OMG NO, don't be sorry!

This, all of it, it's like you PULLED IT FROM MY BRAIN re: Neal and Archie. I just ... MTE.

And since you encouraged my madness, a few further thoughts on the whole bottoming/topping ISSUE. One of my big BIG issues is that a LOT of writers (and, hey, also just people out and about) tend to conflate topping or bottoming in terms of power dynamics with the physical act of penetration and that is ... not correct. Which isn't to say there isn't something very powerful about that act, but it's not the be all, end all (just ask a lesbian!) and it is totally possible to bottom from the top or top from the bottom. And I feel like fandom (not ours in particular, but like, in general) as a mostly female and (probably) mostly straight group are sometimes not careful about representations of gay male sex. Of course, not all fanfic needs to be or should be realistic. That would defeat the point of fanfic. But in terms of this issue specifically, well ... let's say it's a bug in my bonnet :-P

And I feel like I should qualify that this is mostly not related to anything I've seen on _etc. I've been in fandom a while, and SPN fandom is ... considerably more, um, broad in its tastes. So this is like ... my fandom baggage or something, lol.

Yes, I do think you are correct on fandom in general. I came from bandom before this, and that was probably the most well informed fandom I have ever set foot in. There was a lot of flexibility in almost every single pairing, and I adored that about it.

Speaking as a bi-sexual (leaning towards women) woman, who in my teen years had more gay friends than straight (by a large ratio...I spent every friday night at a teen gay club) I feel like I may have a bit of a better understanding than the general person in fandom, so I guess I try to give leeway to other writers? I don't know if I am making sense, I am rather tired, lol.

I think there should always be a stride to realistically portray people as people, even in the most AU of AU's. In the end, we are basing them off of people, and it should show. My point being that, this has every right to be an issue for you ficwise.

I think I will stop now though, because I am fairly certain my thoughts are not coming out coherently, haha. :D

IDK if I give leeway to people? I think it depends on how much I like other aspects of the fic, concept, writing style, etc. if I'm willing to let stuff slide a little bit. But I'm all about don't like don't read. If something bothers me, I'll just back button to a corner of the internet I like better.

*SEKRIT BISEXUAL HANDSHAKE TIME* by which I mean, hey me too!

ANYWAYS! you should get some rest or something! Been fun essaying with you :-D
