I can't write as much as I'd like about this issue because a) I'm writing on a laptop which kills my wrists dead and b) it's midnight and I have to go to work tomorrow.
Some of the people with interesting things to say on this issue, although I don't agree with everything they say are:( links to discussion )Okay, so here's the part that, to me, and as someone who's been an LJ community maintainer (not necessarily a good one, but I did keep one more or less going for over a year) that people are not getting.
Public discussion, even on a community, means in public, it doesn't mean structured by the people, on any fucking topic of the people, and for the people of the whole goddamn world. Unless king community dictator chooses a constitutional monarchy. Like Britain. Or![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

carolyn_claire's world, and you're just living in it. Or you know, not. Up to you. If you don't like the playground, you don't have to play. Take your ball and go home.( some more about this )
This community has driven home for me that we need a word for discussion of individual fanfiction stories which specifically implies that we are not talking to the fucking author. Because when anyone says, "Let's discuss stories!" that gets summarized to critique or literary criticism which gets abbreviated as crit which is then unpacked as constructive criticism. And you! Hey, you, Madame Artiste, over there! Ma'amselle Auteur, you, in the corner! I ain't talking to you. ( what I mean by that is )
This entry is posted publically, should anyone like to refer to it. I may or may not be taking it back to flock like the rest of the journal. If so, it will remain public on my journalfen account.
