Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls
launched as
Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls
From YKTTW
Working Title: Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls:
From YKTTW
Erica MZDM
: Not an objection to the trope, but it's worth noting that the gender bias in fanfic writing has more effects than /just/ the obsession with romance. For starters, it's the reason Mary Sues are so much more prolific than Marty Stus in fanfic.
: I really like all the little improvements that people have made to my first written article! Go team!
: Took out "canonically straight" from the Gundam Wing entry - from what I remember of the show, that's not really true, and "undeclared" is more accurate. People often simply assume "undeclared" characters are straight. (Incidentally, even some non-yaoi fans think Quatre might be gay).
Man Called True
: Am I the only one who feels, at this point, that this entry is a swift, snark-fueled kick in the balls to, I don't know,
the entire fanfiction community
? (Including this straight male fanfiction writer. My screenname here is my FF.net name, shamelessplug.)
Rogue 7
: It would be if it weren't, in my experience, sadly true.
Falcon Pain
: Even those of us who actively try to avoid it are tempted. I once lamented on a message board that, shortly after having some minor success writing game-related fanfiction, I had found myself writing a sex scene between a thirty-foot lizard and a transsexual. (
scene was shortened quickly. The fic isn't even in the Romance category.)
: I'm gonna disagree with the entire premise of this page. It's very hard to say that most
Fan Fic
writers are
, simply because the group is very heterogenous, and one usually only see's one's own "circle" of fandom. I certainly remember back when I was into the scene that it seemed like more of the ones I was reading were male, and I
fanficcers were. And certainly, none of what I was reading featured these characteristics.
: This entire entry is a thinly-veiled sneer at fanfiction writers, especially slashers. Compared to the light-hearted humor of most tropes, it's downright disrespectful.
: It would be, if, you know, this weren't a complaint of many fellow fanfiction writers. And I hate the name, too.
: Well, I'm sorry to have rocked the boat. I thought it
fairly light-hearted (speaking as a straight male fanfiction writer). If there's anything I (or, uh, anyone else, since it's a wiki...) can do to make it more objective and less 'sneery', I'd be glad to oblige.
I would have thought the title was fairly undeniable, though. As well as apparently preferred by the majority of tropers on the
: Heh. As you've found out, not all tropers are on
But see, it's very deniable. Note my objections above.
: I'm not going to contest this article's thesis one way or another, but that's partly because I can't figure
the thesis is. No offense
, but like a lot of new tropers, you got a little over-ambitious here and lost track of your thesis — burying the lead in the process. Simply put, what is the
of this entry? Yes, there are a lot of female fanficers out there, but what does that mean? Does it mean they are more interested in romance than male fanficcers would be? Does it mean they are more willing to write relationships between men than straight male writers would be? Both? Something else? Whatever you decide this trope means, that needs to be clearly stated near the beginning of the entry (don't put it off for more than a paragraph). Once you've done that, you can expand on that thesis and perhaps provide a bit of context and have solid article. Oh, and stay on topic. A lot of this article right now is just general stuff about
Fan Fic
that really should be saved for another page.
Harpie Siren
: The thesis is... "No matter what the original story was about, the most fanfics will be 'romance'/ship fics." I think it makes it pretty obvious.
Mark Z
: And romance and relationships are exclusively the interest of "girls". Got it. I'm trying to think of a way for this premise to get more sexist.
Harpie Siren
: No, of course not... I'm a girl who writes fanfics, and
of the stuff I write has anything to do with shipping. And how is this sexist while the
Most Writers Are Male
Most Gamers Are Male
tropes arn't?
Double Standard
: The potential sexism comes in with the statement that "most fanfics are written by girls" means the same thing as "most fanfics are about sex/romance." As written, the page seems to suggest that A) only girls are interested in romance, and B) that's all they're interested in. These are both sexist stereotypes that are extremely old and not terribly accurate. I don't think either message was intentional on the author's part, but they're there. A clearer thesis, like, "Compared to male writers, female authors tend to focus more on interpersonal relationships and are frequently more willing to explore romantic relationships between men" might remove some of the
Unfortunate Implications
as well as give the piece some desperately needed structure.
: Main difference between this and
Most Writers Are Male
Most Gamers Are Male
is that, in those two cases, the stuff listed under them tend to be things that you expect to draw males.
This trope, however, includes
romance related fanfics. Including those that fall under
Girls Love
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Mahou Sensei Negima!
) and
Tenchi Muyo!
style Harems (
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Can you honestly say, with a straight face, that the vast majority of the
Girls Love
and Harem fanfics are written by females?
And no,
do not count.
: I am pretty ticked off at how this trope implies that all girls are interested in is romance and homoerotica (for that matter, what the hell is wrong with either of those?). The disrespectful and demeaning tone ("How DARE those fangirls fantasize about fictional characters! What gives them that right! Out of MY fandom, yaoi fangirls!) doesn't help either. Fanficcers/fanartists are often the most devoted and creative fans, slashers included, and are a driving force in fandom. This trope isn't funny or lighthearted to me.
Big T
: I'm not sure I understand the relevance of whether this trope is sexist. It seems to posit two things: that most fanfics are of the relationship type, that most of those who write this type are female, and that this combination makes the trope title true. If these statements are untrue, we obviously need to rename/rewrite this trope. If they're all true, then all we really need to do is make it obvious. And if only one part is true, we should probably rename this trope:
Most Romantic Fanfic Writers Are Female
Most Fanfics Are Sexual
, anybody?
Guy Smiley
: This did stray from the
, which was meant, if I recall, to be about how most fanfics, regardless of genre, are of the shipper variety. Who exactly added in the harem stuff is beyond me. Still, after taking out that and the
Girls Love
, all that's left is overgeneralization - which is hardly worse than the tropes about male fandom and writers.
: I liked
Slashing Blindly
from the
Harpie Siren
: Hmmm... That
work, but, it's not
: "Can you honestly say, with a straight face, that the vast majority of the
Girls Love
and Harem fanfics are written by females?" I don't know about yuri fic, but the majority of femmeslash I've seen is written by lesbians or female bisexuals. Pretty sure it's not girls writing the Harem stuff, though. As for what to call this trope, the name is both sexist (and yes, more than
Most Writers Are Male
, because that's describing a
culture) and fairly accurate, so I really don't know how to handle it.
Big T
: Like I said, it isn't sexist if it's true. You can't have both. Either we're doing something to unfairly represent one of the sexes, or we're not. The only problem is that some people might
it as sexist.
: Hi, I'm a
Yaoi Fangirl
- female, straight, writes
Ho Yay
for manly plotty things. I actually run a large slash fanfic comm for my fandom. I was the one who initially proposed this trope before
The Great Crash
I don't find it offensive at all. Most of the writing snark comms are well aware of this phenomenon, and most girls are outright proud of what they do. If it's sexist, it's tongue-in-cheek.
Xi Whoeverski: I just thought I'd point out that it has been acknowledged by proffessional literary personages that a) most fanfic is written by girls and b) the interest of young women focuses on interpersonal relationships. Of course, this isn't saying all females are like that, just acknowledging a social trend. Check out Brenda Laurel's studies if you believe me not. I don't mean to be condescending, I just wanted to point out that basic idea of this trope is more than some dude's vague conjecture.
Then again, few people want to see Disney characters in slash fiction.
Harpie Siren
: Who was talking about slash?
Original Flavor
Gen Fic
it the way to go! :D
: Changed "This, of course, is a trick. There is no
Kingdom Hearts
fanfic that isn't Sora/Riku or Orgy XIII slash." to "Not too easy, is it?" because I went to the Kingdom Hearts section on fanfiction.net and found a
Gen Fic
without scrolling down. That's taking hyperbole a bit too far.
This is largely because - and let's not mince words here - a great deal of fanfiction is written by young single women who can't get boyfriends
What? All fanfiction writers I know have boyfriends. You can be in a healthy relationship and still enjoy fictional romance/porn.
Excuse me, but not all women are single because they "can't get boyfriends." Some women, just like some men, prefer to be single.
: Reworded the
example to make it less confrontational.
: Carrot and Marron aren't twins.
L Guardinal
: Judging by the examples on the page, shouldn't the title be changed to Slash And Shipping Sucks (or something less confrontational)? I'm not being sarcastic, 100% and quite honestly
Just Trying to Help
, but there really isn't much about fanficcers being girls in here that isn't obscured in
Real Fans
complaining about, well, slash and shipping.
EDIT: Actually, reading the trope description, which seems to be describing Fanfic Sucks, maybe this whole page should be nuked and started again, with a whole lot less
Complaining About Shows You Don't Like
Black Charizard: Strangely enough, most examples have
Justifying Edits
saying that "hey, given the amount of
Ho Yay
they have, it's obvious most fanfics would be centered about the relationship", despite the negativeness of the trope description. It seems that it's becoming similar to the
Ho Yay
article, with negativeness on the description not reflected on the examples.
Maybe we should just tone out the body text. Point out the thesis ("regardless of the genre of the original work, most fanfics about the series will be about
, to the point it's difficult to find anything else") and cut off the complaining.
L Guardinal
: I agree with that, and perhaps it should be a
No Examples, Please
trope, as they sort of lend themselves to complaints? Oh, and that part at the beginning, saying how great published works are, and how awful fanfic is, coupled with
Most Writers Are Male
Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls
... Well, it's not hard to see some sexism in there. Whoever changes the trope page, leave that out! (I'd do it myself, but I'm afraid I'd be a more than a little biased in the other direction.)
Prfnoff: I've tried to cut down a bit on the Complaining About Fanfics And Shipping You Don't Like:

The impressive thing is not the amount of shipping fics, but the sheer

True enough, although it seems the single most popular pairing remains the one hooking up
The Hero

and the guy who spent most of the series trying to drag

in chains before the
Evil Overlord
. Why, fangirls?
Rule of Drama
, that's why.
Despite the relative youth of the
Mass Effect
fandom, the sheer number of Garrus/Female Shepard fics out there is rather disturbing, especially considering a female Shepard is pretty much a ready-made self-insert, and Garrus is an avian alien with a naturally-occuring tribal warrior facemask and who is only vaguely humanoid.
This is doubly notable given the Canon presence of two possible love interests in the game.
Canon? Bah!
Garrus/Shepard is clearly superior!
, Brooklyn, the most exotic looking and one of the most popular characters in the series, is the series' romantic

fanfics where the writers eagerly supply his true love at last.
. If it isn't Mohinder/Sylar, it's Mohinder/Matt, Peter/Sylar or
(for the uninitiated, Peter and Nathan are brothers). Of course, there's Claire/Sylar floating around as well, usually ignoring that Sylar actively tries to kill Claire for her powers. Also Peter/Claire and Nathan/Claire, even after it was revealed that Nathan is her father and Peter her uncle. And if an OC's going to fall for someone, it's Peter.
Always Peter.

Danny/Fenton Thermos?
This troper blames a single author (not sure on the gender) on the fact that 80% of the
section on Fanfiction.net... most of which seems to be between Mamoru and Volfogg, an eight-year-old boy and a

, respectively.
If it's not between

fanfic has a romance between Po and Tigress as a popular plot. Well, she now respects him as a fellow martial arts master in the film, so that's a start.
Which is sad, because this troper was especially proud of the movie for foiling her expectations: she fully expected Tigress to fall for him by the end of the movie (c'mon, it's a standard plot), and was so utterly pleased when she

Fast Eddie

Most Fanfics Are Romances
will solve some issues.
: I agree with
Fast Eddie
. Of course, the body text would require some editing, but that's not a problem. Damn it, why
anyone changed this page yet?
: Honestly, I think the title should stay as it is, why? because it's the truth, most fanfic writers ARE girls. Someone said that contrasting this with
Most Writers Are Male
makes this trope sexist. Excuse me? have you read that trope?
Most Writers Are Male
is used to explain trends like
Breast Plate
Distressed Damsel
and stuff like that, not as way to say that only males can do professional writings. I see the same situation with this trope, to explain the prevalence of romances, yaoi, and shipping in fanfictions, the only thing that could be changed about this page is that it makes it look like the prevalence of that sort of stories is a bad thing, but hey it's note like
TV Tropes
has a wikipedia-like neutrality on most articles.
: I think this page is perfect just the way it is, title and content. The title sums up the generalization being made just fine; the critical tone doesn't cross the line into bitter; and the snarky examples sound more like self-deprecation than actual dislike.
: Funny, because I read this page and all I'm seeing in whiny little fanboys whining about how there's girl-cooties and slash in their fandom. Nobody seems to be interested in any other aspect of most fanfic being written by women, but maybe that has to do with
Troper Demographics
Trouser Wearing Barbarian
: Should
Most Writers Are Male
discuss other aspects of most writers being male besides "guys are sexist and
obsessed with boobs
Looney Toons
: While doing other edits, I snipped the following couple of lines
, though male fanfictionists in general are inexplicably rare. Although there are more in males in fandoms of sci-fi and military settings, just look for the ones
the techno-military aspects.
because, quite frankly, I've never actually
this supposed imbalance; the fanfiction communities I hang out in — general anime, Buffy, a few others — tend to be evenly distributed or slightly male-heavy. Besides, the comment is simply not relevant to the topic at hand.
sickishfish: This isnt an article about the gender of fanfiction writers so much as its an article about the quality of fanfiction. That implies that the quality of fanfiction is a function of the gender of the authors. It ignores
Sturgeon's Law
completely in the analysis, but thats beside the point.
Sturgeon's Law
shouldnt even need to be brought up. The implication that gender and the quality of writing are the same discussion is sexist.
The research sounds as if it was conducted in a single trip to the Pit of Voles that lasted about as long as the average person can comfortably hold their nose. Theres no effort made to understand the people or situation about which its speaking. The article consists of statements of the authors views of the proper treatment of fanfiction followed by a complaint about how s/he thinks female authors violate them. Most of this should be removed. The style of the site allows for editorializing for the sake of humor, but not to the point that the article says more about the author than the trope.
Black Charizard: Yes, this page needs a rewrite to tone down the bile. You can see more people saying the same above your comment. The reason why it's stayed like this is because nobody has stepped up to actually
it. Probably because, well, we all have an opinion on this phenomenon, and our biases would probably end up reflected in the article.
Trouser Wearing Barbarian
done more "research" on this topic than just "a single trip to the Pit of Voles that lasted about as long as the average person can comfortably hold their nose", and this trope is pretty spot-on. While the quality itself can be attributed to Sturgeon's Law rather than the gender of the writers involved (and the page should be edited to make this more clear), every fandom I've ever read fanfic for has been dominated by m/m slash fics and female
Mary Sue
characters sexing up the resident
Mr. Fanservice
And I don't consider slashfic to be inherently bad, either. However, the obsession with pairing up everything with a penis and pulse combined with the
Het Is Ew
Die for Our Ship
bashing of female characters
, and frequent usage of the "you're just a homophobe!" strawman against any criticism among slash
is bound to leave other fans just a little bit peeved.
sickishfish: I apologize for coming on so strong. Ironic, given the nature of my complaint. I am a fangirl, if that helps to explain my reaction.
I'm not trying to argue that things like relentless slashing of everyone,
Het Is Ew
, etc. do not exist. I agree that they are there and that they often alienate fans who don't buy into them. Some of the tropes are clearly negative, but I would quibble about others. (No one should be called a homophobe for disliking slash, but if a many fangirls prefer to write nothing but, featuring every conceivable pairing, that's their right.) Positive or negative, these tropes are not there by accident. At the risk of sounding like an anthropology textbook, they reflect the values of the subculture. I wish the article would look beyond its kneejerk reaction to take an interest in why these particular tropes are so common. Why do so many fangirls accept them? I imagine that a lot of it is a direct result of
Most Writers Are Male
, which could have interesting implications if it's true. I think that addressing the topic from a "fangirlish" angle as well as the outside observers' point of view would go a long way towards connecting the article into something that belongs under the title.
I do realize that criticism alone will not fix anything and someone is going to have to buckle down and actually write these things. I frankly think a rewrite of such a complex topic is above my skill level (not to mention that I write like a snail). My original comment was the result of an effort to express concretely what it was that bothered me.
I decided to share.
Trouser Wearing Barbarian
: After giving it some thought, I think this trope largely exists because women tend to be more verbal, while men tend to be more visual - guys usually go for pornographic movies and skin rags while women are more into written sex. Plus, there isn't nearly as much porn out there for women as there is for men, so it's not surprising that many women write their own amateur porn/erotica/whatever, and fanfiction is a very popular form of amateur fiction...
So Yeah
. Most of it being awful has more to do with Sturgeon's Law than women being bad writers.
reading this discussion page straight gave me a headache from all the
Face Palm
. Even though the troper who
this trope said at the beginning of this page "I don't find it offensive at all. Most of the writing snark comms are well aware of this phenomenon, and most girls are outright proud of what they do. If it's sexist, it's tongue-in-cheek", people go
on and on and on
about how "mean and sexist" this trope is. Aren't tropers supposed to be good at taking jokes? Before anyone accuses me of being one of those "vile, sick men who live only to oppress the sweet, innocent women who are just standing up for equal rights", I'm just going to say right now that I'm female, and a fanfiction fan. I know some people are still going to interpret my message as sexist, but I'll try to get my point across:
Most actual Fanfic writers themselves think this trope is perfectly fine. Stop thinking this trope was made by slash-hating men.
: Eh, tell me about it. When I wrote the trope, I was under the impression that everyone agreed that the whole shipping thing was lighthearted escapism (
Little did I know...
), and so it's hardly surpising that my usual cheerful irreverence didn't quite wash with some people. Still, the majority have spoken, so lesson duly learnt.
As to the whole sexism thing: I would argue that respecting women as writers and as people does not preclude me, for example, from pointing out eccentricities that I have observed in the writings of my female friends- several of whom are convinced that
Demyx and that other fella
are just perfect for each other- and how this may relate to larger trends in this mysterious beast called 'fandom'. If I couldn't cover that without ruffling some feathers, I guess that's my bad.
Overall, I'd say the problem was that I see fanwork generally as kind of silly anyway- not quite a
Guilty Pleasure
, but something like that- and everyone else seems to invest a little more in it. I'm still working on understanding that one. I mean, I like building sandcastles (the finest sandcastles in all northeastern Ireland, I'll have you know), but I wouldn't get pissed if someone thought that was funny. Anyhow, the page is changed now and I don't feel strongly enough about it to take this any further. Patsy, signing off.
: Yes, I agree with you exactly. Sorry for exploding; I just needed to get that off my chest.
: Removed some entries that consisted of nothing more than "This fandom has yaoi in it (eww)." That - minus the "eww" - goes under
Yaoi Fangirl
What's with the assumption that only girls ignore a series' main premise to write about the parts they like? Really, as if boys don't just go on and on about fight match ups regardless of probability. (Is the Death Star
ever likely to encounter the Enterprise? I don't think so.)
Bionicman: I've noticed how often the picture at the top of the page gets changed (I can remember at least three), yet not a single one of them illustrate the trope effectively. They're all
Just a Face and a Caption
. This applies particularly well to the current picture; I watch a lot of anime and know what Genshiken is about, yet that pic means nothing to me. I can't even imagine how useless it is to someone who doesn't watch anime. I suggest solving two problems (constant changes, non-indicative picture) by getting rid of the pictures entirely. I'll wait to see if anyone can come up with another solution.

Which marks does the writer use when, and for what effects? Dashes to create a hasty breathlessness? Semi-colons for balance or contrast? 14. Are important terms repeated throughout the text? Why? 15. Are there any particularly vivid images that stand out? What effect do these images have on the writer's purpose? 16. Aredevices of comparison used to convey or enhance meaning? Which tropes--similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole, etc. does the writer use? When does he/she use them? Why? 17. Doesthe writer use devices of humor? Puns? Irony? Sarcasm? Understatement? Parody? Is the effect comic relief? Pleasure? Hysteria? Ridicule? identifying and investigating the way a text communicates what strategies it employs to connect to an audience, frame an issue, establish its stakes, make a particular claim, support it, and persuade the audience to accept the claim. It is not an analysis of what a text says but of what strategies it uses to communicate effectively. You must, of course, begin your analysis with what the text says—its argument But the work of the essay is to show how the text persuades us of its position. You might think of the piece you choose to analyze as a particular kind of engine whose machinations produce particular results. An analysis of the engine examines all the parts, how they work in isolation, together, etc. to see how the engine does what it does, or makes what it makes First stage--pouring out our first impressions, our "first take" on a text or subject. draft, notes or outline Describe the general meaning/message of the piece. Do the same for more specific, particular effects. Then begin your examination the piece's strategies by looking at whether/how the work signals in any way its audience, purpose, and context. Stage2--identify the most prominent strategies the work uses to produce the meaning/effect you have described. Use terms and concepts such as—the Aristotelian forms of appeal, metaphor, metonymy, analogy, tone, diction, syntax, etc. Look in particular for any patterns that are developed by the work. Decide what seem to be the most important elements of the work for you—that is, identify what is for you to be the most striking, meaningful effect(s) of the work and methods used to achieve it/them. This will help you hone in on a thesis. StageThree--craft a few sentences that explain why, in your view, the piece works the way it does. Try to craft these sentences so that they set up, first, a description of what the meaning/effect of the piece is, and, second, what strategies, elements, etc. help produce that meaning/effect. Then isolate the textual evidence you will use— probably only a portion of what you have noted. Stage Four--write the draft. Make sure you give your thesis or an indication of your thesis early. You can give the whole argument right up front, pose a question you'll explore, whose answer will be your thesis, or give us a general version of your thesis that you'll refine by the end of your essay.) How does the author use [rhetorical strategies] to convey his/her message?

K-Salaam & Beatnick - Never Can Say Goodbye (Remix) ft. Michael Jackson
Artist: K-Salaam & Beatnick
Featuring: Michael Jackson
Producer: K-Salaam & Beatnick
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 23 votes )
After impressing DJBooth.net readers with their remixes of classic Common tracks (which gave rise to an entire Common remix album), up-and-coming producers K-Salaam & Beatnick have turned their attentions on the "King of Pop" himself. The duo's latest remix finds them revamping Michael Jackson's 1971 hit Never Can Say Goodbye, a soulful cut from the singer's early days with the Jackson 5. Though this update forgoes the cooed backing vocals that lent emotional heft to the original record, the remix makes up the difference in musical complexity; surrounding Jackson's voice with electronic ambience as well as vivid, '70s-style instrumentation, K-Salaam and Beatnick's arrangement is both modern and undeniably retro. Is this the beginning of a new remix series from the Minneapolis producers? We'll have to wait and see…

Keeping Horse Boots Clean Just wondering what way you keep your horse boots clean! Also what has been the most effective way to keep them from staining. |
I try to brush them off after I ride in them to keep the dirt off, also try to hide them off a few times a year. If they are super dirty I will spray them with Resolve stain remover and it takes the stains right out!! I recently washed all my SMBs and Bells....my green boots were super dirty and they look brand new. Same with my white Bellboots that were dark brown and green....sprayed on some Resolve then let it sit for a few minutes then scrub them good they are now WHITE again! I was amazed. I also just make sure I rinse them really good toget all the Resolve off. Posted via Mobile Device |
Really?! I've never thought of actually using a stain remover! I will have to try that! Thanks! I always rinse mine off after runs but they always stain! |
You can also get boot covers, they come in some cool designs. I haven't used them myself so not sure how well they work but could be worth a try Posted via Mobile Device |
If the boots aren't that dirty, I'll let them dry, and then brush them off. After they've been worn a few times (or get muddy) then it's time to wash them. I hand wash the boots with a mild detergent. It takes a little elbow grease to get them clean, but it does the trick. Rinse them off well to get all the soap out, and then air dry. Good as new! |
Pretty much what the others have said but occasionally I like to clean mine with a pressure washer, if you don't have one handy you can take them to one of those big car wash places and use the sprayer there.. Works wonders. I actually wash all of my nylon things that way. |
Horse boots? Clean? Who knew?? |
I like OxyClean;) Posted via Mobile Device |

Abstract: Three bulk samples of two different cultivars of kiwifruit, green (Actinidia deliciosa L.) and golden (Actinidia chinensis L.) were bought ripe, ready to eat from a local market. The aim of the study was to determine the oxalate composition of each of the three fractions of kiwifruit, namely skin, pulp and seeds. The pulp consisted of 90.4% of the edible portion of the two cultivars while the skin and seeds made up a mean of 8.0% and 1.6% respectively. Total oxalate was extracted with 2.0 M HCL at 21 °C for 15 min and soluble oxalates extracted at 21 °C in water for 15 min from each fraction. The total and soluble oxalate compositions of each fraction were determined using ion exchange HPLC chromatography. The pulp of golden kiwifruit contained lower amounts of total oxalates (15.7 vs. 19.3 mg/100 g FW) and higher amounts of soluble oxalates (8.5 vs. 7.6 mg/100 g FW) when compared to the green cultivar. The skin of the green cultivar contained lower levels of insoluble oxalates (36.9 vs. 43.6 mg/100 g FW), while the seeds of the green cultivar contained higher levels of insoluble oxalates 106.7 vs. 84.7 mg/100 g FW.

8 Food Trends to Expect in 2013
by Toby Amidor in Food News, December 29, 2012
Each year new diets, super foods and other food trends are splashed over the media and discussed by the water coolers. Sometimes these trends continue for a few years, others are out the door as quickly as they came in. Look for these hot trends in 2013.
#1: Cruciferous Greens
Members of the cabbage family such as kale, chard, turnip greens and mustard greens will start making regular appearances at restaurants. How about kale chips with your sandwich or burger?
#2: Cupcake-Dispensing ATMs
This ATM look-a-like dispenses freshly baked cupcakes 24/7. Other companies like Jamba Juice (JamboGo) and Seattle's Best Coffee brands also have vending machines to buy their goodies.
#3: Crackdown on Food Claims
In 2012, many folks were surprised to learn that chocolate hazelnut spread wasn't as healthy as the ads and product label promoted. A producer of Greek yogurt was also sued for using milk protein concentrate — an ingredient that isn't acceptable by the FDA to be used in Greek yogurt — in lieu of straining techniques used to make Greek yogurt. Consumers don't want to be misled by food manufacturers and are raising their voices.
#4: Hottest Fad Diets
Both the Paleo and Wheat Belly Diets are still the trendiest around. Both have diehard followers with testimonials that'll knock your socks off—though registered dietitians agree that both aren't healthy or safe eating plans to follow.
#5: Artisan Cocktails
Bar keeps are no longer just bartenders. They are creators of exotic cocktails using honey or vanilla syrup, fresh herbs from the local farmers market, and infusing spirits (like rum and vodka) with kiwi or mango.
#6: Your Favorite Food Store
In addition to picking up Chobani Greek yogurt in the grocery aisle, you can also stop by their SoHo, New York Greek yogurt bar. Dannon also opened a store on Park Avenue in New York City where they sell small batches of yogurt topped with fruit, yogurt-infused sandwiches and salads serves with yogurt-based dressing. Anheuser Busch-InBev has also opened a chain of Belgium Beer Cafes at airports in New Zealand and Australia serving their own brand of beers. Barilla and Ghirardelli Chocolate are other companies who are doing the same.
#7: Tea, not just for sipping
The use of tea in cooking will shine in the new year. Tea can be used in rubs and braising liquids and as an ingredient in desserts like poached fruit, cakes and shortbreads.
#8: Chips galore
Move over potatoes: rice, black beans, lentils, and garbanzo beans are just some of the other foods used to make the ever-popular chip. You'll be seeing many popping up in the snack aisle in 2013.

Appreciate ability to get a burger and fries that are GF. Very good. Kudos to local chain doing it right, and better than national chains.
My family and I went to 96th St Steakburgers tonight because of their GF menu. When I asked about the GF choices, I was told that only the buns are GF. The meat is not GF. I asked two employees just to make sure I understood correctly. This makes absolutely no sense. Needless to say, my family and I left as we did not want to take the risk.
The gluten free buns are new and not yet on the menu. There is a notice on the door as you come in. They are the same brand as Red Robin and Scotty's.
Gluten free buns for all burgers and ht dogs! Yum! The fries aren't my favorite but he burgers make up for it! Great for a quick gluten free meal!

On a trash-strewn Soho street,… More Diane Lane is a wayward wife and Richard Gere is her suspicious husband in Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful. Connie (Lane) leaves her suburban home on an errand, venturing into Manhattan during a wicked windstorm. On a trash-strewn Soho street, she literally runs into Paul Martel (Olivier Martinez), a handsome young Frenchman carrying a huge stack of books. Connie has a bad scrape on her knee, and is unable to get a cab, so Paul invites her up to his apartment. Paul is quietly flirtatious as he gives Connie some ice and a bandage for her knee. Connie phones home and explains to her son, Charlie (Erik Per Sullivan), that she's running late. Before she leaves, Paul gives her a book of Persian poetry, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. She mentions the encounter in passing to Edward (Gere), her husband, but it's clear that she's obsessing about Paul, and soon she's back in the city, with a pretext for calling him up. Soon, they are lovers, and they grow bolder and bolder in their passion. Edward begins to suspect, and eventually gets a private investigator (Dominic Chianese of The Sopranos) to follow Connie. His worst fears confirmed, Edward decides to confront Paul, a decision that will come to haunt him. While the screenplay for Unfaithful is credited to Alvin Sargent (Ordinary People) and William Broyles Jr. (Cast Away), the inspiration for Lyne's film came from Claude Chabrol's acclaimed 1969 film La Femme Infidele. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Consensus: Diane Lane shines in the role, but the movie adds nothing new to the genre and the resolution is unsatisfying.
A movie about sexuality that really throbs with eroticism.
Full review…A glossy, depthless melodrama.
Full review…Not for kids, but some adults will like it.
Full review…The movie is called Unfaithful, but it's actually extremely faithful -- to the adultery movie rulebook, anyway.
After the plot's big turning point, the movie loses its focus and can't decide whether it wants to be a melodrama or a crime thriller.
Full review…Works precisely because it is so upsetting, unusually so for a studio film, and so empathetic for Connie at the hands of her attractive manipulator. [Blu-ray]
Full review…What's curious about Unfaithful is just how little it pops.
Full review…Diane Lane is magnificent in this movie.
Full review…Unfaithful is not so much about the conventions of a typical bored housewife falls for exotic foreigner with disastrous results story, but in fact plumbs the depths of what really constitutes intimacy, and how complacency, rather than the melodramatic ups
Full review…

Yeah I know multiple threads on this topic, but it seems that Riot gave too much attention to people QQing on the forums about dodgers. I was personally fine with the previous 3min/10min penalties but the 6min/15min is bordering on ridiculous. It's that people dodging the unresponsive, bad team comb. etc. teams that are not going on the forum and starting a "ZOMG I Just Dodged" thread. But it's one of the other 4 that get's on the forums and complains about the dodge. And it seems that flooding the forum with repetitive threads sometimes does wear Riot into giving in. So I'll do just that and continue the flood of "ZOMG Dodge Penalty Sucks Now" Maybe I should take the high ground and not take to the "I Hate Que Dodgers" tactic of flooding but...mehhhh
Stop dodging ?
Seriously, punishing queue dodging this harshly is too much. After 2 dodges, might as well just stop trying now and go play something else. After those 15 mins + new queue, there's no guarantee you won't get another dodge-worthy team.
Wallace Knoop
It seems all Riot does these days is read QQ posts, take them seriously, and use them as a basis for patches.
Or maybe you should man-up and play the ****in game instead of acting like a spoiled brat.
Here is a crazy idea... Fix the ****ty champions so people don't dodge when you pick them. Nerf the really OP champions so people don't dodge when you don't pick them. ...ok what was I thinking.
This is a kick in the nuts for tryharding players. Way to go for a game that wishes to be competitive!
You guys are stupid. Your action affect everyone and que dodge waste people time and fark up the que system. I hate it when i wait 2 minute before the timer reach 0 and had someone que dodge. WTF? you want that **** to happen that often? That's not QQ, that's flat out abuse. Ok here what you morons that que dodge need to do 1. Get some friends and start making a pre made 2. Don't solo Q and expect a team that fit your needs. 3. Don't QQ on what other people pick on the champion selection because after all you solo Q, be a man and swallow it whole. 4. Don't QQ about harsher punishment with the que dodgers penalty until you get que dodge by someone else 5 time in a row and tell me WTF is wrong with you. 5. Stop being an Elitist jackass on the champion selection screen because you suck more than that eve with revive and clarity.
