131, 141
(Anonymous) 2009-01-01 05:42 am (UTC)(link)I used to work at a literary magazine that published around 5 short fiction pieces each issue, and I was one of the people who read through the submissions and chose what was published and what was crap. Out of everything we read, MAYBE 2% were actually put in the magazine, and out of the handful that we published, I could maybe say 3 manuscripts in all the time I worked there really caught my eye as well-written enough to get "actually" published (as in in something other than a magazine). All of these people submitting these pieces were "serious" writers, serious enough to submit their work to a magazine and other publishers. Also, almost all of the people working with me were English/Creative writing majors, and so it was only natural that we traded our works around with each other. NOT ONCE did I find something a coworker handed me publish-able; most of it was cliche sci-fi/fantasy, written with British-sounding jargon when it didn't need to be (we're American...), or very overly stylized. And yes, you guessed it, most of my coworkers knew what "fandom" meant, and would sit in the reading room talking about anime, Harry Potter, etc. half of the damn time. (I'm obvs into fandom as well, being on f!s, but not very seriously, and I hate anime.) So yeah, I really don't have any hope for what I usually see.
(tl;dr, I know X) )
(And I'm posting anonymously because several people on my flist are trying to get published, and I know go to f!s...)
141. And liking anime, video games, and other things that create fandom are any more "intellectual"? They may sometimes have deeper storylines, but people in general don't see them as such. I like most of the shows in this secret just fine, and I don't consider myself dumb.
(OP)
(Anonymous) 2009-01-01 05:51 am (UTC)(link)Really what I'm trying to say about 141 is that it's okay to like something even if it isn't intellectual...a lot of "nerdy" things are just as silly to me as the things you mentioned seem to be to you, so no-one's really winning here.
