variations on community

A couple links, of varying importance:

i. I've been fairly quiet regarding the warnings debate in which fandom is currently engaged. (Here is a fairly comprehensive list of various posts; where would we be without delicious these days!) I really don't have much to contribute in the way of relevant discussion, mostly because I can't wrap my head around hearing someone say, "This is hurting me," and being able to respond with, "It's your problem, not mine." In any case, many people who take a similar view have already said it better than I could; in particular I'd like to link [personal profile] oliviacirce's post On Being A Village Elder, as I think it articulately covers all the things I don't quite know how to say.

ii. In much less serious news, [personal profile] wintercreek is getting married in a couple of weeks, and thus is holding an Online Fannish Bachelorette Party! Ficlet prompts are supplied, with fandom suggestions but also wild cards; as [personal profile] wintercreek says, Do not feel limited by my fandoms - the best parties are the ones where your friend brings her sister, who brings those guys who live next door with the tattoo artist, right? Right! Go play, the party's great. :D

Thank you, love! As I imagine you figured out, that is why I haven't gotten around to your fic, yet, but it's next on the to-do list. ♥♥♥
