Eureka, erasure, and meta.

[hopefulnebula]

I just posted a rant about erasure in Eureka episode 4.01. Needless to say, it has spoilers for the whole series, but if you've seen the episode or just don't care about spoilers, I'd love to hear what you all have to say about it.

Success stories

[duskpeterson]

There've been so many horror stories floating around fandom recently about prejudice against disabled folk that I thought I'd offer, as a sort of thank-you note, my own experiences in fandom, in regards to my disabilities.

( Starting back in 2002 )

I've been quite pleased when the requests I made had an impact on the long-term policies of the individuals or organizations. But even in the cases of one-time assistance, I'm struck by the unfailing desire I've encountered of people wishing to help.

Reading the recent stories about disabled people in fandom, I gather I've been very, very lucky. That makes me all the more grateful.
