Ok, so it's been awhile. Let me just get the bad news out of the way. Due to REALLY CRAPPY circumstances I lost all my "A Diamond in the Rough" work. All of it. Yes, it was backed up. Lost that too. The tale is too traumatic to me pass on but suffice it to say that I can't continue... all that work is gone and there was a LOT.
Anyways, that wasn't what this post was supposed to be about. See, I've been reading lots of fanfic lately, including Glee and have come across something that I just don't understand.
F/F fanfic with a female character having a... penis. Sometimes all the time, sometimes just a few days out of the month.
The thing is, why are they posted on femslash journals? I don't have a thing against penis (other than having no interest in them) but for some odd reason the female Glee characters are running around with them. A LOT.
Why Glee? What is it about Rachel, Brittany, Santana and Quinn that makes someone want to strap a male member on... without actually strapping one on? Why?
They want to write a genderbending fic? Go for it! I salute you! But I don't see Lost Girl fic or BtVS fic with Willow or Bo running around with peni (plural? Hmmmm) on the fanfic forums (and I'd rather not but again... personal preference) but there's at least one or two a week from the Glee fan population.
Just a bit of a mental conundrum that's been running around in my head for awhile.
x-men,
