Topic Topics February

[superborb]

I know this is a meme that most people do in December or January, but February always seems kind of slow after the rush of Snowflake! Also I couldn't do January anyway.

Give a topic and (optionally) a day, and I'll ramble for some undetermined number of words on said topic.

1. silveredeye - Birds? :D
2. momijizukamori - Favorite/least favorite c-novel tropes?
3. silveredeye - A long form news article you really like (and why you like it)
4. cortue - Do you have any feelings about sci-fi as a person working in STEM? Do you want things to make actual sense or prefer they don't even try? Is there any way you'd like STEM stuff to be depicted differently in fiction?
5. china_shop - Something about AO3?
6. nnozomi - Anything to do with translation issues (cnovel or otherwise)
7. chestnut_pod - Thoughts/opinions/knowledge on The Publishing Industry. (/Industries.) Whatever that looks like -- ebook pricing? abominable translation practices? fact-checking in non-fic? changes in YA style over the last 20 years? Chinese specfic as received in the Anglosphere? literally anything

22. halfcactus - CATS (your fav colorings/encounters/behaviors/whatever AND fav cat-related media, whether the cat is the central character or not). Would also like to know about how you got into Cats (musical) 👀 Who was your fav cat, what was your fav song
23. dragongirlg - Potentially harmful cultural misconceptions or erasure in cnovel fandom and how to have productive conversations about them
24. cortue - Thoughts about "balancing" the amount of time spent on the internet during isolation
