community policies
The maryrenaultfics community was founded to discuss Renault’s work and promote Renault-based fic. In order to ensure that the community's focus remains clear, posts which focus on Oliver Stone's film about Alexander the Great are not considered appropriate. While it is true that Oliver Stone has claimed he was inspired by Renault’s novels, this does not mean that his movie is Renault canon. The members of maryrenaultfics do not want their community diverted from its central purpose.
Is this a quote from the comm? I can't find it on the public LJ profile. Without quotes it looks very strange and not PPOV.
Also found this recent discussion on naraht's journal about the comm's policies.--æþel (talk) 21:00, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- A fair point. And I told naraht that I'd write up something about that discussion—and it's been long enough now that I doubt if anyone will be adding more to it. (Note to self: must do.) -- Greer Watson (talk) 23:12, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
wording question
I can't decide if this is a redundancy, or if a way to describe gender/sex/those things in a way I'm not familiar: "The community included members of both sexes, with (by comparison with many other fandoms) a notable contingent of men, though the majority of writers of Renault fan fiction are women." --MPH (talk) 13:22, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- If anything, I'd say the wording is old-fashioned, though it could be deliberate? Otherwise, perhaps The community includes a larger contingent of men than many other media fandom communities, though the majority of writers of Renault fan fiction are women. would be simpler.--æþel (talk) 00:25, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, why not. (Speaking as the one who perpetrated it.) --Greer Watson (talk) 03:16, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
