Meta links + Merlin rec
Feb. 5th, 2009 01:13 pmI feel like I haven’t been around much lately. I’ve been feeling a little…quiet, I guess, and I've gotten wrapped up in reading a lot more meta/RL stuff than fic, which is unusual for me.
(What have I been following?
--The latest round of femslash meta
--The Great Elizabeth Bear Race/Cultural Appropriation Imbroglio
--A more RL discussion of where we should locate fertility treatments in the Reproductive Rights debate vis a vis the Octuplet woman
--Most recently:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solar_cat’s response to that by-now-probably-infamous post by thingswithwings on fandom migration and problematic texts with a side of Merlin!hate.)
Lots of heavy, thinky stuff, and it does make one appreciate how, whatever else you can say above fandom and livejournal, it’s not always all about the porn and the wank. (But only on alternate Thursdays.)
On a slightly happier note, Gwen/Morgana!

This piece is short but packs a hell of a punch.giddygeek manages to say quite an awful lot about women, sex and power in Camelot. It's gorgeous and a little sad but no less awesome for it.
