I am now officially in a makeup-fic place. Where's shrift when we need her?
Um, I believe I was off being sick, doing laundry, paying bills, and writing in non-Bat fandoms. Why, did you have a character in mind?
Don't I get a cookie?

Victor, I'm pretty certain it's been officially out of continuity since Zero Hour.

I think they're imagining a conflation of your glam rock and Batman interests...

Well. Let it not be said that I haven't already conflated the two in fan fiction for a cliché porn challenge. Sort of.
Going away now.

But, well, my Dick sucks.
And by that, I mean I have a hard time getting a handle on Dick.
And by that, I mean I am twelve.

Obviously, Shrift, you need to start channelling your inner Roy.

That works for me. Shrift, channel Roy, handle Dick. Bring some eyeliner, and throw "Panic in Detroit" into the CD player. Everybody's happy.

I don't know. I still have the reactionary "aaaaah! run away!" feelings from last time I did that.
Plus, still laughing about the camouflage chaps.
Everybody's happy.
Dude, you do realize this is comics fandom, right?

Most of y'all have probably already read it, but I did find Te's thoughts on slash to be really helpful in articulating a lot of my inchoate thoughts (and questions) I'd had on the subject.
Specifically, her working through the notion of friendship/intimacy at the core of her slash interest, the historical paucity of male/female friendships which drove (and drives) a lot of slash; and spun off other thoughts about the problem with gender in narrative. Just that there's so much cultural and historical pressure leaning on het pairings that it all tends to force it down into the same three or four stories, and that squashes a lot of ambiguity/subtlety.
I've encountered most of these notions before, but just the way she worked through it on a personal level let me get inside those ideas much more deeply.
