• gabrielleabelle: Memo - But just cause you like something, doesn't mean that there aren't problems with it. Hell, every show ever made has problems with it. It's not a reflection on the quality of the show. Just on how the show stands up in the social issues department. -

• princessofg: Escape From Reality. If You Can. - I think any sort of worry about Crucially Important Difficult Topics like racism or sexism perhaps crowding out writing issues, or canon discussions, or the revisiting of various fandom concerns like the nature of canon in an RPS fandom or the definition of fanon or the role of Mary Sues is a false dichotomy. There is no either/or here. All these topics are important and they all belong in our metadiscussion. -

• idlerat: Avatar: I did not like it. Also stuff about fantasy and effects in movies. - But why does this movie convince people it's NOT animation? I think it's the coincidence between this slight of hand (this isn't a cartoon, it's so real!) and the tacky and offensive "nature" brand with which Avatar coats race, gender, economics, sex, religion, politics, and everything important that kicks my sense of bad faith, already at 11, up a few notches. -

• r_becca: Discussion on reviews - There's a lot of reasons why people don't appreciate critique in fests, and I think that some of them might not be the best. Frankly, no one wants to have their failings detailed in front of others. But the biggest reason that I'm willing to screen critique in the fest is that the authors are anonymous, and thus kind of defenseless. -

• la_vie_noire: Who, who the hell pointed a gun at my head - racism is based on erasure, genocide and domination of other cultures. Does Japan has a recent -or with still some impact on people's lives- history of doing that? Yes. Towards White Nations*? Big resonant no. Nor does any non-white culture. -

Title: Lost in Reality - Part 6
Author: vanseedee
Characters: George/Lee
Rating: PG-13 for this part
Word Count: 4000 for part 6
Warnings: -
Summary: Reality is the state or quality of being real. But what is real? And more importantly, what is not real?

Part One - Part Two - Part Three - Part Four - Part Five

( Part Six - Gone . Five )

TITLE: Only Middles 1/7 Summer Shudder
AUTHOR: ella_in_spades
ERA: Marauder
PAIRINGS/CHARACTERS: The main characters are: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, Severus Snape, Emily St. James (OC), and Ethan Dade (OC). The list of pairings throughout the series is pretty extensive and a little complicated, so I'm just gonna let you be surprised. There isn't a whole lot of canon, but there is some. I think that everyone can find something they'll like in here.
RATING/WARNINGS: PG-ish. Doesn't follow the last two books.
SUMMARY: This was the easy part. The pranks, the simplicity. Life was easy.
But lurking in the corners was the ever impending threat. The Dark Lord was rising, preparing to seize control.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is the first in a series of five. This chapter's narration felt very 'Desperate Housewives'.
