'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Mind you, especially in the first two seasons, there were female love interests galore for Fraser, including Sgt. Frobisher's daughter so the poor woman isn't completely deluded in her belief there could be some het fanfic out there, somewhere.

Still not the way to bet, though.

Well certainly, while watching the show itself I always loved Fraser's almost-romance with Inspector Thatcher, and there are some good stories about that out there. But the fandom's 99 44/100 % pure slash!

I'm now imagining her spending long hours opening story after story in an attempt to find the het stuff, and screaming like Homer Simpson each time she runs across Fraser jumping one of the Rays.

Thrive to spite them

Being in DS fandom and despising slash is only slightly more reasonable than being in DS fandom and hating Fraser.

Or worse, Matt, Fraser jumping both Rays. Or the Rays cutting Fraser out of the equation altogether. :-)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Hmm, this sounds like a nice tale of buddies working together to foil a vicious crime ring who are....AAAAAAAARGH!!!! SLASH!

...well, let's try this story about mistaken identity...AAAAARGH!!!! SLASH AGAIN!

...Hmm, Ray takes Fraser dancing, well that sounds innocuous enough, I dare say that AAAAAAAAARGH!!! MORE SLASH!!!

Damn you! Damn you all to heck!

Looks like there's a shake-up for McShep fans in the works...

Until I got to the paypal donation link I was thinking, "public outcry over this is going to set a record for how fast the admins get driven into 'GOODBYE CRUEL INTERNETS!' mode."

I was so far behind the curve I believed it until I hit the comments. Heh.

It's not as if we haven't seen appeals for financial support in connection with fanfic before, although in the specific case I recall it was at least the person's own fanfic that was being offered for a fee.

There's someone in SG-1 who sells PDFs of her zines for $8 a pop. I suspect she hasn't figured out that once anyone has a copy of it, they can pass it along to anyone else indefinitely.
