choc_fic. It's a fest of writing about characters of color, multifandom, and there has been a lot of great fic. There's a bunch of stuff in fandoms I don't follow at all (mostly comics) and plenty of media stuff, even some L&O slash. I'm working on something for it, myself, in my OTP of course. Check it out!
On meta harshing your squee: No one said you had to click on every link onmetafandom. You get to take mental breaks to stop worrying and just enjoy. Also, please to remember that the reason that many people post about these issues is that the issue itself harshed their squee. So bitching back that by speaking out they're harshing yours is just obnoxious, and doubly silencing.
On the Red Sox: Wait, so after sweeping the series with us (woe!) the Yankees went on to split 1-2 with Tampa Bay? Tampa Bay? Also: Let's go Mets!
On fanfic writing: I just worked out how to write something that I've been thinking about for a while. Isn't it exciting when that little switch flips and it all becomes clear? I find that happens in my academic work, too. And then you get all fired up to get moving on it.
Speaking of which, I've had a fairly productive day for once, which rocks.
