[forthwritten]

Zero at the Bone linked to Invisible Audiences? Invisible to Whom? - don't know if that's been included?

[elf]

Thanks; it's been added to the next batch.

[gloss]

Thank you very much for doing this.

Warning: angry white girl - a little late, but better that than never. Probably needs an additional warning for epic failure of poster as a middle-schooler.

[elf]

It's in the next set.

[facetofcathy]

Aqueduct Press link does not exist.

[gloss]

That's weird -- I read it earlier. It was a great post.

[lisaquestions]

Here's a valid link, although Eleanor's been deleting and reposting, so it could go away again.

[jadey]

It seems to have a new URL: http://aqueductpress.blogspot.com/2009/05/mammothfail.html

I think it was renamed.

[jadey]

Wait, no, I lied. That's an older post, sorry (I thought it looked familiar, but that must have been from reading it earlier). I also read post #2 this morning and I have no idea where it went.

[jetamors]

Looks like she might've deleted it:

I wrote two more long posts on MammothFail and deleted both. I don't feel right jumping up and down on Pat Wrede, who is an old acquaintance of mine; and I figure other people have covered the topic.

[lady_ganesh]

No, that's the post that seems to have been deleted.

[jetamors]

Ah, okay. It was still visible from the blog's front page when I linked to it (though it's gone now); I guess there was a little lag involved.

[lisaquestions]

Try this link:

http://aqueductpress.blogspot.com/2009/05/mammothfail-2_578.html

[jetamors]

That works, and if I go to the blog's front page I can see it there as well; I'm guessing she undeleted.

[lisaquestions]

She deleted twice and posted three times as far as I can tell.

[softestbullet]

This link works now!

[elf]

I'll try to fix it later; can't get to blogspot from work so I can't find out if I scrambled the link, or if it was removed.

[jadey]

The new link provided upthread by lisaquestions goes to a different post. She truly has removed the original 2nd post (though not the original 1st post), but has now posted a third post (but still under the title of Mammothfail 2), which is primarily discussing a different book with a similar issue of disappearing a people, but not 13th Child directly. There's a brief explanation at the top of this new post about having deleted multiple posts and why.

Racialicious: Write What You Know: Limiting or Authentic?

Thanks; included in next set.

blah blah my thoughts on yaoi

Thanks, I got it!

[zeroatthebone.wordpress.com]

Thanks for the link! :)

http://starlady.dreamwidth.org/213575.html My preliminary thoughts on actually reading the book.

[hokuton_punch]

just last week i was merely heck - not directly related, but on the general topic of appropriation.

[elf]

It's lovely... but not mammothfail connected. (I'll ponder how far we're stretching the topic. And maybe just rec the post in my journal, 'cos it's really really good; it just doesn't seem to be on-topic for this.)

[hokuton_punch]

Okay, perfectly understandable (I was kinda debating myself how on-topic it was).
