A bunch of lengthy fandom- and media-specific discussions.

Spontaneous discussion of A/B/O worldbuilding on fandomsecrets.

Discussion about when it's okay (or when it even makes sense) for writers/showrunners to keep a secret from their actors.

"What would make a canon Jewish-feeling, for you (beyond actually being about Jewish characters)? What canons give you that feel?"

Trope discussion: "Marriages (or local equivalent) where the characters aren't just pretending to be a couple, they're hiding their orientations and pretending to be a same-sex couple, to get some kind of legal benefits."

Doctor Who thread from right when The Timeless Children aired.

"Cool Concepts Ignored by Canon - Or underutilized. What really interesting ideas did your canon introduce, only to immediately discard? What are your canon's biggest missed opportunities?"

"In the whole discussion about Ao3 warnings for racism, a lot of people have commented that most racially offensive (or offensive for other non-racism reasons) fanworks didn't seem consciously so or in some cases didn't even realize they were using stereotypes or had negative implications. I'm curious about broad patterns in fanworks (as opposed to weird outliers) that people have found offensive, but probably were not consciously intended to be so by the author."

"Times when a name in canon means something in another language or culture - and it's funny or results in an unintentional effect. Example: the Grisha Trilogy. Grisha is intended to be a cool sounding name for the elite magic users. The author and fans refer to the world as Grishaverse. But in Russian, Grisha is a common name and the equivalent of Greg. Welcome to the Gregverse."

"It feels like a lot of mainstream sci-fi is aimed at the male demographic. What are some sci-fi media you feel is specifically for women? Alternatively, what would be some details you'd include in a sci-fi story trying to appeal to women?"

"SFF Canons with powers tied to gender: Favorite examples? Least favorite examples? Thoughts on the trope in general?"
