We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, those are cute!
And how silly is it that I just now realized of course Hawkeye and Trapper would be slashed to kingdom come?
LOL -- every time I think I've lost my innocence I'm proved wrong.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What Consuela said!
For its day, M*A*S*H was very ground-breaking.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Those slash-coloured glasses, eh? Man, but they're powerful. It's only recently, in happening across reruns of Magnum P.I. that I realise that Magnum/Higgins is practically canon. I mean, really - absofuckinglutely camp as a Judy Garland factory, with the whole TomOfFinland!Detective living with his uptight and thoroughly queenalicious mate. It's all rather touching, actually. And I nearly bit through my tongue to keep from cackling when I caught five minutes of Home Front last night, with Lawrence and Dairmuid (is it Dairmuid? Pretty Irish gardener chap) being irresistably slashable. I was chastising myself for commiting automatic RPS slash upon their relationship, when Lawrence turned to his companion and said "Oooh, talk Latin some more. I do love it when you talk Latin" in what was very clearly an intentional piece of camera-friendly (but, I presume, not real) flirtation. Conscious slash-enabling, type of thing. And actually, that does happen quite a lot. I'm not sure whether it's a Zeitgeist thing or if it's been ever thus?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(pssst, FayJay, I did read "Web". And even though I'm strictly a no-Tolkein woman, the story was gorgeous. Next up, once I can find the damned things since dymphna remains unattainable: all 27K words of Faith by Nights.)
I'm doing an incubus story for the Anthology.

If you liked Web, it's worth checking out Kate B's Beauty, which is a sort of companion-piece. Same site.

Oh, excellent.

Heh. More like, self-serving; the third book in the Ringan Laine series (of which "Weaver" is the first) is called "Matty groves" and the ghost is an incubus. This is really getting me into the headspace for writing about a supernatural sexual predator.
And the story ("Wish You Were Here", a kind of practical pun title, since one of my favourite songs last year was the song of that title by a band called, yes indeed, Incubus) is set in Paris. And setting things in Paris always makes me happy.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I just used the word "fic" in a piece of feedback.
It took me several minutes. I mean, it's what's said. But God, I dislike that word. I don't want to give in to it!

Right. This is so true, yet so new to me, Tom Selleck sexuality rumours notwithstanding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get no slashy vibe off of Magnum/Higgins. Now, I could see a spinning of Rick/TC, or Higgins/old army bud, but Magnum didn't spark anything for me.
