SF Bay Guardian had a column about Slash
Well, that was annoying.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

I think it was the anal sex and cries of joy with the Kirk/Spock thing. That's where I stopped reading.

It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't satisfying, and I'm always annoyed at the "by googling a phrase you now know about ALL the fandom" or "I talked to one person, and one group of people, and now I can speak authoritatively about everything wrt fic" methods of going about things. And more things; but I'm also just generally irritable, because my paper isn't going quite as well as I'd like, and my back hurts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I figured people would be annoyed since she doesn't specifically make clear the distinction between slash and fanfic in general. On the other hand, she was obviously a regular reader of slash.

Lizard needs a back rub.
t offers one hand, as the other is actually doing work that I get paid for

I'm also annoyed because I'm writing my goddamned paper about what makes fic so shiny-- that you're assuming authorative power over someone else's work. In coded academic language, of course, and I'm using Elizabeth Alexander, a poet, and the poem I wrote as fic for her poem, but it's the same ideas. And no, no, no article I've ever read addressed what I think are the most important issues raised by fic. I think it's doable, and it ought to be done, but I haven't seen it. That's because people are stupid.
Yeah. I'm really spiny today. Why do you ask?
