Whose “Safe Space” is Fandom Anyway

Whose “Safe Space” is Fandom Anyway (Balancing Boundaries: How to Keep Fandom Safe and Welcoming for All) is a 2018 essay by CameoAmalthea. 
The topics are triggers, antis, safe spaces and fandom, boundaries vs purity culture and proper tagging of fanworks.
"I believe that all adults should have a right to control their bodies and lives and make choices. Again, the hard part is when someone else’s choices effect you. If someone does something that does not involve you, but still upsets you, even hurts you (because emotional pain still hurts) do your boundaries, your right to say ‘no’ give you the right to tell them they’re not allowed to do that. The long answer is you have to learn to accept you can’t control other people."

Whumptober

Whumptober is a month-long annual whump challenge taking inspiration from Inktober. It appears to have been started in 2017 by tumblr user whumpreads (since changed URL to whumpxholic). The "official" Whumptober blog was created by tumblr user la-vie-en-whump, who began hosting their version of the event in 2018. 
Over the years, Whumptober has become a staple in the Whump Community on tumblr. The event has been praised for inspiring and encouraging both seasoned and emerging creators to produce and post new work. Perhaps unsurprisingly, community engagement seems to soar leading up to - and during - this creation challenge. Many official posts include the phrase "Happy Whumping!" - which serves as a recognizable tag and captures the spirit of the event.
==Event History==
In 2017, tumblr user whumpreads (whumpxholic) posted an "Inktober Whump Prompts" list for community use.
In 2018, tumblr user la-vie-en-whump hosted another version of Whumptober (on what is now called the official Whumptober2020 blog). Tumblr user im-here-to-help-you-all-write also hosted Whump!tober and released daily whump prompts for the month of October in 2018. 
In 2019, the official Whumptober blog was updated with new event feature, like an alternative prompts list and improved event info resources. In this second year, this version of Whumptober went somewhat viral in fandom communities and is estimated to have had 400+ active participants.
In 2020, tumblr users Pan2fel, the-wandering-whumper, and fyeahvulnerablemen joined la-vie-en-whump in creating, improving, and moderating Whumptober. Updates include: 31 Official Themes with 93 community-chosen Prompts, an alternative prompts list, an AO3 Collection, and improved FAQ and information resources.

== AI-less Whumptober ==
Generative AI and the impact on fandom arose as an issue in the lead up to 2023's Whumptober. Some fans were opposed to the stance the moderators of Whumptober originally took towards the inclusion or reblogging of AI generated content and to the way the moderators responded to criticism[1], [2], [3]. This led to a group setting up their own Whumtober prompt list and event, calling it AI-less WhumptoberPrompt List for 2023's AI-less Whumptober, Tumblr.
The moderators of Whumptober clarified their stance towards AI generated contentWhumptober - Clarifying statement and other users pointed out the difficulty in even trying to bar AI generated content from events (other than relying on an honour system)Montammil - Tumblr. Some users still opted to stay with the AI-less Whumptober prompts.

Why

Why is a Doctor Who fanvid by humansrsuperior. It was reviewed by phantomviola on July 31, 2009 at the vid commentary LJ community.
The vid won several Gallifrey Awards in 2008.
==Reactions/Reviews==
*"Gorgeous video, even though the subject was sad. I really liked the effect of showing Rose within the outline of the Doctor's body several times - that was really neat and it sets it apart from so many videos that use very basic effects. You definitely know how to use your software without going overboard on the video by putting in too much. Excellent job as always!" feedback at the vid announcement.
*"This is unbelievably beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I have to say that I am in love with the gorgeous color scheme you have used in this piece. I love the dark shades of blue and the burnt gold colors. It adds so much beauty to the look of the video. I'm also blown away by the effect you used where Rose's image is blended into the Doctor's body. That literally took my breath away. It's such a powerful image and you pulled it off brilliantly. As for the song, it's absolutely perfect and I have to find this album by Secondhand Serenade ASAP. All in all, another amazing video! I'm glad you were finally able to finish it and share it. This one is going on my MP3 player for sure. Thank you so much! Keep up the fantastic work!" feedback on page 2 of the vid announcement.
*"This is one of my favorite Ten/Rose vids ever. I love everything about it. The images, the color schemes, the visual effects, the music, etc. I chose this video to analyze mainly because there are so many elements to the story of the Doctor & Rose that are being shown in this piece. I also love how the emotions are constantly changing throughout the video. Even the lyrics of the song change in meaning for both characters. I had never heard this song by Secondhand Serenade until I saw this video. Needless to say, it became one of my favorites soon after. You could watch this video without the music and every shot is perfectly paced to the rhythm of the song. Being a musician, this is something I truly admire. In this commentary, I will be focusing on the connection between the images and the lyrics, as well as the use of visual effects and the underlying themes of the relationship between the Doctor and Rose."feedback at the vid commentary review.

Why?

why? is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer grief fanvid created by YouTube user SweetAndBitterCherry. It consists of scenes from the Season 6 episode "The Body". This episode is renowned by critics and fans as one of the most realistic depictions of grief shown on television, and by some it is considered one of the greatest episodes of television ever broadcast. 
The fanvid includes several scenes from the episode, which are broken up by various shots of quotes on black backgrounds. Though the original episode includes no non-diegetic sound to show the harsh reality of grief, "why?" differs from the episode by including non-diegetic instrumental music.

WhyIncision

WhyIncision was an X-Files Yahoo Groups mailing list that discussed fanfic like book clubs would discuss a novel. Each week, the moderators would select a story or two and, with the authors' approval, the group would respond to daily discussion topics based on the story/stories of the week.
The authors of that week's stories were encouraged to join the list, but asked to refrain from the discussion of their story for the first day to maximize reader participation. After that, authors were free to post whatever comments they liked.

Why AUs don't work for me

Why AUs don't work for me is a 2005 meta essay by zebra363 that lists reasons they don't find alternate universes compelling. Specifically, in this case, zebra363 seemed to be talking about AUs that aren't canon divergences, as in the comments they wrote, "Yes, I'm using the due South meaning of AU here. I don't mind stories which depart from the canon mid-series or, in the right hands, change some details"zebra363, here, February 16th, 2005.

Another user pointed out that it is possible to delete reviews from logged-in users; follow-up conversation clarified that the information just isn't as advertised or user-friendly.
