Pathetic Avengers Fangirl: On Shipping and Fanboys →

patheticfangirl:

This is my letter to angry fanboys.

First, let it be known that I love most fanboys. When I go to a con, most of the guys there are respectful. They share a passion with me, and that’s awesome. We’re all on a rock floating through space with little connection to most of the people who surround…

A popular exercise among High School creative writing teachers in America is to ask students to imagine they have been transformed, for a day, into someone of the opposite sex, and describe what that day might be like. The results, apparently, are uncannily uniform. The girls all write long and detailed essays that clearly show they have spent a great deal of time thinking about the subject. Half of the boys usually refuse to write the essay entirely. Those who do make it clear they have not the slightest conception what being a teenage girl might be like, and deeply resent having to think about it.

David Graeber, “Beyond Power/Knowledge: An Exploration of Power, Ignorance and Stupidity” (pdf)

He also says much the same thing in “Revolutions in Reverse,” an essay included in the book Revolutions in Reverse (which can be read in Scribd at the link). I’d been meaning to post a quote from the second source for a while, thanks to Aaron Brady for the actual excerpt above. That last link is a good essay on the recent Rush Limbaugh BS and how patriarchy works and how male privilege is defended by having men like Limbaugh around to keep women’s opinions out of the allowed discourse on the subject. To keep high school boys forever unable to write essays that could relate to the issue of needing hormonal birth control to control ovarian cysts.

We talked about this a lot this year in English. Girls are taught from a young age that we have to connect to what we read, so when we do excercises in class, everyone talks about how they connect to Huck Finn, or to Jay Gatsby, or to Julius Caesar. We connect to all the characters because we have to, because if we don’t then we won’t survive through the years of school.

Boys don’t deal with this. Practically every book or story they encounter from the time they begin school is full of male characters and written by men. So when confronted with female characters of female authors, they don’t know what to do. They feel as if they can’t connect with these characters because of the gender boundaries. As one woman in my class pointed out, “girls have to connect to male characters, but boys don’t have to connect to female characters.” By the time they’re my age, it’s not even intentional: many honestly think that they won’t understand a female character because they have no shared experiences whatsoever.

Giants of Main Street →

Pre-order, or buy commissions, books etc. through our IndieGoGo campaign to help print Giants of Main Street, the sixth anthology by Cloudscape Comics.

Featuring (as always) an eye-popping variety of Vancouver artists, the theme this time is urban fantasy, and I drew one of the comics by writer Shannon Campbell.
Giants lives up to its name, with its 7.25x11” size, 150 pages, beautiful black&white comics, an enchanting bestiary of urban fantasy fauna… and an appetite for bread made out of the pulverised bones of humans.

Please share with your indie-comic loving friends or fantasy fiends!

Watercolour commissions open →

by ~kelipipo

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
Nope, these are not Christmas commissions — I really doubt the post would bring these in time! Still, here’s the nitty-gritty:

I’m opening five slots for watercolour commissions. Please reserve a spot by emailing me at rretale(AT)yahoo[DOT]com — “first email, first served!” Open to everyone, dA members or not. This won’t be the last time I do commissions, so no worries. It’s also fine if you just want to send an email to reserve a spot for now, and come up with the actual request later.

These particular commissions will not be extremely detailed, and I use mostly limited colours to do them — but it results in a spo

Mkittyoooo: Some discussion Re: self published anthologies →

mkittyoooo:

So, yeah there is some opinion going around about the somewhat newer trend of Anthology projects flared up from our “Once Upon a Time…” anthology, I guess.

I’m not posting this to like… argue, I just want to share my thoughts.

So the two opinions are:

1. Yay, awesome I wanna be in a book!
