[Learning Community Group's Research Network :: Main Page] "Eventually, I grew frustrated with the human story -- For Pete's sake, Parker, just tell Mary Jane you love her! -- and started looking for the ''good parts." The clear plastic tab at the top corner of either side of the console makes it outrageously easy to barrel past whole scenes, until something ''exciting" happens.

[Dreaded Purple Master] I was right the first time: She's amazingly intelligent, outrageously beautiful, adored by all around her -- and absolutely detested by most reading her adventures. She's Mary Sue, the most reviled character type in media fan fiction. Basically, she's a character representing the author of the story, an avatar, the writer's projection into an interesting world full of interesting people whom she watches weekly and thinks about daily.

[Tilneysandtrapdoors.com] Sick & Wicked: A Writer's Weblog » WWJD (What Would Jane Do?): In other fandoms, constructively critical readings of fan fiction is expected. In the Jane Austen fandom, negative commentary is frowned upon, considered not “nice” (sorry, Henry). And God forbid Janeites aren’t always “nice.” We are probably the only large fandom whose pastiches can be commercially published, and yet there is an atmosphere of nicey-nicey don’t-say-crap-if-you-have-a-mouthful about it. I don’t like it, because it gives the real humorless purists and naysayers something to hang their hat upon; “Oh, this sequel stinks, so by definition they all stink.” If there was more care and attention paid to the published stuff, if the reading public only supported that which is well-done (and heaven knows that is a small minority) and the authors were willing to accept constructive criticism instead of instantly going on the defensive at the most innocuous critical comment, then the genre wouldn’t be a literary ghetto.

[Guardian.co.uk] Guardian Unlimited | Weblog: May 19: There are more email-related stories floating about at the moment than you can shake a stick at: Wired has details of Yahoo's new email standard, DomainKeys: the International Herald Tribune on Google's soon-to-be unveiled file and text search tool: ZDNet says some users of the trial Gmail service found earlier this week that 'their storage limits had quietly been raised to one million megabytes, or one terabyte': and last but not least, Internet Week reports on the launch of Lycos's 1 gigabyte email service in a bid to match Gmail's promised free offering, albeit with a £3.49 price tag.

[Lies.com] lies.com: In each case, we have a media outlet that has run a story damaging to the Administration, where the specific evidence used turns out to be bogus (or, in this latest case, at least potentially bogus). But in each case, there also is substantial other evidence that makes the story seem plausible, if not proven. By attacking the specific piece of bogus evidence, while leaving the large body of corroborating evidence unmentioned, the Bush people are able to fight the public relations battle on ground of their own choosing. Suddenly the story isn’t about the underlying scandal (Bush’s spotty National Guard record, or the ill-treatment of muslim prisoners), but is instead about the lax reporting standards and irrational anti-Bush animus of the media.

[Tinglealley.com] Tingle Alley » Love story: Jane Eyre: Because it’s The Book for me (along with Pale Fire) ”” and because the moment when Mr. Rochester catches Jane at the foot of the stairs and says “Good night, my””” then bites his lip and departs, made me swoon when I first read it in fifth-grade, thereby setting up an unfortunate pattern of attraction to churlish men who have difficulty expressing emotion, that pretty much defined my dating life till Mr. Tingle (who is frequently churlish and silent but this time, you know, it worked out).
