Unconfirmed cross-reference: Hope's mother Emily Lina Mirrlees, co-credited (post-mortem?) with a Margaret Rosalys Coker as author of 1949 book titled ''Wishful Cooking''? --[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]] 06:57, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

There's a 1972 article titled "Queen of Lud" in Virginia Woolf quarterly vol 1. And a ton of other results concerning Mirrlees on Google Books, though many only offer snippet views. --[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]] 08:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hope Mirrlees

2009-03-27T20:16:12Z

Ide Cyan: Readercon 2009 Memorial GoH

'''Helen Hope Mirrlees''' (1887 - 1 August 1978) was an English writer who published novels, nonfiction, poetry, and, along with the scholar and feminist Jane Harrison, with whom she lived for several years, translations.

== Influence ==

Mirrlees is best known for her third novel, [[Lud-in-the-Mist]] (1926), which was reprinted without her permission in [[1970]] in mass-market paperback format by Lin Carter for the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series. It the only one of her works still in print today, thanks to recent reeditions, translations into German and Spanish, and new recognition in the canon of fantasy literature.

However, this resurgence in popularity for Mirrlees's fantasy novel has been marred by an almost equal disregard for her other works, and a mystification of Mirrlees herself ("What a strange creature Hope Mirrlees was!" -- Michael Swanwick), in striking correspondence to the tactics described by [[Joanna Russ]]: "By careful selection it is possible to create what I would call ''the myth of the isolated achievement'', that is, the impression that although X appears in this history of literature or that curriculum or that anthology, it is only because of one book or a handful of (usually the same) poems, and therefore X's other work is taken to be non-existent or inferior." (in ''[[How to Suppress Women's Writing]]'', p.62)

[[Joanna Russ]] wrote a short story, "[[The Zanzibar Cat (story)|The Zanzibar Cat]]" (1971), in homage to Mirrlees's [[Lud-in-the-Mist]], "half in affectionate parody, but the other half very seriously indeed".

Mirrlees's influence has also been noted in the works of [[Neil Gaiman]] and [[Susanna Clarke]].

Hope Mirrlees has been announced as Memorial Guest of Honor<ref>[http://readercon.org/guests.htm Readercon Guests for 2009]</ref> for [[2009]]'s [[Readercon]], which, it seems, will also focus on ''Lud-in-the-Mist''.

Tinerete fara batrînete

2009-03-25T08:06:49Z

Ide Cyan: /* External Links */

''Tinerete fara batrînete'' ([[1968]]) is a Romanian fantasy movie directed by [[Elisabeta Bostan]] based on the story by Ion Creanga.

It follows a very traditional [[fairy tale]] plot, wherein a young man embarks on a quest for immortality, battling along the way such adversaries as a fire-breathing witch, an army of liars, and an evil prince, while falling in love with a magical princess whose hand in marriage predictably becomes an object of dispute, as a reward linked to the fulfillment of three preordained tasks.

It therefore obeys strict [[gender roles]]. Although the princess's magical help guides the hero, she must abide by the rules of the challenge she set to test the worthiness of her potential suitors, and ultimately needs to be rescued from the villain. The other female characters in the movie are the Queen of the Forest Birds, the fire-breathing witch, the princess's mother, who is Queen of the Kingdom of Eternal Youth, and the princess's handmaidens. The princess does speak to her mother and her handmaidens, but this film would not meet [[the Rule]].

It is however a very beautiful movie, well-paced and lavishly designed, although the special effects would feel dated for today's audiences. [[Elisabeta Bostan]]'s direction brings the right note of earnestness and scope to the story, and makes it engaging and often action-filled.

The number of translations (whose titles are show below) would suggest that film was widely distributed in the 1970s, although it is almost impossible to find today. A few English-dubbed videocassettes are scattered in libraries in the USA, and a surviving print of the movie was shown in the United Kingdom for the 2003 Festival of Fantastic Films.

=== Alternate Titles ===
* ''Youth Without Old Age'' (literal English title)
* ''Kingdom in the Clouds'' (USA)
* ''La Clef d'or'' (Canada: French-language title)
* ''Das Schloss hinterm Regenbogen'' (German)
* ''El Principe Azul'' (Spanish)
* ''Il Principe Azzurro'' (Italian)

== Alternate versions ==
The dubbed English-language version of this movie is missing material that was contained in the original Romanian version. The information above is based on an incomplete version of the movie.

Missing from the opening minutes are the Three Fates dancing, and the parents of the hero talking over their infant son.

Time travel

2009-03-20T00:58:32Z

Ide Cyan: expanding on the subject

'''Time travel''' is an important [[plot device]] and [[theme]] of [[SF]].

== Definition ==

It's generally understood as a fictional conceit that differs from the normal course of existence over time, from the chronological, linear progression of objects, events and causality, which only varies at relativistic speeds approaching the [[speed of light]] that are hard to measure or appreciate on a human scale.

Time travel, then, refers to displacements in time that are not chronological and linear, or that are beyond a human scale of existence, such as with [[immortality]].

There are countless variation on the theme of time travel. It can be travel forward to the future (faster than the aforementioned regular pace of existence over time), travel back to the past, or travel across [[dimensions]] to [[alternate timelines]]. Time travel in fiction can be achieved via fictional technology, via fictional scientific or supernatural phenomena, via magic, or simply used as an unexplained plot device.

The [[time machine]], which is a device that allows its occupants or users to travel to different dates, is a specialised type of [[technology]] that is one of the classical [[tropes]] of [[science fiction]]. Famous time machine examples include [[the Time Machine]] by [[H.G. Wells]], the DeLorean in ''[[Back to the Future]]'', the [[Tardis]] in ''[[Doctor Who]]'', and the [[time-turner]] in the [[Harry Potter]] series. The first three examples are explicitly vehicles, whereas the fourth is a portable device that affects its user(s).

The [[time traveller]] is correspondingly one of the classical character themes of SF.

== List of works featuring time travel ==

* [[Octavia Butler]]. ''[[Kindred]]''
* [[Catherine Ennis]]. ''[[To the Lightning]]'' (lesbian romance / Robinson Crusoe adventure)
* [[M. F. K. Fisher|M.F.K. (Mary Frances Kennedy) Fisher]]. ''[[Not Now, but Now]]'' (1947) [time traveling bisexual woman]

Erica Strange

2009-03-19T23:55:43Z

Ide Cyan: character sketch

{{femchar}}'''Erica Strange''' is the title and lead character on the TV series ''[[Being Erica]]''.

She is a 32-year-old single woman living in Toronto. Her life is a mess as a result of her bad decisions, and at the start of the series she meets a mysterious therapist named [[Dr. Tom]] who offers her the chance to go back in time to fix her mistakes.

Erica is played by Erin Karpluk. However, Samantha Weinstein sometimes plays a much younger version of the character in scenes where Karpluk would be too old to play Erica, notably in the episode where she revisits her [[Bat Mitzvah]].

Erica is Jewish. Her parents are divorced, and her father is a former hippie who became a rabbi. Her older brother, Leo, is deceased, under circumstances which haven't been revealed on the show yet, but his death has had a profound impact on Erica and her family. Her younger sister, Sam, is a doctor. She has a gay uncle named Ruby who owns a bridal business.

Erica has a Master's Degree in English literature, and would like to be a writer, but has been unsuccessful in her career. She takes an entry-level job at a publishing company as the assistant of an editor who is younger than herself early on in the series, and is envious of the professional success of one of her friends who is a newspaper columnist.

Erica is also unsuccessful romantically. She has a growing but complicated romantic attraction to one of her longstanding male friends, Ethan, who has recently returned to Toronto after separating from his wife Claire, with whom he previously lived in Montréal. Erica was once almost involved with a woman named Cassidy, but Erica's intellectual crush on her lesbian friend didn't translate into mutual physical attraction.

Being Erica

2009-03-19T23:29:23Z

Ide Cyan: /* Cast */

'''''Being Erica''''' ([[2009]] - ongoing) is a Canadian [[comedy-drama]] television series about a young woman named Erica who meets a mysterious therapist who allows her to revisit her past mistakes in order to try to fix her messed-up life in the present.

The series was created by [[Jana Sinyor]]. It uses the [[repeating events]] trope (via [[time-travel]]) as a conceit to explore its [[protagonist]]'s character growth.

The show mixes elements of comedy, romance, character drama, and a touch of soap opera, with opportunities for anachronistic humour and a lot of therapy.

== Overview ==
Erica Strange, despite her mostly fortunate circumstances, has made a mess of her life through her own bad decisions. At the start of the series, when she is at a particularly low point, she meets Dr. Tom, who offers to help her if she will commit to the task. On her first visit to his office, he asks her to write down a list of her biggest regrets -- and then he gives her the opportunity to go back in time to relive them and try to act differently.

Thereafter, at unexpected times, Erica enters Dr. Tom's [[Tardis]]-like office by crossing through ordinary doorways and has impromptu therapy sessions with him. Erica then jumps ''in media res'' into her younger self at different times in her life, usually making one extended trip to the past per episode, to relive a period of her life which is connected to the difficulties she's experiencing in her present. Dr. Tom is often there in the background during those trips to the past, for Erica to turn to for advice.

In the present, Erica struggles to find -- and keep -- a new job, to deal with her boss, her friendships, her family, and her romantic attraction to Ethan, an old friend who recently separated from his wife and moved back into Erica's life.

== Cast ==
* Erin Karpluk as [[Erica Strange]] (also sometimes played by Samantha Weinstein)
* Michael Riley as [[Dr. Tom]], Erica's mysterious therapist

* Vinessa Antoine as Judith Winters, Erica's best friend
* Tyron Leitso as Ethan, Erica's longtime close male friend and possible love interest
* Laurence Leboeuf as Claire, Ethan's wife
* Sarah Gadon as Katie Atkins, Erica's oldest friend
* Paula Brancati as Jenny, another of Erica's friends

* Reagan Pasternak as Julianne Giacomelli, Erica's demanding boss (who is younger than Erica)
* Morgan Kelly as Brent, Erica's co-worker

* John Boylan as Gary Strange, Erica's father, a former hippie turned rabbi
* Kathleen Laskey as Barb Strange, Erica's mother
* Devon Bostick as Leo Strange, Erica's deceased older bother (seen in the past when he was still alive)
* Joanna Douglas as Samantha Strange, Erica's younger sister, a doctor

The series is set in Toronto, but most of the cast is straight and white, although the Stranges are Jewish. Judith is the one regular black character. There are a few peripheral gay characters: Erica's Uncle Ruby; the lesbian couple who are chosen as godparents to Judith's baby; and Cassidy, the friend who was nearly Erica's lover.

Being Erica

2009-03-19T22:29:49Z

Ide Cyan: outline

'''''Being Erica''''' ([[2009]] - ongoing) is a Canadian [[comedy-drama]] television series about a young woman named Erica who meets a mysterious therapist who allows her to revisit her past mistakes in order to try to fix her messed-up life in the present.

The series was created by [[Jana Sinyor]]. It uses the [[repeating events]] trope (via [[time-travel]]) as a conceit to explore its [[protagonist]]'s character growth.

The show mixes elements of comedy, romance, character drama, and a touch of soap opera, with opportunities for anachronistic humour and a lot of therapy.

== Overview ==
Erica Strange, despite her mostly fortunate circumstances, has made a mess of her life through her own bad decisions. At the start of the series, when she is at a particularly low point, she meets Dr. Tom, who offers to help her if she will commit to the task. On her first visit to his office, he asks her to write down a list of her biggest regrets -- and then he gives her the opportunity to go back in time to relive them and try to act differently.

Thereafter, at unexpected times, Erica enters Dr. Tom's [[Tardis]]-like office by crossing through ordinary doorways and has impromptu therapy sessions with him. Erica then jumps ''in media res'' into her younger self at different times in her life, usually making one extended trip to the past per episode, to relive a period of her life which is connected to the difficulties she's experiencing in her present. Dr. Tom is often there in the background during those trips to the past, for Erica to turn to for advice.

In the present, Erica struggles to find -- and keep -- a new job, to deal with her boss, her friendships, her family, and her romantic attraction to Ethan, an old friend who recently separated from his wife and moved back into Erica's life.

== Cast ==
* Erin Karpluk as [[Erica Strange]] (also sometimes played by Samantha Weinstein)
* Michael Riley as [[Dr. Tom]], Erica's mysterious therapist

* Vinessa Antoine as Judith Winters, Erica's best friend
* Tyron Leitso as Ethan, Erica's longtime close male friend and possible love interest
* Laurence Leboeuf as Claire, Ethan's wife
* Sarah Gadon as Katie Atkins, Erica's oldest friend
* Paula Brancati as Jenny, another of Erica's friends

* Reagan Pasternak as Julianne Giacomelli, Erica's demanding boss (who is younger than Erica)
* Morgan Kelly as Brent, Erica's co-worker

* John Boylan as Gary Strange, Erica's father, a former hippie turned rabbi
* Kathleen Laskey as Barb Strange, Erica's mother
* Devon Bostick as Leo Strange, Erica's deceased older bother (seen in the past when he was still alive)
* Joanna Douglas as Samantha Strange, Erica's younger sister, a doctor

Repeating events

2009-03-19T21:32:25Z

Ide Cyan: Being Erica

'''Repeating events''' is a common SFnal plot device. A character wakes up and goes through the day's events; something horrible (or perhaps mundane) happens; then the next day when they wake up they relive the same day again.

Variations:
* The day, or events, could be changed slightly each time
* Events could range from horrible to mundane
* Character's awareness of what happened
* How (or if) character stops the cycle
* Explanation of how the repeat happened?

Examples:
* ''[[Being Erica]]'', in which Erica relives past events (usually one per episode) to try to fix her mistakes
* [[Been There, Done That]] (3x02 episode of [[Xena: Warrior Princess]])
* "[[Life Serial]]" (s6 episode of [[Buffy]])
* "Groundhog Day" (Bill Murray vehicle)
* "Monday" ([[X-Files]] episode)
* "[[5:55]]" s.2 e.3 of ''[[Blood Ties]]''

Variants - one-time repeat:
* "[[Tru Calling]]" (the entire show is premised on the one-time-only opportunity to repeat the previous day, to "fix" whatever went wrong)
* "I Will Remember You" (S1 episode of Angel; one-time repeat)

==See also==
* [[Time travel]] (which can permit reexamination of the same event from a different perspective, or efforts to redo it)

Ide Cyan: correction -- I made a hyperlinking error

In light of Kathryn Cramer's [http://coffeeandink.livejournal.com/902704.html?mode=reply attacks] on [[coffeeandink]] I would recommend that her contributions (she is [[User:Pleasantville]]) be watched carefully to prevent or remediate further damage. ([http://coffeeandink.livejournal.com/903696.html More info] -- and the issue is ongoing.) --[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]] 08:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

:::ETA: [http://coffeeandink.livejournal.com/901816.html?mode=reply This is the first entry I meant to link to], rather than the URL under the "attacks" link above -- that was a copy-paste error. The second link (under "more info") is correct, but there were a lot of close together entries on the same subjet on coffeeandink's LJ and I think I mis-selected when copying. None of this changes the intention behind my initial statement. --[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]] 05:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

:What damage are you speaking of? The party in question has libeled me on this point and I have filed a complaint with her ISP. Her claims of "attacks" are untrue. Are you perhaps propagating further [[Character assassination|defamation of my character]]?

:[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]], I suggest you make links to particular edits in this Wiki if you wish to claim I have "damaged" this Wiki. Otherwise, please retract your statement and apologize, since such a claim is defamatory. --[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] 15:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

:: Hi Kathryn. Actually, wiki admins and sys ops are watching your contributions to the wiki. We keep an eye on recent changes in general, and we "watch" pages we think might be controversial. Ide Cyan as one of the wiki's more active users has, in my view, usefully pointed out possible difficulty. Are you threatening or preparing to sue people for libel or defamation? That is certainly interesting. If so, you may want to pause and talk to a lawyer about your course of action, before further participating in this wiki. We would like for you not to threaten people with legal actions on the wiki. Please cool it down. --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 17:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Are you unconcerned about defamation? The links and the claim were defamatory. Please remove them. You are an admin. I did not threaten. Rather I ask for you to do something.--[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] 19:09, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:: Hi Kathryn. It's a wiki. You can take stuff off your talk page if you like. Go for it. --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 22:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:: A couple hours later. I have a second to breathe and engage. Can you clarify what is bothering you or that you want me to do here? Is it a question of people moderating language in words like "attack" or "damage"? --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 23:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Laura, thanks for making a start on this, with the weight of your position as webmistress to underline the credibility of this (preliminary, but still mattering) policy draft.

I see though that you have approached the matter of pseudonyms from the perspective of looking at someone who knows a person under their legal name revealing that other person's pseudonymous identity. I don't know how I can phrase this more clearly...(See the nota bene for another qualification.) Of bringing someone's pseudonymous identity to light in a way that will have repercussions on their life under their legal name, that will make it known to other people who know the person under that person's legal name. That's is one way of looking at things, but from the other side, the side from which I've been looking at the developments of [[Racefail 09]], I was looking at someone revealing the legal name of a person in the context of interactions done under a pseudonym, and bringing their legal identity to the attention of people familiar with that person's pseudonym.

Put together, both perspectives describe the same act, and that act has consequences that go in both directions (affecting as they do the person [[outing|outed]], whose circumstances affect how they interact under each identity; and the consequences of the outing ripple out in the communities the outing reaches, which can overlap), but I strongly feel that it's important to formulate the matter both ways, because knowing the legal name of someone who has standing under a (or several) pseudonym doesn't qualititatively feel important the same way as knowing the pseudonym(s) of someone for the purposes of interacting with them under their legal name(s).

I would simply edit the entry to add the complementary aspect, but, you being the lawyer, I was wondering if you were taking a particular law-related approach in formulating this policy, which would influence the importance of wording it one way instead of the other.

N.B.: I say legal vs. pseudonymous for lack of better words because I also don't want to link either perspective exclusively to the terms public or private, although that might be a question where you also have legal vocabulary issues in mind. The distinction seems too muddled to me -- people using pseudonyms aren't necessarily interacting in private, although the circles where the pseudonymous identity is relevent may seem private by their being specialised forums instead of general or unmarked forums. And the legal identities, ''not'' the pseudonymous identities, particularly in the examples I can think of, of the people outed, are often the private sites that are put at risk from an outing.

Do you have any recommendations or considerations on these questions of perspective?

--[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]] 04:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
: I want to respond quickly, so nobody is waiting on me; but it's too late at night for me to give this all the attention it deserves. I'll come back tomorrow if I can.

: Very good points, Ide Cyan, and let me encourage you to make any / all the changes you think are appropriate. I dashed this draft off and I think you are probably correct that I was mostly thinking of it in one direction. I was not intending to take a particular law-oriented approach, and in fact tried to be relatively non-legalistic. But the legal training inescapably informs how I look at issues, so .... Anyway, do please feel free to edit as you like. If I notice anything in later changes that poses some issue viewed thru a legal lens I'll flag it, but, honestly, law isn't rocket science: it's a lot of obfuscatory language but usually careful reading is perfectly sufficient. And you're definitely one of the more careful readers here! <smile>

: You're also right to flag the distinctions between legal, pseudonymous, and other identities. I considered discussing anonymity in there too, but ended up leaving it out, since we're mostly considering stable identities and how and whether they ought to be connected. It may be the case that we note that pseudonyms and legal names are particular cases of identities, but there are many types and shadings of identities, and we just have to adapt principles as best we can to various situations.

: Hope this is on point & not too confusing. Busy tomorrow, but hopefully will be able to check back in again in the afternoon or evening (US eastern time).

It's waaay too late for me to be thinking straight at the moment too, so I won't be making any edits yet (I think I momentarily strained my English-language expression abilities writing the above earlier), but one other thing that occured to me in reading your response & with recent excellent critical RaceFail-related commentary in mind is that the drafting of the Wiki's policies should also be advertised as open for input -- ''and'' influence -- where the word would reach more people of colour / non-white fans, and other oppressed parties that could best express what form of policy would make them feel safer, since you & I are white and we cannot draw up a comprehensive policy without input from people whose oppressions we do not know/share first-hand ourselves. (And attempting to do so can only go so far before stumbling over the difference between liberal and radical endeavours.)

=Internal Links for Blog Post Titles=

I thought it would be a good idea for each of the major blog posts (particularly those that have disappeared from the public Internet) to have its own page where we can call out highlights, important threads, and individual comments that sparked other discussions/posts, etc. That will keep the main timeline page pretty clear and straightforward. -KTempest

:It's a good idea, though copyright restrictions may apply. --[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] aka [[Kathryn Cramer]]16:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

:: I think it is fair use, as these posts have been quoted and responded to and are part of public discourse. I'm not the expert on that though. 8-) --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 17:59, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

:::The general rule of thumb for fair use is quoting 150 words. On my blog, I don't sweat this and on rare occasions when it becomes an issue I either remove the content, pay a fee for use, or both, but Wikis can exist only because of the willingness to put things under a free license (in this case GNU Free Documentation License 1.2), so in general one should adhere to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use fair use guidelines]. ([http://www.livejournal.com/legal/tos.bml LJ's ToS] state the material is copyright by its author, which is as I expected.)--[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] 20:19, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

:::I wouldn't say that rule of thumb is appropriate here (and I'd be curious of the context from which it is drawn: I'm guessing the publishing industry. "Best practices" frequently become far more normative than they were originally intended to be when it comes to fair use, and don't translate well to other contexts.). Fair use is a defence, not a hard and fast rule, and while this isn't legal advice, I'd suggest that Pleasantville's approach on her own blog is the best: don't sweat it. If someone is upset at being quoted, there are plenty of forms of conciliation that can be used before IP law needs to be invoked. Calling out (linking to) content would be almost certainly fine, copying-and-pasting beyond what's necessary for review and analysis will gradually shade into other issues. Our stuff on Chilling Effects on the [[http://www.chillingeffects.org/fairuse/faq.cgi Fair Use factors]] may be of use. --[[User:Mala|Mala]] 23:25, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
:: Copyright attorney / co-admin of the FSFwiki weighing in: 150 is a rule of thumb adopted by some people / organizations, but it is just that -- a voluntary rule of thumb. It in no way reflects the state of the law, which is probably better termed, "as much as needed for a legitimate purpose." Documenting an event and the views, and important language that comes up, is unquestionably important; and so long as individual passages are not unnecessarily included (for instance, to try to or with the effect of supplanting the original) then I think we're okay. In short, it is a fact-specific analysis, and thus we can make our own assessment on a case-by-case basis. No rules of thumb apply. I feel very strongly about this. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 23:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

::::I envisioned that whole posts would be pasted in when they were no longer available at their original location but were, at one point, public. Like Teresa's post. Otherwise, readers can click to the original to read the whole thing but stay on the page to see important highlights and get the gist of the discussion.

::: There's really no way not to take a position on it: either we separate the names or we don't. -- vito excalibur

:::: I don't see any point in separating people out under different headings. If the person has, themselves, associated their real name with their screen name or pen name, or if it is common public knowledge (as it is for my screen name of badgerbag), list one with the other(s) right next to it and alphabetize under the name you think people are most commonly known by. If there are pages for both identities, link them to each other or make a redirect page.

::::::I think it sort of speaks for itself anyway.--[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] 18:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
:::: Which "we" is this? I don't need to know what name corresponds to a pseudonym in order to address that pseudonym's arguments. One of the central arguments in the debate was whether it was appropriate to use pseudonyms; outing someone who has explicitly chosen to be anonymous is cheap, and assumes a premise that was actually being debated. --[[User:Jonquil|Jonquil]] 22:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

In terms of why this is necessary, I ask: Is it widely known, for example, that [[coffeeandink]] used to work at Tor, where she reported to [[pnh]]? (I presume it's not, since she doesn't include that job on her LinkedIn page.) People don't just spring into existence when they make up pseudonyms. --[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] 19:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
: Pleasantville, if you think it's so important, why don't you just put that on her wiki page? I don't see why that requires people to be divided into separate categories on this page. --[[User:Vito excalibur|Vito excalibur]] 19:54, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
::I did already. --[[User:Pleasantville|Pleasantville]] 20:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
:I'm not seeing why it's necessary to know that. coffeeandink's many years of posting about race, cultural appropriation, fandom, writing, internet drama, and massive fail stand firmly behind anything she has said in this particular discussion about Patrick, teresa, or anyone else involved. [[User:Ktempest|Tempest]] 06:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
::: I've just deleted the link to the LinkedIn page in your comment because [[coffeeandink]] does not want her LJ to be Googleable and connected to her full name. I hope we can respect that wish. --[[User:Vito excalibur|Vito excalibur]] 22:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
:::: I think that we can put that bit in about employment, which Pleasantville wants to be clear to outline some of the complexities of people's relationships. But I would like us to respect people's choices about pseudonymity as best we can. The need for anonymity is one of the reasons that women's history is hard to document. Let's do the best we can here. --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 23:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

: Uh, yeeeahh. Speaking of which, does this Wiki have an outing policy? (Rather, an anti-outing policy?) Because if it doesn't, I foresee difficulties with outreach to media fannish communities. I did a quick search and didn't find anything.--[[User:Veejane|Veejane]] 00:41, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
:: Good idea. We have [[FSFwiki:Privacy]], but perhaps it needs to be more specific. (Philosophically, I don't bother with pushing policy until it's an issue.) Veejane, do you have any examples? Or would you like to edit the [[FSFwiki:Privacy|current privacy policy]]? --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 11:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Neither of those wikilinks goes anywhere. The policy appears to be [[FSFwiki:Privacy_policy|here]] and about a sentence long. (I also think it should be linked from the Getting Started page, since a privacy policy is baseline information for my attitude towards a site.) You've had one outing, above, and I can still find that outing by comparing the history of edits. So although the identifying data have been deleted from the page, they're still there for anyone to find. Basically, the outing is still occurring even now. By contrast, another wiki I've worked on, [http://fanlore.org/wiki/Fanlore:Identity_Protection Fanlore], has a policy that not only requires removal of outing data, but also hides those particular edits from the history, so the data can't be recovered. It might also be worth asking what tools admins have to control malicious outing. Will that fall under a harassment policy? I.... can't find a harassment policy. This all sounds paranoid, I realize. But better to have a policy and not need it than be flailing in the middle of an emergency without one.--[[User:Veejane|Veejane]] 16:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
:::: Veejane, no need to apologize for pushing for things like an outing policy and a harassment policy; they are things the wiki should probably have. I suspect it just hasn't needed them before now. --[[User:Vito excalibur|Vito excalibur]] 17:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

This is minor, but related to the overall "real name" discussion. Is there a reason why Elizabeth Bear's full name is after her pen name on the page? It's not as if she is known by her full name (she's been going by Elizabeth Bear and eBear since I've known her, lo these 10 years), nor is knowing her full name of use in the conversation. She's not hiding, it's not a "fan name" (not that I think we necessarily need to connect fan names to "real names"), so why is it necessary? --Tempest
: Fair enough, I'ma take it out. Do you think she wouldn't want it up there and it should be a "hide from edit" thing, or just take it out? --[[User:Vito excalibur|Vito excalibur]] 17:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
: It looks like she's completely comfortable with it -- I Googled the pair of their names and there's an interview with her whose first paragraph gives her real name. [http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/authors/from_shakespeare_to_ragnarok_elizabeth_bear_keeps_busy_91271.asp] On the other hand, I don't know why the legal name is necessary in the Wiki. --[[User:Jonquil|Jonquil]] 18:28, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
::I'm not saying she'd be uncomfortable with it. It's not as if her real name is a secret, anyway. My larger point was: why was it there? Was it just due to the anti-pseudonym thing? This is one of the problems I have with the anti-pseud thing. Sometimes the real/legal name of a person is not necessary to identify them, what they say around the internet and in real life, etc. To use myself as an example, Tempest is no part of my legal name, and yet almost everyone in the SF/F community knows me by that name. Almost everything I write and do is connected to it. Thus, I'm not hiding, I'm just using a name I chose for myself. It's very much the same for people who go by fan names, I think. Even if your name is not Willow Wren, if that's what everyone knows you as, then it might as well be your real name for the purpose of identifying you and the things you have to say. --Tempest

When someone hides Micole's identity again, I won't correct it. I won't begin a wiki war, and I respect the right of site owners to do what they please. But just for the record: If the point of this wiki is to share information, don't censor the truth. Revise it when you have more information, delete what no longer seems pertinent, sure, but feminists should especially know that double standards stink. -- Will Shetterly, March 2, 2009
: Hi Will. You sure won't start a wiki war here, because I just banned you. --[[User:Liz Henry|Liz Henry]] 20:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

* Two points. (1) I am not clear on what the double standard that Will is referencing would be. Having a standard that respects privacy, and weighs the costs and benefits of privacy as well as openness of information, does not seem like a "double standard". If, in this discussion, there is someone else who has expressed a desire to not have their pseudonym tied to their real life identity, then we should consider that request just as we have considered coffeeandink's request. To not do so would indeed be a double standard. (And for the record I disagree that double standards in all cases stink. That argument ''might'' be tenable on a so-called level playing field, were such a thing to exist....)

: (2) The addition and subtraction of "the great silliness" is clearly editorial on someone's part. Either it was referred to as "the great silliness" in some significant way, or it wasn't. If it was, then why shouldn't that language be in? If the concern is that all of these terms are implicitly judgmental then the solution is to include a section laying out the terminology & describing the people / positions behind particular terms. Otherwise a footnote (See, e.g., blah blah link blah blah.) should suffice. As it stands we have an assertion by Will that the phrase "the great silliness" was used; I haven't seen any counter-assertion that it was not used. Can someone please confirm or deny the use of this phrase?

: Cheers, Laura Q. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 23:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

: I've missed a lot of the RaceFail discussion as well, but a quick Google search seems to indicate that "the Great Silliness" is a term used only by Will Shetterly himself. Could someone who has more contextual knowledge weigh in on this? If this term wasn't actually used more widely, I would like to delete it. --[[User:JLeland|Therem]] 04:54, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

:: I reverted the addition of "the Great Silliness" because it was done in the same batch of edits and by the same person as the attacks on Micole and I saw it as tactic to minimise the subject and therefore a continuance of the attacks.

:: Laura, the supposed "double standard" is deciding whether to link someone's nickname and legal name based on their practice and wishes, rather than naming everyone under the same standard of specious apolitical uniformity (the "level playing field" you mention). See this recent [http://willshetterly.livejournal.com/251935.html?thread=2468127#t2468127 thread] on WS's LiveJournal. --[[User:Ide Cyan|Ide Cyan]] 12:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

RaceFail 09

2009-03-02T20:40:19Z

Ide Cyan: reversing recent edits

'''RaceFail 09''' is a term used to refer to an extended discussion of race and [[racism]] in science fiction books, culture, fandom, and criticism that began in January 2009. It has been called by many other names, including the Great Cultural Appropriation Debate of Doom 3 (or 2), and RaceFail 9000.

(Ed. note: A more positive name could highlight the community strength and backup shown... but so far it's mostly been described as "fail".)

January 8, 2009: [[Another shot at thinking about the Other]] by [[Jay Lake]] on [http://jaylake.livejournal.com/1692287.html LJ]

:This post came a few days before the main source of discussion in Elizabeth Bear's journal, and through it is not stated, may have contributed to her musings. Inspired by a discussion on ''The Edge of the American West'' about "speaking from cultural authority and presumed expertise." Lake expressed disdain for the idea that white writers don't have "standing" to use Aboriginal or First Nations material in their fiction. The comment thread, 78 responses long, was filled with fail. A lot of 101-level thinking.

January 12, 2009: [[whatever you're doing, you're probably wrong.]] by [[Elizabeth Bear]] on [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544111.html LJ].

:Bear explains her thoughts on writing "The Other", and advises other writer on how to write diverse characters without [[tokenizing]] them. In the comments, many writers agree and thank her for bringing up the subject. Questioning and of Bear's positioning of her white [[privilege]] and her understanding of [[intersectionality]] begins [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544111.html?thread=30738095#t30738095 in this comments thread] by [[deepad]], [[rydra_wong]], [[shewhohashope]], [[Avalon's Willow]], and others.

January 13, 2009: [[I Didn't Dream of Dragons]] by [[deepad]] on [http://deepad.livejournal.com/29656.html LJ]

:Not a direct response to Bear's post, but triggered by it. "...this is more my commentary on the Western, White novels and blogs I have been reading recently, and my experience as an Indian reader."

January 13, 2009: [[Open Letter: To Elizabeth Bear]] by [[Avalon's Willow]] on [http://seeking-avalon.blogspot.com/2009/01/open-letter-to-elizabeth-bear.html Seeking Avalon]

:A response to [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544111.html?thread=30733743&style=mine#t30733743 a thread] in [[whatever you're doing, you're probably wrong.]]

::I'm not calling you a monster. I'm not calling you a racist. But I am calling you clueless and ill worded and more than a touch thoughtless. Your ability to think about things, ''sometimes'', does not erase my pain or lack.

January 14, 2009: [[real magic can never be made by offering up someone else's liver.]] by [[Elizabeth Bear]] on [http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1544999.html LJ]

:A response to [[Open Letter: To Elizabeth Bear]] in which Bear acknowledges that [[Avalon's Willow]]'s criticism is valid. Comments start out badly ("Over sensitivity to perceived racism tends to result in the nit picking of words and sentence structure.") and go downhill quickly.

January 14, 2009: [http://medievalist.livejournal.com/39227.html The Magical Other], in which [[medievalist]] posts an explanation of phouka mythology in relation to ''[[Blood & Iron]]'' on [http://medievalist.livejournal.com/39227.html her LJ]. Post & discussion later [[flock|flocked]] or made private, then unlocked again.

:In [http://medievalist.livejournal.com/39227.html?thread=193339#t193339 a comment] left on Jan 16 below that entry, [[medievalist]] attacks [[Avalon's Willow]], saying among other things that "She's engaging in [[orcing]], performance art and pretty much [[blog-whoring]]."

January 14, 2009: [[Untitled Post about Avalon's Willow's open letter to Bear]] by [[Sarah Monette]] on [http://truepenny.livejournal.com/625351.html LJ]

:Acknowledges that intent and result do not always match up. Comments devolve into failfest, marked particularly by [[Macallister Stone]], [[medievalist]] and [[Emma Bull]] invalidating criticism because it isn't academic enough and also because some readers aren't as smart as the writers they criticize.

mac_stone's post about child abuse, which gave a checklist of warning signs that a person is abusive, and compared the critiques of mac_stone in LJ comments to emotional abuse patterns, including attributing intentions of meaning to a person that they deny, ie [[false consciousness]]. (pnh may have commented on this post about people not being smart). (screencaps anyone?)

(some other stuff here)

January 19, 2009: [[copracat]], assuming pnh's comment on mac_stone's post was made with [http://zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com/487308.html?thread=2088076#t2088076 knowledge of the context of discussion being held], posted about it [http://copracat.livejournal.com/449470.html in her LJ]. The comments to this post appear to be pnh's only remaining public comments in RaceFail 09.

(including pnh and others commenting on copracat's LJ in discussion of mac_stone's statements)
(Patrick Nielsen Hayden deletes his pnh LJ)

January 26, 2009: [[I'm taking this about as well as you'd expect.]] by [[Teresa Nielsen Hayden]] on [http://www.freezepage.com/1232982493SXILEBRINI LJ]<ref>[http://tnh.livejournal.com/6256.html Teresa Nielsen Hayden's original post on LJ]: now [[flock|friends-locked]].</ref>

:Teresa's response to Patrick's emotional state after been called on his comments. Original post and comments full of fail and including several problematic uses of language.

January 26, 2009: [[My only statement on the cultural appropriation imbroglio]] by [[David Levine]] on [http://davidlevine.livejournal.com/154220.html LJ]

:In response to Levine finding out why [[Patrick Nielsen Hayden]] deleted his LJ. With comments disabled, Levine proceeds to chide the "anti-racist" side for scaring him and other white writers off of writing characters of color and ends with "Is this what you wanted?"

January 27, 2009: [[The last comment that went up before I flocked the previous post.]] by [[Teresa Nielsen Hayden]] on [http://tnh.livejournal.com/6434.html LJ]

:A post meant to explain why the previous post disappeared for so many readers. Some conversations and fights continued in the comments here and include failure by Teresa to shut down problem comments and language because the people using said language were on her side.

(Include some of the apologies made by Bear, Monette, Shetterly, and others)

List of gay male relationships in SF

2009-03-02T03:14:52Z

Ide Cyan: /* List of overt relationships and works */ Fitzroy & Foster

This is a list of gay relationships in SF. Emphasis is on significant relationships between two (or more) well-developed male characters. The relationships must be same-sex and acknowledged as romantic/sexual (slashed homoerotic subtext, a la K/S, doesn't count) but the characters need not identify as gay. One would expect relationship scenes in the work.

See also:

Pretty Bloody: The Women of Horror

2009-02-27T22:49:43Z

Ide Cyan: more

'''''Pretty Bloody: The Women of Horror''''' is a television doctumentary about women involved in the [[horror]] genre, directed by [[Donna Davies]] and produced by [[Kimberlee McTaggart]].

The documentary interviews several women about their love of and contributions to the horror genre (see below for a list of the women featured). It is an hour-long (including commercial breaks), made-for-television, Canadian production, with a focus on the North American horror industry in film and literature. It aired on [[Space]] on February 25, [[2009]].

''Pretty Bloody'' offers a well-rounded approach to women of horror, with interviews from women in special effects and marketing, and positions of leadership (as editors and directors, for instance), and testimonies about the appeal of horror to the participants, it also goes into what women get out of the more [[gendered]] roles of women in horror, such as career opportunities within the [[scream queen]] niche for [[actress]]es, the emergence of the [[final girl]] in horror narratives and its impact on viewers, and the interviewees talk about the clichés of [[ghost stories]] as women's horror, and the "softcore" crossover appeal of [[supernatural romance]] to non-horror-[[fan]]s.

== Featuring ==
Women interviewed in this documentary:
* [[Jovanka Vuckovic]], editor in chief of [[Rue Morgue]] magazine
* [[Karen Walton]], writer of ''[[Ginger Snaps (feature film)|Ginger Snaps]]''
