White Collar: a question about Elizabeth in three-way fiction
Obvious point is obvious: if you don't care for threeway fiction in White Collar, this is not the post you're looking for. ;)
I'm thrilled, absolutely thrilled, that so many fans have embraced the idea of Elizabeth/Peter/Neal, but I've noticed something odd about most of the three-way stories I've read in this fandom.
( only behind a cut because NSFW words are used )
I don't even know what's on your hard drive, BUT I AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT.
Maybe that's a part of it... possibly I'm just befuddled because, when I started in fandom, I was a gen fan. I was twelve, and just on the edge of going SEX OMG. In my later teens, I was all into the het romances on my shows, so I read a lot of het fanfiction, but I couldn't understand the fascination with slash, and had no interest in reading any of it. Then in the early '90s, I was at a con where someone was selling Quantum Leap slash zines, and I was like, "What? Al's a HOLOGRAM? How are they having sex?!", so I had to buy it to find out what on Earth the writers were doing... and that's how I discovered slash.
So I'm a fan of all of the Big Three categories of fanfiction, and the Venn diagrams shift about all the time. I know a lot of people got into fandom *through* slash (that still boggles my mind), so I guess I can understand that. I hope it's not going to keep poor El, who is a heterosexual woman with kinks, from *ever* getting laid with cock. I mean, who doesn't want to fuck Neal Caffrey? (Okay, probably there are plenty of people who don't, but ELIZABETH DOES, dammit.)
Seriously, at this point, the fact that I don't have an Elizabeth icon is a crime.
So instead, I offer this:
