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!
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

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

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.
!!!!!!
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.

Hawkeye and Trapper would be slashed to kingdom come?
I don't suppose I can interest you in reading some? Hawkeye/BJ? Hawkeye/Radar?

But BJ's a married man! And Radar's a kid! Argh!
I'm not really so much into MASH that I'd read the fic, I don't think. I'm watching a lot of MASH reruns right now as they pop up on my Tivo -- it's a pleasant way to kill 18 minutes at the end of the day (what with the fast-forwarding through the commercials and the massive edits the channel makes). It's fun, although I still have almost no tolerance for Frank Burns, and I like BJ much more than Trapper, and Potter better than Blake. Guess I'm a late-season MASH fan, where things got a little grimmer and less ha-ha funny.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
You can't slash a character who still sleeps with a teddy bear, that's just evil!
remembers she's talking to the one who slashed the teletubbies
Huh, well, shouldn't, maybe then.

What Deena said, although Radar's clearly a legal adult. Also, with MASH I run into the fact that I started watching the show when I was, what, nine? I have too many memories of childhood tied up with it. I don't see it the way I see shows I fic.

What Deena said, although Radar's clearly a legal adult.
Clearly about forty years old. Not that there's anything wrong with that in theory, but for an innocent, teddy-bear dependent kind of guy? Radar always creeped me out a bit.

Nice turn around, Deena. And, as Consuela says, Radar is legally adult. There are worse people to be slashing.
I do understand, though, that there are shows you watch and shows you slash. I think I still have some I only watch...

Now, Radar/Klinger would be against all laws of God and man.
