Discussion space - the floor is yours...

Potential points to consider (not exhaustive, just to get you going):
Does the fact that you'll never get 'jossed' again make you feel more adventurous about what you might write?

How will you feel if your ship is firmly put out of action once and for all by death or dismembement or any other means? Will you ignore the canon and soldier blithely on, or will you bow to the will of JKR and move on?

Does the looming of The End mean you are considering your own place in the HP fandom? Do you still want to keep going even when there is no official new material coming out? Is there a difference between the closing of canon from a book source as opposed to a visual media source?

Do you think there will be any restructuring in the fandom as a result? What form do you thing it will take.

Discussion space - the floor is yours...

Potential points to consider (not exhaustive, just to get you going):

Your show is cancelled. Do you cling or move on?

If you stay, what can you do to keep people's interest in the show alive? Run challenges? Hold viewing parties? RPG?

How do you bring new people into a fandom that's got nothing new to offer in terms of canon? How do you keep them there?

Do your own feelings towards the show change over time given increasing distance from the heady days of when you got a new episode every week to when the new shinies start to look increasingly attractive? What can you do about that? Do you want to do anything about it?

HEY EVERYBODY! Welcome to [livejournal.com profile] rat_jam weekend!!

Guess what! [livejournal.com profile] revbiscuit has made a DS vid special for [livejournal.com profile] rat_jam! (It's fantastic -- I keep watching it over and over -- and it's her first vid ever which blows my mind a little.)

We'll be opening the chatroom for the Viewing Party in about an hour, so in the meantime, check this out!

*puts on Kermit-the-Frog hat*

And now...to get you ready for 38 hours of viewing festivities, allow me to present the lovely and amazing [livejournal.com profile] revbiscuit!! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!! \o/


...


Greetings, fellow rat_jammers. I am [livejournal.com profile] revbiscuit. I just wanted to say thank you for all the fics and vids I've enjoyed since I discovered fandom. In this spirit, I offer you my very first vid.

If you like it, go and thank the lovely [livejournal.com profile] lipstickcat, and especially the ever-so-patient [livejournal.com profile] taverymate, who gave me such comprehensive feedback that if I knew where she lived I'd send her my weight in chocolate. If it's a load of pants, it's because I either couldn't or didn't follow their advice. Needless to say feedback of any kind will be most welcome.

Music: Learning to Fly by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
Fandom: due South - Spoilers for the whole show.
Pairing: F/K, F&V friendship.
Summary: A journey of discovery (with bizarre stunts).

Download .wmv file (14.6Mb) from here or, if you prefer, you can stream it at my imeem page.

Just a word of warning: It does this little 'skip' thing with the title if you view it with VLC player. I have no idea why that is or how to fix it, but once it gets past the first second or so, it seems to be fine.


eta: Yes, this is the right post for leaving feedback on the vid for [livejournal.com profile] revbiscuit! Please comment & tell her how awesome she is!! \o/

Potential points to consider (not exhaustive, just to get you going.):

What's new in dS fandom these days? Pairings? Genres? Comms?

Where does the impetus come from and why?

How does dS manage to retain such a loyal fan following?

Is dS fandom really a shiny place to be or do old divisions still lurk? What impact does this have on new people finding the show/fandom?

From Ten Seconds of Screentime to Ten Thousand Fanfics: How and Why Some Secondary Characters Take On a Life of Their Own

Possible points to consider (not exhaustive, just to get you going):

1. The inaccessability of non-obvious smut--where's the payoff?
2. Is our embarassment on this directed by our perceived notion of gender roles, given that fandom is possibly a mostly female space?

Potential points to consider:

What gets your goat when you read dialogue? Is it different for different fandoms, different characters? Why is that?

What, to you, is authentic dialogue? Where can you find it?

How do you feel about ellipses? Do people really talk in full sentences the whole time?

How do you feel about people representing accent or dialect in dialogue? What works for you and what doesn't?

Does the wrong turn of phrase or choice of word for a character throw you out of the story?

Do people have more trouble writing characters from other cultures? Is this just a matter of idiom or is there more to it?
