My friend
mergle writes fanfic in various video game and anime fandoms and she's been having Thinky Thoughts about the political ramifications of writing slash as a straight woman. She's interested in hearing people's thoughts on the subject
at her LJ here.
Her corner of fandom is generally less engaged in meta and political discussions, and she's eager to get the perspective of people with an interest in gender politics.
Head on over! She makes great fudge. And she has a cat.
