Slashy Nominations 108: The Deadliest Foe to Virtue Would Be Complete Self-Knowledge

When you slash your average pair o' characters, you've got some questions you need to answer if you're going to make it believable

But, see, certain people have to be reminded to read the famous stories, and of course some folks have to be poked to read the great stuff in fandoms they don't know.

Yes, yes, yes. Don't feel bad. I'm just starting to dip my toe into due South fandom, and this helps a lot. So, thanks.

and also because some of us don't actually sit down and watch the canon until oh say this week and so we find your old posts which we'd clicked over thinking "I don't know any of these people" and spend an evening reading fic instead of washing dishes.

Another person wandering in the fannish wilderness now discovering a safe (ish) harbor. Yay!

I tell you, every time someone gets into dS (canon or no), my withered little heart just swells with joy. Is it not a wonderful fandom? Are there not legions of wonderful stories? And is the canon not a) excellent and b) the slashiest damn thing ever?

(And let us not speak of dishes, not while there is dS FF to read; any reasonable diner would understand that getting Ray and Fraser together right now is far more important than mere tableware.)

Welcome to dS. May you be very happy here. I mean, I sure am; there was a time when every single entry in this LJ didn't contain a mention of Ray Kowalski. If you can imagine such a thing.

Ahh, thank you so much for the warm embrace. New fandoms are scary, but I knew I had to take the step when I spammed my own comments with Fraser/RayK pics. It's nice to feel welcome.
