Hi! I spam you all with completely content-less posts lately because uhhh... yeah, that thing I mentioned before about not doing anything except rewatch Honey and Clover? Still true (though I made it to swing dancing).
hecatehatesthat on racism and Friday Night Lights (I can't really comment on the issues raised, as I have yet to see the show, but I figured the people here who are watching might be interested!)
cupidsbow has a fascinating essay on feminism and fanfic, as informed by Joanna Russ' How to Suppress Women's Writing.
ETA: with an interesting follow-up post by
ellen_fremedon on authorship and fanfic- Finally (and you thought you had escaped!),
rilina has a spoiler-free pimping post on why she loves Honey and Clover and
vonnie_k supplies gorgeous screencaps from the series.
