The X-Files doesn’t get mentioned enough as a series that hit the ground running, having an excellent first season, and didn’t have those growing pains that other shows of its era had (I.e. Star Trek TNG & DS9). Just watching “Lazarus” tonight, and I noted the on-point acting, writing, and production values that hold true for seasons to come.

Fanfics are a big part of what inspires me to draw fanart, but I have just seen a post saying that some writers might not like fanart based on their fics to be posted and honestly, I'd never considered that, so if you're a fanfic writer:

to me fanart and fanfic have always seemed more or less like a symbiotic relationship and I personally would love it if someone wrote a fic based on art that I drew, so I'd never really considered that someone might not like it

The demand for more f/f fic (written by people who aren't turned on by it) has been going on online for decades. In the LiveJournal days, writing and reading f/f was called "eating your vegetables." You weren't supposed to like it, but it was morally suspect if you didn't do it. Like, callout posts would be made for fic writers who had never written f/f.

Obviously, this strategy worked very well to encourage f/f fics, and everyone was happy forever.

That's hilarious actually. Wildly superficial engagement with text, treated as a solemn duty.

we were way way too permissive with all stripes of antis, tbh. we tried to tolerate them, we tried to reason with them, we tried to say 'they'll grow out of it' and we tried to appease them with a 'middle ground' that kept moving farther and farther into social conservatism and sex negativity in fictional works and art. Now look where we are.

We should have just said, these are the rules for behavior and tolerance in this community, if you can't take it, fandom isn't for you. And blocked them all immediately after one snide comment or attack.

lando on his parents watching the race:

“My dad struggles to watch the first laps, and my mum is the same. When they are in the garage, sometimes my mum has to leave just to get the first lap out of the way then come back in. She has always looked out for me, and she knows how dangerous it is.

Parents always think like that more than we do as drivers.

They think of the worst before the best but I know they are in it with me. My mum always says she is on my shoulder while I am driving. She is always in the car with me.”
