So I had this long meta blog that covered the following things:

The schism between ASC and the rest of Trek fandom
Why ASC is Darwinian, thus producing the best ficcers in Trek fandom
Why mailing lists tend to coddle and stifle any kind of constructive FB
Why authors prefer to hide out on mailing lists and not venture forth into the brave world of newsgroups
Why the "underrated" or unknown authors in non-ASC Trek circles are the authors to read in ASC circles
Fic taxes and how much is too much and non-writers making general sweeping statements about authors who need to promote their work more often in order to get out of the "underrated" category
Which authors I think are "underrated" (No, I'm not going to tell you who I think is "overrated" - oh what the heck, email me and I'll consider telling you).
If anyone ever rec'd me as a J/C author I'd fall over on my face. How much promotion, btw, do you think it'll take to cast me as a J/C author, hmmm?

But you can't read any of it because Netscape experienced a fatal error and I've got 100 pages of strategy to read between now and tomorrow morning and so, no resurrection of said-blog will happen tonight.
