Oh, man, your account of the archetypal Comic Book Guy reactions to your skills in painting miniatures...well, I'm cracking up.
I can think of a number of women who are published authors in the sci fi/fantasy genre, e.g., LeGuin, McCaffrey, Julian May, Bradley, etc., and yeah, in my admittedly brief exploration of the JRRT fanfic universe, there does seem to be a preponderance of women writers. So, it is kinda surprising that there are fewer women in the Critters Workshop writing original work. Critters Workshop, eh? I'm guessing the latter has something to do with...critiquing, yes?
That was interesting...I shall have to go back and read some of the articles that she linked!
Here, please allow me to link to the best, yes, the most scintillatingly eloquent of the articles! :^D
The guy on the far left is one of my closest friends. He was my host when I was in Cambridge and you wrote in response to my review of AMC.
In searching for "Hot or Not," I came across this old entry, which I think may be the only other reference to Tolkien as a searchable word, although I think one of my co-bloggers might have used "afrodoist" once in one of his rationalist's rants.
