people are no longer being ushered into fanfic by people who can explain the history and rules to them

I'm not sure that this is quite as true as it seems. If you manage to find fanfic on your own, and stay away from a couple of traps like fanfiction.net, you'll probably be in places where people will mention to you if you've stepped across some boundary line. There are also some other pressures--many archives and fests have specific spaces for disclaimers, indicating that it's generally considered good practice (if legally dubious) to have one.

Mostly I'm just commenting to note that it's odd to be reading a blog I normally read from an RL perspective, and to come across people I know well in fandom in the post...

I should note, I'm remembering with great amusement. Humor meter's off on vacation, it seems.

Cap #35, you're reminding me of the time a group picture of the HP slash community pornish_pixies was posted...one poor young soul replied, "Ew, you're all old and fat!"

Teresa, would this be an appropriate time to beg that essay on The Left Hand of Darkness as slash that you've talked about before?
