Dude, I have a serious conclusion.

Sep 11, 2004 15:36

Okay, we all know I am a bit obsessed with various sci-fi and fanstasy books/movies/tv shows. Right, maybe "bit" is the wrong adjective. They've totally taken over my brain. In a sort of "haha, we rule your thoughts" kind of way ( Read more... )

Oh wow, this was such an amusing entry. Y'know, if it was slash fic, then the girlfriend probably DID turn out to have the forces of evil up her skirt, metaphorically. Haha. Women are often evil-ified or unfulfilling in slash. Hee.

I didn't stay around long enough to see if it was slash or not. The lack of aliens sent me scurrying away.

Yeah, one of the things that really gets to me is when women end up vilified in slash. They're not evil, you just don't like them!

Yes! I agree. They're often either terrible banshees who repress our gay heroes purely because they're unfortunate enough to be their girlfriends, or they're insufferable Mary-Sue straight-best-friends-called-Raven-with-issues-and-abusive-boyfriends. Bah.

But, ooh, does this mean the next time you write bodyjar ficlets, there'll be a spaceship involved? And are Kelis and Nas gonna fight evil droids together? Hurrah!

That's why femslash got invented. Well, I mean, if Aragorn and Faramir are gonna have hot and scruffly mansex, then Arwen and Eowyn had best get in on the action too. Really, it does annoye me that women often get objectified and become awful when in fandom. Especially with RPF. Because there are like, no female canon characters.

OMG! I am so writing the Bodyjar with robots in, and maybe, Kelis and Nas battling evil droids! Ahh! Awesome! (So, I hope you don't mind that I'm stealing your idea.)

Yay! Nope, I think music-spacefic would rock! Haha, I think I kinda hoped you would steal it.

Now, I've a new challenge. "Brighty's Multi- Fandom Extravaganza! A Crossover With Space, and her Other Fandoms!"

Yes!

Yaay! Ahh, this entry has like 3 mini convos going on in the comments. I salute your convo-generating fannishness.
