3 is “much bigger than Wikipedia.” I’m not sure what metrics they’re using to come up with that.
  • [AO3 is] “structurally unenshittifiable” because “we don’t have customers and we’re not a business.”
  • (Discussing copyright) “it would have been terrible if Shakespeare had to, like, negotiate with Netflix for the right to Hamlet and then didn't get it. Like, that's the world we live in, right? We're like, Netflix owns Hamlet, it has a five-year option, Shakespeare really has a great idea for it, but like, no, I'm really sorry because JJ. Abrams is going to do Hamlet.”
    (I need to know which circle of Hell shows JJ Abrams’s Hamlet on repeat, because I really want to avoid it.)

Want to practice pixel art more, so I was thinking of doing some animated pixel icons for use on Dreamwidth.

To start, I'm thinking a series of pixel books, each with a different theme and animated elements.  I made this first one to test the idea:



Floral theme, with an animated enchanted flower. ݁˖ ❀ ⋆。˚

Think I like the idea!  Going to start on some more.

This week I...

Got [community profile] rimworld up and running!  This is a new community I made for one of my favorite video games of all time. ♥ There's a discussion post up right now on what we'd like from the next expansion!

Posted my cooking bingo to [community profile] veg_life!

Posted a cool Dead by Daylight screenshot to [community profile] hold_x_to_run ...and afterwards, noticed that the mod had previously declared the community to be shut down, whoops.  Personally I think there is still use on DW for a horror video game community if anybody wants to make a replacement!

Recced Magic the Noah over on [community profile] youtuberecs!

And posted a Spirit City screenshot to [community profile] girlgamers!

Aaaand, I didn't post there this week, but I HAVE been posting in [community profile] watchpoint_gibraltar.  Overwatch added five new heroes and the game is kind of good again??

Book bingo updates.

Filters?!

Yooooo okay so I just discovered the power of filters here on DW.  These things are great!  This is going to make my reading page so much easier to go through!

How are y'all using filters?  By fandom?  By type of content people post?

Right now, as first iteration, I'm separating people into like "gamers" and "writers" for example.  But of course then what do you do if someone is both an avid gamer and a writer?  Do you put them in both filters even though that creates a redundancy, or do you pick one for them even though that is less accurate?

Or is it more useful to mainly use filters for categorizing communities instead of individual journals?
