Cat @eyeofacat.bsky.social · 28/09/2026LRP on the Cut article: i wonder whether this sort of approach to fandom that's all about *reading* fic, and reading a very specific kind of fic, and is quite isolated from the places where people are doing anything else, is where this attitude is coming from on places like r/ao3 (the 'there' below) 180
Reposted by CatElizabeth Minkel @elizabethminkel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The vast influx of new folks over the past few years aren't interested in fan*dom*. They're interested in fanfiction—specifically reading as much as possible. That's what I saw reflected in this piece. We passed around fic links like tequila shots etc. The constant language of *guilty* pleasure. 2141

Cat @eyeofacat.bsky.social · 21/09/2026A thing I love about Dwarf Fortress is the amount of detail the game generates for everything. Behold the cougar who is ‘not a private person’, the elk bird who ‘tends to be passive in discussions’ & the carnosaur who is ‘quite comfortable with others that have a different appearance or culture’. 032
