I got slashed! With Hope! And I love it.
So I'm in two RPS stories right now and IFG.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

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

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I do hope mine wrote me.
Oh, I posted this in Bitches, not here, because I'm an idiot-- but I finished mine.

Thanks for all the fish.
From Te's new story Sympathetic
Spike POV
He never should have quit smoking. In hindsight, it just wasn't something one did *immediately* upon gaining a soul.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
On a random note, is anyone else having trouble getting fanfiction.net to load completely?

Thanks for all the fish.
I haven't been to ff.net for ages.

I Lurve bookslut. Came across this there today. Neal Pollack actively encourages RPF about himself. But thinks that ficwriters are dorky and untalented. Also doesn't understand slash and seems to think it's 'the most popular' form of fic.
Still, an interesting perspective. Check it out. I expect he'll get lots of mail from people, as there's no comment box on his website.

Yes, I know. It makes me uncomfortable, too.
That is entierly your problem. I don't mind the rest of what you say, some of it's quite sensible. I don't want to write you an e-mail, because it would just make me more annoyed. But if slash makes you uncomfortable, that's either a) because you're reading the wrong stuff (and if all you've done is trawl Google, heaven help you), or b) because it's the homosexual element that gets you. Either way- think again. Nothing to be uncomfortable about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But if slash makes you uncomfortable, that's either a) because you're reading the wrong stuff (and if all you've done is trawl Google, heaven help you), or b) because it's the homosexual element that gets you. Either way- think again. Nothing to be uncomfortable about.
Might I suggest the addition of c) or some other reason?
It's a tad absolute to say that every non-homophobic person presented with the finest the slash world has to offer will become a convert and immediately not uncomfortable.
