Anybody know if there's a Jossverse equivalent of hp_essays or hp_fictalk? I'm loving the meta stuff on both those comms but floundering on the fact that I'm only a casual Harry Potter fan and don't know a lot of the minor canon points that are brought up.

Also, spam me.

They all sound interesting, I'll check them out. I've been having a lot of fun reading all the Harry Potter talk on various boards. My big problem is that my background's in science, I don't know anything about philosophy or lit crit and so a lot of the Jossverse essays I've seen have flown over my head.

I'm similar. I'm running on "wot I picked up from hanging out with Art students in cafes". It's enough for me to follow the argument but not enough for me to participate in most discussions. I find it easier to articulate my position through writing fic instead.
