eumeliaWhile I love most of what I write, I am always surprised to find myself quoted or asked to be linked to other LJ's.
But this is the first time I was really surprised to find myself linked, because as I said, I am usually asked to be linked or quoted.
I was reading the linked posts that appear on the syndication![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
fangirls_attack and suddenly I come back to my own LJ!
How cool is that!
Here's the page on which my post appears, I know it's silly, but I'm so proud of myself!
All the other posts are fun to read as well.
Add to that, that that particular post is not my best, IMO.

this latest essay was couple of levels above anything i've previously seen from you.
Really? I really don't consider it my best, which was why I was surprised to see it elsewhere.

Date: 2006-09-12 09:59 am (UTC)Your latest essay is couple notches above your previous ones for a couple of main reasons:
(1) Whoa, there's a point in there. In previous posts, if there was any what-I-want-to-say then it was lost in the disorganization. This is also why I refer to them as "posts" and this as "essay".
(2) Examples, details - not just general claims. These are part of the big differences between an essay, and ranting to your in-the-know friends.
(3) It had something resembeling a structure. "Joss Whedon is considered an example of positive femail representation. While this is generally true, there are examples of streotypical, negative female representation in his work as well. More than that: Joss Whedon's relative 'progressiveness' is a counterexample to the general tendency in pop culture." Then you presented quite many examples, including recent ones, and sealed off the essay by repeating the main point. (That femail characters are misrepresented in pop culture.)
