YAY! Let me know cost/what to do/all the stuff.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Sure. I think the DVDs are $15 plus a couple of bucks for shipping. I'll ping you for your mailing address once I have the DVDs.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
You know what's sad? When a fanfic writer who is both prolific and generally very good starts slipping. But then, I am not certain I can tell if the actual skill level is backsliding, or if my interest in the fandom is slipping so now the shine has faded.

It's interesting how a genderswap story will change how I view a character. I'd been avoiding a Clint/Phil story because of the genderswap, but finally gave in because of how many times it had been bookmarked.
Things like Coulson's love of trash TV and Supernanny. Make him a woman, and suddenly it seems pathetic and lonely. But as a man, it strikes me as an interesting quirk. Maybe it's the context. Where as a man, it was mentioned in passing, as a woman, it's described as her evening alone. So maybe it's also the author having a bias. Yet still...
I'm judging me.

I think that's a good example of how fanfic can address social perceptions of gender. It's one of the reasons I love the trope (and fanfic, for that matter), especially when it's used in that way (even if it's inadvertent, which can be hard for me to tell).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know if I'd use the word "address" so much as "reveal (again)". The bottom has been possessed and dominated so many times by the topping partner that it makes me want to a) cry b) only peg from here on in. We all believe this? This is how we all translate sex position code? THIS IS WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN I HAD SEX THOSE TIMES???
And it doesn't need fanfic to reveal it--search tumblr for pegging, and it's 98% femDom scenes, 92% involving humiliation.
Yup! That's what being dicked is about, or finally FINALLY getting to dick someone.
How naive am I still being to think that flipping the status quo would let us help see the baggage for what it is, as opposed to reinforcing it (or taking revenge)?

Anybody else getting a lot of 403 Forbidden errors on FFN?
