HitFix's Drew McWeeny wrote The Bigger Picture: Muppets, Avengers, and Life In The Age Of Fanfiction; if I wasn't the closest I've ever been to not getting this post done, I think I'd be all over this.

Nathalie Atkinson assured readers of the National Post (Canada) that Shame is not Magneto fan fiction or some sort of X-Men/ Jane Eyre mash-up - no sexy young mutant or simmering Rochester here. More's the pity.

( More Muppets, Frankenstein )

In The Eastern Progress (Eastern Kentucky University), Stephanie Collins profiled fellow student/aspiring author Mara Gover, who began writing fan fiction in her younger years, a hobby that developed into general fiction writing once she entered high school.

The Guardian muffed the def of slash.

WBEZ's Claire Zulkey put out a call for Cleatus [(the FOX football robot)] fan fiction.

Finally, 3 News's Daniel Rutledge talked to (not that) Sean Bean about "EA’s upcoming fantasy RPG Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning," asking, "Are you looking forward to going through some of the fan fiction and so forth?" Bean answered, Oh, absolutely. One of the hardest things for us is to know all the things that will precede and come after the game.

Could someone point me to somewhere that lays out what upgrading to paid on DW would get me? I don't really care how many icons I have; but I would like to be able to import images from my Mac, cross-post to multiple accounts, and - really, no clue what else I'd do.

Do I need a paid account to import my LJ?

Hi!

I'm not planning on using this journal except for commenting, so for the foreseeable future I'm not going to be friending people here - just too much for me to deal with on an ongoing basis, and I don't want to do it for some people and not others.

If you are posting under f-lock on LJ and sending comments into locked posts here, I'd really like access here, else I'll probably cry out of frustration and general sense of hurt. Really.
