My writing tactics have changed of late. I think it's all the repercussions of this thesis thing I just finished *g*

I've realised that I just love writing, and that's kinda more important than what people think of the end product (though, try as I might, that's always pretty damn important too). So I've just been taking advantage of any kind of ideas I have, expressing and exploring them in this fic medium, instead of waiting for the 'perfect story' to manifest itself.

It's much more fun, and I feel more prolific. But also feel the urge to warn that anything I'm writing under 3000 words is scribbly, experimental and unbeta'd. Consider yourself warned ;D

Okay, here's the story.

Some time last year I purchased fandomwiki.com, with the thought of creating a place within which fans could meta about their own experience and theories and understanding of fandom. Not as in, a collection of meta pieces, but as in a fandom encyclopedia that reflected (and legitimised!) the subjectivity of fan experience and theorising.

I registered, set up, and started work on it myself (with some help from anatsuno and a couple other people, I think!). I was keen on developing a pseudo-methodology, wanted to sort out with myself and establish the kind of atmosphere/practice for contributing that would foster the kind of all-accepting/subjective knowledge base (and common history!) that I'd envisaged.

As things tend to happen, other things took over my time (namely, the thesis!), and then I was pointed in the direction of FanHistory.com. Which is, essentially, a fandom wiki. Which seemed to make my yet un-developed fandomwiki.com somewhat defunct.

But anyway. I decided to not waste the space I'd already bought and instead just lock down the fandomwiki.com domain for my own personal use. I made a post about it here, letting anyone who'd been aware of it know, and a few people kind of stuck their hands up and said, hey. Fanhistory.com *isn't* the most reliable, multi-authored encyclopedia you had in mind.

So. Now that I have more time again, talk to me. cathexys & ithiliana, I'm looking at you specifically, here. But the rest of you as well *g*

Would it be viable for me to re-activate fandomwiki.com? I'm thinking that at least in the development stage, those of you who are aca-fen would be the best candidates to build up a ... culture of knowledge, the type of atmosphere we're (or well, *i'm*) looking for.

Or, oh wise and seasoned aca-fen - what are your thoughts on this whole thing? I'm totally willing to take your guidance on this, if you have ideas you think are viable for this.

I have the domain, I have the space, and the technical know-how to manage it all... Talk to me!

Oh god. I just had the brilliant idea of putting together a Pre-series SPN zine (gen, probably).

Clearly, I must hate myself.

Someone discourage me, quick!

derryderrydown: Oh, John hopped up on morphine.
derryderrydown: That works too.
derryderrydown: And he's all giggly and gropey.
derryderrydown: Like an octopus.
derryderrydown: A bearded octopus.
derryderrydown: And they're in the hospital and Dad's all over him and "Wanna fuck you..."
angstslashhope: A BEARDED OCTUPUS?
derryderrydown: IT'S A SIMILE.
derryderrydown: NOT A LITERAL BEARDED OCTOPUS.
angstslashhope: unless, there is that one curse...
angstslashhope: THAT LITERALISES SIMILES!~
angstslashhope: that could be so fun.
derryderrydown: ...
derryderrydown: ...
derryderrydown: OH, YOUR BRAIN.
derryderrydown: I prefer my drugged, gropey John, thanks.
angstslashhope: oh, come on.
angstslashhope: their tongues could BATTLE with each other!
derryderrydown: And Dean's desperately trying to think whether he actually said John was his father at any point.
angstslashhope: dean's dick could IMPLODE!
derryderrydown: I AM TRYING TO KEEP IN MY HAPPY PORN PLACE.
angstslashhope: this is a happy porn place!
derryderrydown: And the nurses are looking at him and saying, "So... he's your father?"
angstslashhope: john could fuck dean through the mattress.
angstslashhope: LITERALLY!
derryderrydown: And Dean's like, "Um, he's my sugar daddy. I call him Daddy?"
angstslashhope: AND THEN JOHN TURNS INTO SUGAR!
derryderrydown: I AM IGNORING YOU.
