What is the main focus of your site? The Whorer is a bi-weekly podcast focusing on controversial aspects of gender and sexuality in the horror genre. Co-hosts Feminist Furry and Meredith Widnoon offer critical analyses (mostly from a feminist perspective) of horror films and TV shows – the awesome, the terrible, and everything in between. Our approach is neither entirely academic nor fangirl-ish – we do our best to lurk in the margins.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog? Considered by many to be lowbrow, we feel the horror genre is too easily dismissed and explore the latent political and social issues that often permeate horror narratives. Our goal is to create dialogue between feminist and horror fan communities.
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students? As our main goal is to create dialogue about sex and gender issues in horror films, we encourage an interactive community who think critically about the issues we examine, bring new thoughts to the discussion, challenge us, and challenge each other.
How long has this site been active for, and how frequently do you post updates to your site? (Note: sites must be active for at least three months for entry to the LAMB.) Our site has been active since February 2012. We currently post podcast episodes every other week, but also post essays, announcements, and information about other projects we enjoy. All content combined, we average between 3 and 5 posts a month.
