Oct. 17th, 2012 06:54 pmIt's OTW fundraiser time again. There are some lovely posts over at the OTW website:
How the OTW changed my life, in which Jackiekjono discusses being a vidder over the last couple of decades and how the climate of fear around transforming copyrighted works has changed a lot, in part due to the OTW and fans banding together.
Preserving Fannish History through The Fan Culture Preservation Project, which seeks to preserve fannish history in all it's variation and richness. It discusses the Media Fandom Oral History Project, a fannish oral history project which aims to document personal fannish histories for posterity. It looks really neat, I'd love to hear them.
OTW and the Fourth Wall, an outstanding post about the 'myth' of the fourth wall, and how by speaking positively about our passions and coming together to actively steer our path through the world we become stronger.
I haven't had a chance to read through all the links provided in the posts, but they all look interesting.
