Two hours ago, I fell asleep on the sofa just long enough to convince myself I should go to bed.
Why the hell can't I sleep now?
Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

Why the H-E-double hockey sticks can't I sleep? I'm still going on 2.5 hours of sleep from last night!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Um ... ow.

Slashed feet have been cleaned with alcohol, dabbed with ointment and bandaged.
Going to bed, take two.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I suppose it's natural to slash feet, they arrive ready-paired.

This is just too good to be true, yet it's Snopes-tested. Dwight D. Eisenhower lays the smack down on Bush and Cheney.

Heh, that's pretty funny.
So, I was thinking about slash fanfic. What does it say that when people started writing their own porn, it took a different route than what had been produced for them? I mean, I know there's a history of erotic books for women in which the men are rather feminine, but AFAIK there aren't a lot of romance novels featuring hot guy-on-guy action. And I don't think there are any porn movies aimed at a female audience that feature such. (I could be wrong, I've never checked).
Possibilities: Slash is still a niche market, and would be unprofitable, and it just SEEMS like most fanfic is slash. Which I suppose says something about my fanfic reading habits. Alternatively, everyone from romance writers to comic book writers to porn directors has been missing out on market share.
(Oddly, what made me think about this was reading 3 Brother Cadfael novels yesterday...all the men in those come across as women).
Next, Raq will ponder Bush/Cheney fanfic.
(edit: that kind of came across like I was lumping romance novels in with porn movies, which I'm not beyond both media being fantasy-stimulators)

Boy on boy action (explicit or strongly implied) is a staple in Japanese manga and anime, especially in titles that are marketed to women.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, until man-on-man action becomes less virulently unpalatable to the general public (and by general public I mean mostly straight men), I think it's going to stay niche.
