I think there should be actress-who-plays-Tonks/DanRad RPF where she like TOPS THE HELL OUT OF HIM. I am blaming this on SPN fandom.
(And you thought I wasn't going to spam y'all today.)
To make this post worthy of pressing send, some links:
++missyjack made a [ Recs List of SPN canon!women femslash].
++ Rilly cute HP post-DH gen fic on the theme of men + babies featuring Harry and baby!Teddy by sundancekid. Has great characterization of Harry, Hermione (and Ron).
In other news, I'm still losing my mind doing work.
Also, for the record, I've pretty much decided that I will just (in the future) never be acknowledging wank that has to do with the personal lives of (or rumours about) actors (except privately, for occasional pointing, mocking and WTF-ing). My take(s) on the subject: I think it's more important for members of the fannish community to be respectful of other fans that it is to be "respectful" of people who are, for all intents and purpose for us, FICTIONAL. Likewise, I think that the feelings of fictional characters can not be hurt and I don't care if other people don't like the same characters as me, but I *do* care if people are mean to me (or others) about who/what they like.
This does not mean that I think that I am entirely above all topics that people call "wank." For one thing, I think a lot of debates that often end up getting filed under "wank" are worth having, especially when they have to do with the way we treat one another. Or representational politics, etc.
Of course, I know that people are asshats to each other about weird crap having to do with the actors (and sometimes there's even -isms involved) but I usually just don't want to touch that shit with a ten foot pole. But basically I'm more likely to defend YOU than I am to defend Jensen Ackles (or whoever). I don't really think he needs my help - I've already watched every damn show he's ever been on. I think we're good. :P
ETA: Earlier today there was some weirdness and I wasn't getting comment emails (and I don't think I'll ever get them) so uh, sorry if I missed something somewhere.
