i am so excited to share it!!!!!!

i am in @emilygouldnymag.bsky.social newsletter today giving a sneaky preview of my book and chatting all things fanfiction and heated rivalry 😎🤩 nymag.substack.com/p/byron-was-...

hiiiii🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗 would love to participate!

LMAOOOO wifi here is so good and fast ive been online like a completely regular-for-me amount

fyi i am currently in antarctica having the time of my life

Such excellent analysis (and fandom historical context)! also this is where I am right now, but back in regular non HR fandom

Q: why is heated rivalry fandom so crazy?
A: because it has affected many people who have either never been fans in this way before or haven't been since they were literal teenagers

i establish Heated Rivalry as a prototypical Toxic Airborne Fujo Event, or perhaps a fandom version of the pluribus disease:

thank you allegra! this is very good. the latest round of "what's a slash?" coverage due to HR has been driving me steadily nuts

another great essay from someone who Gets It

and as always allegra is right!!!!

ty!!!!!! :)))

Everyone is wrong about M/M except me Yaoi, slash, and the complicated history of pornography by women, for women

it's not a full oral history (though a sizeable chapter of my fandom book out next year will look at slash's spread out from Star Trek) but here's my take on Heated Rivalry as a culmination of 50 years of slash history: tchotchke.substack.com/p/everyone-i...

Very few, if any, of the Heated Rivalry takes out there have this important point in the screenshot below, and I'm so glad its out there.

would anyone care to peruse my Thoughts On Yaoi™ ? great i knew you would. anyway here's why Heated Rivalry blew up and i'm right and everyone else is wrong

These are the kinds of things that make @terrorcamp.bsky.social such a joy to be involved with. Thank you to everyone who attended, presented, made a poster or shared art, and helped organize, especially the brilliant @tchotchke.bsky.social! Can't wait to do it again next year

So happy to be nerding out at @terrorcamp.bsky.social 🤓 A rare and wonderful space where academic inquiry meets fan convention energy. Great to be with people across the world who are brilliantly, obsessively in love with polar exploration like me 😆

"What if there was an event—online, like all events still were at that point—that combined the best elements of an academic conference and a fan convention?" - @tchotchke.bsky.social on the origins of @terrorcamp.bsky.social

couldn’t do it without you!!!! The best kind of second ❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a pleasure to moderate this conversation. Takeaways: joy, naivety/approaching your work like an amateur, integrity - all sit at the foundation of creative work that lasts in a world designed to make it seem disposable.

TODAY’S THE DAY! ❄️🤩🎉

We can’t wait to kick off Terror Camp V today, starting at 9:00am PST / 12:00pm EST / 6:00pm CET.

You should have received a link to join the conference via Eventbrite email — let us know if you have any problems, and we’ll help!

This weekend is the next iteration of Terror Camp, a free online conference for polar exploration enthusiasts, which has the highest level of intellectual content and hilarity I have ever encountered: www.terror.camp @terrorcamp.bsky.social

Anyway. There's still good stuff about the Internet. At @terrorcamp.bsky.social on Sunday, I'll be chatting with Edward Berger (The Terror, Conclave, All Quiet on the Western Front) & Florian Hofmeister (The Terror, Tár, True Detective). Have questions, check out the link in my last Re-post.

The Terror’s aesthetic was partially inspired by the visual record of later expeditions like the Endurance. Screenshot from series The Terror, courtesy of the author.
