8:59 am	This shouldn't need saying... But in case it does: murder-suicide is not the stuff of which light comedy is made. (Comment on this)

2:34 pm	3.12 Mina de Malfois and the End of Summer Warning: mina_de_malfois is an affectionate satirical examination of online fandom. Some readers may not share this sense of humour; reader discretion is advised. mina_de_malfois is for entertainment purposes only; mina_de_malfois neither attempts nor achieves any notable degree of accuracy, and should therefore not be used as a source of information, let alone a reason to reinforce, say, glaring homophobia and gender biases.4.1 ( Mina de Malfois and the End of Summer (part one) ) 1. I bet Why Jensen Ackles Matters: A Study in Fiction and Meta was on the reading list. 2. Twilight fandom at work: fanfiction for sale on Amazon, as reported by Dunc on Club Jade. 3. And again with the Twilight fandom: fanfiction for sale on eBay, as reported by Caito. N.B. that as far as I can tell, most Twilight fans don't attempt to trample over copyright. Right? 4. Unlike the average market observer or academic she was able to view a frank discussion where those involved were unaware that they were being observed by a researcher. "I thought at first it might be unethical," she said. But that problem was answered for her by one fan who wrote: "This is a public forum and everyone in the world can read it." Uh. 4. 1. It'd be soothing to think outsiders had gotten a clue, but then there's the massive research fail of RULE 34: WHAT NETPORN TEACHES US ABOUT THE BRAIN, explained in many eloquent posts by many fans. 5. Don't worry: this isn't a link to That Wiki, it's a link to a fan's Bebo page--but if you scroll down, you find one of those all-too-familiar comments. Can anyone help edit the Coronation Street article on Fan History? It is an introduction to the history of the fandom, containing a timeline of events, information on fandom fights and more. Needs some bulking up to make it more accurate. Thanks for any help you can provide in improving the article! Also strangely hilarious is this foray into the Coronation Street blog; note the first comment is from someone familiar with That Wiki... 6. Fanfiction, not necessarily sub-par, can be found here. 7. C'mon: Liarla? Seriously? (Comment on this)

5:10 pm	As you may have noticed, I haven't posted a June update. This, dear readers, is because RL events have been eventing at a pace that's left my actual, real-world self somewhere beyond exhausted. June's update, at this rate, will be lucky if it gets itself done by August. D: I have, however, found time for a spot of non-con f/f erotica. Well, I mean, really: who doesn't have time for a little noncon f/f, am I right? (No, this isn't Minaverse, except insofar as the next update will briefly mention it.) So as a peace offering, I've thrown it up as a free download, available via Mina's lulu shop. It's the last item listed there, and for the love of your wallet make sure you download it for free as opposed to paying lulu.com for few pages of erotica. It's been beta'd by some long-suffering Clives; any remaining errors are my own. Also it contains explicit nonconsensual sex, and I hope you'll take that warning seriously, as it took me all of ten seconds to type it. Not that I'm trying to make a point here or anything.

12:29 pm	Kissing Cousins [Note: I owe scifantasy for suggesting the Baldur/mistletoe myth, amy_star_ for reminding me of the Magic Box Of Hair Metal Cassettes and for making me write a closing paragraph, ap_aelfwine for the codpiece, and, as always, The Clives for turning this from me-ese into readable English. Also, this post is being left unflocked so I can show it to a couple of people who wouldn't otherwise see it; apologies in advance to any puzzled Supernatural fans who may note Occult is a bit...familiar.] Title: Kissing Cousins Fandom: Occult Author: Anon Disclaimer: These characters and settings belong to their creator, not the author of the fanfiction, and Princely Plots disclaims all responsibility for copyright infringement. Warnings: Some readers have pointed out that this sounds like slash, and therefore has no place in the PP archive, but a careful reading shows that all events are necessitated by the plot, so we're letting it stand. Also, it is canon that Jab sometimes wears a magic codpiece. ~Warr1or ( Kissing Cousins ) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:26 am	Does anyone else here love Nancy Drew? You know you do. And now expectare has written a Nancy Drew/Minaverse crossover: The Mystery at the Adjectival Library. It's wonderful (as is the 'outline of every Nancy Drew novel ever' of cleolinda's that it's linked to); do go read it. (Comment on this)

2:32 am	Spoilerific. Meta. [Again: if you don't want to be spoiled for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, don't scroll down or click the lj-cut or anything. Mina's essay contains, along with a lot of fake-facts, some trufax spoilers. This is a public post; please do feel welcome to link to it. It's meant to be an amusing and tongue-in-cheek look at fanon, and is not intended to bash anyone.] Warning: My betas have told me that this essay contains possible spoilers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don’t even see how that’s possible, unless this J.K. Rowling person has been ripping off The Tortured Tutor, but just in case you’d better not click if you don’t want to be spoiled. Title: The Dark Schoolmaster: Chavalrous or Chivalrous? A Prince’s Mirror of Aspiration. Fandom: The Tortured Tutor series Acknowledgments: I am, as always, deeply indebted to the Clives for their input and feedback, and for their research skills. This couldn’t have been written without them. A handful of them deserve writing credits, really, although they seem reluctant to claim credit. They’re sweetly modest that way.

12:48 pm	1.11 Mina de Malfois and the Spiritual Renewal (part three) Many, many thanks to everyone for their kindnesses and consideration. You’re a pleasure to write for, and your comments mean a lot. As soon as I can, I’ll be back to entertain you (or at least, to do my level best in that direction). In typing this up, I realized that this chapter sounds ‘coincidentally morbid,’ if you see what I mean. It wasn’t meant to--I wrote it weeks ago, and the rough outline for these chapters has been in place since the beginnings. It’s just one of those ‘the universe is gently poking fun at me’ coincidences; please don’t allow it to put you off. The person I’m mourning had a merry heart, and would have been the first to laugh.
