Why does het fic get such a bad rap?

Why does het fic get such a bad rap? is a 2006 essay by Ivana Spankoff (iamtheliquorr).
"This is not going to be one of those het-vs-slash circle-jerks (at least I hope not). This is partially in defense of het; partially just me wondering why it gets such a bad rap in fandom. So I'm going to take on the (unflattering) generalizations most commonly thrown at het fic and why I'm genuinely bewildered (and honestly, more than a little annoyed) by them."

Why it doesn't matter what Benedict Cumberbatch thinks of fan fiction

Why it doesn't matter what Benedict Cumberbatch thinks of fan fiction is a 2014 article by Elizabeth Minkel in NewStatesman.
The article's header: "Fan fiction gives women and other marginalised groups the chance to subvert the mainstream perspective, to fracture a story and recast it in their own way. It’s not for the benefit of middle-aged men with a vast audience and little understanding of the form."
The article recounts some disparaging remarks about fanfiction, specifically slash, made by Benedict Cumberbatch (the actor who portrays Sherlock Holmes in BBC's Sherlock) in recent interviews. It also discusses, among other things, fanfiction's audience and creators, the incident where journalist Caitlin Moran demanded that Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman read some Johnlock fanfic she’d found on the internet at a promotional event, and Orlando Jones' views on fanfiction. 
==Excerpts from the Article==
==Comments by Elizabeth Minkel (and Flourish Klink)==
The author discussed this later that year in the interview Fansplaining: GeekyCon and Meredith Levine:

Why the "Moonlighting" Argument is a Fallacy

Why the "Moonlighting" Argument is a Fallacy is a 1997 essay by Dianora. It has the subtitle: "A Treatise/DIAtribe."
It was posted to alt.tv.x-files.creative, the author's website, and archived at The Gossamer Project.
==Author's Notes==
==Includes Footnotes!==
==Some Topics Discussed==
* Moonlighting and its failure to successfully sell fans the romantic relationship between Maddie and David
* similar failures in the shows: Remington Steele, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Who's the Boss 
* MSR, Chris Carter, and why The X-Files won't fall into the same trap if a romantic relationship is allowed to develop between Dana Scully and Fox Mulder
** "Reason Number One: Mulder and Scully's Relationship is Not the Only Plot/Purpose of "The X-Files." Think about "Moonlighting.""
** "Reason Number Two: ... The Primary Tension Between Mulder and Scully is Not a Sexual Tension, But Rather One of Intuition vs. Science."
** "Reason Number Three: Mulder and Scully are Professional, Well-Developed Characters."
** "Reason Number Four: Mulder and Scully Already Love Each Other." 
** "Reason Number Five: We're Not Asking For Much."
** "Reason Number Six: It Can Work, or, It's All in the Writing."

Why were we allowed to read Animorphs as kids, anyway?

Why were we allowed to read Animorphs as kids, anyway? is a meta essay by SoloMoon (aka tumblr user thejakeformerlyknownasprince) discussing why the 90's science fiction series Animorphs was marketed to children as young as six when it contains, "drug addiction, body dysmorphia, suicide, imperialism, PTSD, racism, sexism, body horror, grey-and-black morality, slavery, torture, major character death, forced cannibalism, and genocide."SoloMoon, Why were we allowed to read Animorphs as kids, anyway? (archived), posted 02 April 2017. Accessed 03 September 2018. 
The question of why the Animorphs books where deemed appropriate for children is a common question for people who revisit the books as adults, many of whom are surprised to find its mature themes now leap off the page from books they mostly just remember for other, more child-friendly things.
As of October, 2019, the post has over 8,000 notes — a large amount for a post in the Animorphs fandom.
==Background==
SoloMoon links several examples of posts asking the question her meta answers, including a version of the popular tumblr post did anyone actually ever read those animorph books (did anyone actually ever read those animorph books), wherein several people who admit they only ever looked at the covers are told:
Another reply in the same tumblr thread says, "Yeah, I still have animorph related nightmares even years later thanks to those books."askkakuro, did anyone actually ever read those animorph books (archived) Accessed 03 September 2018.
Another example SoloMoon gives is a twitter thread from 2015 where a Harry Potter and Animorphs are compared. 
Someone else in the thread notes that, "One big difference is that Animorphs was aimed at a somewhat younger audience than Harry Potter."@NetbrianT, tweet (archived), posted 31 August 2016. Accessed 03 September 2018.

Wicked Game

Wicked Game is an epic length Scully/Krycek story written by Mare and was the first ever story published for that pairing. The summary is: "Scully makes a deal with the devil. A devil with beautiful green eyes..."
The fic was posted in installments from 1996 to 2001 and remains a WIP. Some of the factors in her not continuing writing were the sudden death of her story editor, the failure of the floppy disc with her draft for the next chapter, and the X-Files ending.Mare's post to RATales, July 10, 2005 After revising and reposting Wicked Game to the RATales mailing list between July and October 2005, she announced her intention to continue it, however sadly this never eventuated.Post to RATales, 8 October 2005
A fan in 1999 wrote: "Another highlight for the future is Mare's Wicked Game. This tale, which sees Scully make a steamy deal with Krycek, was the first Scully/Krycek story to be concieved, since Mare began writing the tale in July of 1996. The story remains a Work in Progress and with the length of the first six chapters already a hefty 300K and more to follow, "Wicked Game" may become the longest SKipper story when completed."

* "Okay, this is all so intriguing! I can hardly stand it, waiting to get enough clues to figure out what the hell Krycek is doing all of this for. [...] A mark of a good writer, leaving the readers guessing and craving for more." - Candace RATales mailing list, August 1, 2005
* "What is even more amazing than the story itself, with its slowly-changing relationship between K & Sc, is the fact that's Mare is so patient as to keep the thread alive after nearly FOUR YEARS!" - Janet RATales mailing list, May 31, 2000
* "Wow, this one has me really hanging on for more! Great premise, cool Krycek,and an nicely-drawn Scully, struggling with how to rationalize this deal. Oh, and great smut!" - Sharyn RATales mailing list, March 5, 1999

Wicked is Gay (and here's why)

Wicked is Gay (and here's why) is a video essay about Wicked, focusing mainly on the musical with context from the book series, as well as the original Wizard of Oz book and film as context. The video makes an argument that the musical works more effectively, in regards to things like character arcs, if Elphaba/Glinda was canonical, rather than merely subtext.
==Topics Discussed==
*Elphaba/Glinda, and how their relationship is presented throughout the show
*Comparison to Elphaba/Fiyero's relationship
*Aspects of the book that also provide homoerotic subtext
*Representation of other aspects of the show, and how they could be adapted or changed in future productions
