  * **Dec. 7, 2011:** [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=106120522#t106120522|Meme discusses]] Deepad's [[http://deepad.dreamwidth.org/69612.html|thoughts on writing characters of color]], in which she praises a gift fic she received in the Kaleidoscope fic exchange, saying:

"That's why I love this story so much--because a young desi author is restoring to a long dead woman the voice that it has taken a century of nationalism and anti-imperialism and subaltern studies and anti-communalism and, of course, feminism to find."

And:

"I should say that while I am 99.9% sure I know the friend who wrote this, it is possible that I am wrong, and that perhaps the writer is not even desi. In which case, I would heap even more accolades on the writer."

It turned out that the author, Lionpyh, was white. [[http://lionpyh.dreamwidth.org/3540.html|She responded]] to Deepad's post, saying:

"I would like the story better if it were by a desi author, for the reasons Deepa wrote about: reclamation, instead of a claim by a foreigner. The fact of that different authorship would make it a different story without changing a word. She described it as post-colonial: I suspect it is not, that it can’t be, when one knows that I have written it."
