Three excellent items from my Dreamwidth travels:

I’m in awe of [personal profile] petra’s skill with fannish poetry:

You can see it in progress at this prompt post https://petra.dreamwidth.org/840970.html

This one blew my mind:

Higgledy Piggledy
Hercules Mulligan
Renegade tailor tied
Tories in knots,

Managed his shop full of
Haberdashderringdo
Carefully measuring
Breeches and plots.

All the villanelles https://petra.dreamwidth.org/tag/poetry:+villanelle


[personal profile] ljwrites writes on DW about many things, including this helpful meta about "Policing and woobiefication: two sides of the same coin".

https://lj-writes.dreamwidth.org/99391.html?format=light

Fandom policing and villain woobiefication/apologia seem to be polar opposites, but at heart they agree on one thing: That your morality is defined by the wholesomeness of the content you make and consume.
[… snip …]
If you truly disagree with the fandom police's premise, then actually disagree, and don't validate the flawed and harmful premise by spinelessly seeking a loophole for yourself like "Yeah people who like immoral shit and deserve to be mistreated/shamed, but I'm nothing like those immoral people because [horrible validation of real-life immorality]."

Did LJ_Writes ever apologise for all the harassment of other fans, especially Rose Tico fans and fans of her actress, that she did in Star Wars fandom, or no?

ETA: I actually, generally, have a problem with comparing sten posts for whatever your problematic fave is with the kind of doxxing and bullying that goes on with the fandom police/anti crowd.

It looks like "haberdash" and "derring-do" don't coincide on any google-indexed pages, so it's almost certainly a novel coinage.
