In an untitled post, [info]bridgetmkennit explains the tags system and the four different types of warnings at the Archive Of Our Own, and how to use them.

There have been a few posts on BDSM, community rules and terminology, intended as resources for writers and to clear up some common misunderstandings. In Hi! My name is Minxie…, [info]the_minx_17 talks about general rules and some stereotypes. [info]irana wrote On BDSM, Part I to explain the abbreviations SCC and RACK, and to talk about consent. On BDSM, Part II covers negotiation (both Scene and Relationship negotiation).

[info]bitterfig: where do they make subtext?: "I always wonder where stuff like (i.e. homoerotic and/or incestuous subtext) this comes from, is it intentional or just a quirk of chemistry?"

[info]musesfool: lacrimae volvuntur inanes: "I would like to be able to talk about the episode on its own merits, because I thought it was a fantastic episode emotionally and a great way to go into hiatus, but I am SO FUCKING SICK of the way this show treats female characters."

[i]not_yet_defined posting in [i]dollhouse:

I'm sure you all know this already. But it's cancelled. All 13 episodes will still air though. They will be dumped in December and January.

Nobody plays here. But I will still post and keep this place running through the end of the series. If anyone else ever wants to pipe in, you are still most welcome to do so.

[i]squeaky posting in [i]dollhouse: At least its official

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ibd4c93af8a3194fa8f32bc3b11c6126a

Officially Dollhouse has been canceled. But Fox has committed to airing the remainder of the 13 episode order. I hope Joss actually wrote and ending to the show, and we aren't left hanging.

[i]not_yet_defined posting in [i]dollhouse: Marketing Strategies

You know, the marketing strategies for Dollhouse may not save the show. But they are pretty freaking awesome none the less.


The Rossum Corporation

If you go to this site and play around you eventually click on "Contacts"

Where you find a phone number. Not a 555-5555 tv phone number, but an actual phone number.

If you dial it, you reach a voicemail box. Some time later you get a message that says "Ditch the tech".

if you go to ditchthetech.com you see a vid warning you about the Rossum Corporation. You also see a link, if you click it, a PDF poster uploads. It's where I got the image in this icon from.

Additionally, while loading, on the bottom left hand of your browser you might notice it says "transferring data from www.wipethefuture.com"

if you click on Wipe The Future it simply says "Rossum Knows That You Know."

Creepy.

And awesome. Yay for viral marketing.
