'Out Of Gas'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
And why am I so cheesed off about it in a story where there are worse things to complain about, like the total straightwashing of Irene Adler.
The straightwashing of Irene is such a enormous and glaring thing that your pedantic brain latched onto something smaller so you wouldn't get fic rage fatigue?
Not fanfic, but I got shamed on tumblr for pinning their pictures on pinterest without crediting. And these are just pictures she is posting from museum websites, not original work. But somehow I was stealing.
Hilariously (to me, at least), someone recently posted a photo of my hands/manicure from the GCS tutorial for the blood spatter manicure. About three notes in on the photo, the GCS fans started calling out the original poster for not not giving me credit or linking to Gothic Charm School.
Also, I don't even understand how you would credit on pinterest. The pin is a link back to the original.
I'm pretty sure I must be doing Tumblr wrong. I just hit reblog and add a comment and some tags. I never erase previous remarks, though.
I've started doing a deliberate search when I encounter a picture I want to use on provocateuse--I search by image to see if it seems to be a tumblr-produced effort, and then I look for the original instead. I just...no. Don't wanna go there.
Plus the general colour palette that seems to be trendy of adult skin tones is kinda...candyish. What *is* the deal?

No, I'm just more likely to be irritated by the small details, while boggling at the big things. I mean, seriously. It's almost impressively straightwashed. Part of the reason I keep reading is to see if the author ever acknowledges that she's writing a canon queer character as having an exceptionally het backstory. I'm... 26? chapters in, and not yet.
Was Irene not straight in A Scandal in Bohemia? I've never read it, but I read all of Carol Nelson Douglas's Adler series except the last one, and she was very het there.
She's gay in the TV show.
But yes, het in the story.
