WendWriter: After the fire...
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010/03/after-fire.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Thursday, 4 March 2010. So I'm standing in the smouldering ruins of the relationships I'd sort of formed with two people in the fanfic world, taking stock and seeing what I can salvage from this mess. I've learned some very important lessons from this, which I will share in general terms without naming names. Okay, fine, but coming from my background, letting people bash me because "It's not really bashing, it's something else that's quite harmless," is...

WendWriter: Still Smarting
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010/07/still-smarting.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Friday, 2 July 2010. Well, what it is, I've had to quit all my WendWriter accounts. There's nothing to follow any more, okay? Heaven knows I stuck by them when it counted. I'm not chasing after anyone who will not do the same for me. I'm worth more than that, and if I'm not, I should be. If I give loyalty (and Heaven knows I did), I expect to get it. I'm not going to return the "favour." I'm better than that. If she can do that, what can't she do? Hones...

WendWriter: Cave Doni
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010/03/cave-doni.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Wednesday, 3 March 2010. So I signed up with a few free websites with a view to installing a fanfiction program. Other people were doing it, why not me? When I went on a certain yahoo group that serves as a forum for one of the contests I take part in, I was brutally reminded of why I wanted to set up my own archiving site - to stop unwanted contact from certain individuals. I PM'ed the mod to explain why I wouldn't be back. So what do you think? I'm a ...

WendWriter: Turn the other WHAT??!
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010/03/turn-other-what.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Wednesday, 3 March 2010. Turn the other WHAT? I've actually tried all that, you see. When this crap first blew up, I offered the people concerned modship of The X Box. One of my two forums on fanfiction.net. They threw it back in my face, and matters got worse, so I banned them and I've kept them banned since. Therefore, since I know for a fact it doesn't work, I won't be taking that advice, though she means well, to be fair. So what do you think? I'm a...

WendWriter: The light from yonder window
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010/03/light-from-yonder-window.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Friday, 5 March 2010. The light from yonder window. So I got into a discussion with someone about all the drama, and she told me a few home truths. Some I took on board, others I rejected. She's beginning to understand it, which is good, though she certainly hasn't taken sides or anything. We parted on friendly enough terms. We've agreed to a) agree to disagree and b) to drop the subject. Disagreeing with me. Not after having the discussions we've h...

WendWriter: January 2010
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Sunday, 31 January 2010. Well my challenge entry for the LOTR Community January Challenge finally went up today, so I've posted it on various websites, as usual, for bumpage. It's great fun to have a story in these challenges, particularly when friendly readers pat you on the back for it. They Might Be Giants. I'll be adding more as time goes by, but my goodness, what a great crop of stories these sites attract. January Writing Challenge, Before the Beg...

WendWriter: February 2010
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Saturday, 13 February 2010. Well, my new LJ community. Is taking off, and writers of note have already signed up for it. This should lead to more entries for the monthly writing contest, which is why I set it up. There is a cloud on the AOE horizon, though. Certain individuals seem to think I'm some sort of e-catamite or something. I'm not. Anyone who behaves badly, whether it's to me or not, is banned on principle. I don't do that thing of letting it s...

WendWriter: ...The fire still burns
http://wendwriter.blogspot.com/2010/03/fire-still-burns.html
Reportage and opinions on fandom and online trends. Friday, 5 March 2010. The fire still burns. Well, per the suggestions of some decent, kind-hearted people, I've elected to restructure the Golden Quill Awards so that it's obvious what my stance is. I honestly believed I could call it open and. The kind-hearted well-meaning people all asked me how I'd feel if a writer I liked was excluded from participation in an awards scheme. For the record,. This is what the drama is all about, of course. Some pe...
