dreamer_easyAn illuminating essay from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ranalore on character vs archetypes in fan fiction. LJ has meant my proper introduction to metafandom, if that's the right word - fans of multiple texts who my move between and combine them (eg Harry Potter doujinshi). In Australia at least, Doctor Who fandom is an entity unto itself, with only tenuous connections to wider media or literary SF fandom, whereas here fandom comes first and texts second.
The Guardian asks: Why do we still fall for Mr Darcy?. Speaking of archetypes, he and Mr Rochester have something to do with Snape fan fiction.
It's that man again: behold, the first unofficial James Callis Web site.
I'll bet you've already heard of the remote that can turn off public TVs. I heard on the radio that there's now a thingy that can prevent all but emergency mobile phone calls in cinemas. We need one of those for the library, and also a device which causes the sudden demise of students using Hotmail on the research computers. Preferably not a messy demise, as the carpet is still new; perhaps something which leaves one smoking shoe as a warning to others.
