THAT EXCERPT XDDDDDDDDDD

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

HAHA

oh man. a bit scarring. Also, the capital Slash. hmmmm yes. Distinction is necessary.

I thought I was experiencing a world collision when the word "fandom" was in my folklore anthropology class's syllabus, but this is a whole other level

*really amused*

Spock's member (always drawn with two ridges like planetary rings) nestled in Kirk's hand. THIS LINE. THIS LiNE, ALONE.

XDDDD Classmate reactions in the discussion today were PRICELESS.

She capitalized it all the way through, too. XD It was a cute short story.

No kidding! It's so weird to see slash in a short story and talk about it in class, too.

[aurrai]

Sounds like FUN FUN FUN FUN~

[aurrai]

I'm curious what your assessment will be like. Do you know?

[prettypriestess]

My assessment?

[aurrai]

Yanno, like, what you will be graded on.

ANALYZING THE FANWRITER MIND? THE GOLD. THE GLORY.

DUDE. DUDE. I WANT IN ON THIS. How is your teacher this awesome?? I am totally excited for you! :D Are you gonna admit to being the fangirl slash addict you are? But hot damn, that is BRILLIANT.

[prettypriestess]

I HAVE NO IDEA. My adviser told me yesterday that I will need to get a teacher to advise me from this point on, and that I needed to choose an English teacher to take me on, and since this teacher is interested in short stories and fiction and is generally an agreeable lady, she was my top choice, but after she had us reading this story... I mean. Just. I KNOW WHO I'M PICKING.

Nope. I am a STEALTHED fangirl. Stealthy like a ninja. Like some kind of Naruto, even. lol, Naruto is not usually that stealthy. >.>;;

XD I fell over laughing. A teacher with an open mind and the guts to actually delve into that type of material is made of win.

[prettypriestess]

And to think, I was thinking my first English teacher had an open mind for having us read a lime (most of the students in the class were HORRIBLY EMBARRASSED and would not talk about the scene, and I kept having to resist the urge to be like "but--that's not even--I've read worse")--but this.

Yeah. All the things you said. XD

[sarabi_v2]

I have a tendency to BE the person who will say those things lol. Like today at work another gay co-worker and I were discussing a really hot straight guy who's leaving in a week and he's sad because hes been crushing on the guy and I was just like "Yeah, I can see why you'd be interested, but I guarantee he'd only be good for a quick lay and not much else even if he was gay." and he + the two women who overheard me were just laughing and like OMG you can't say shit like that! I really don't see why they were embarrassed but whatever.

XD

[prettypriestess]

XD I'm a lot harder to embarrass than I used to be (due to having one of THOSE rl friends--they're pretty rare--you know, the kind worse than you >.>;;) so it's more that I'd like to maintain my ~*public image*~. Because, you know, it's totally something I care about. :/ (I can't even remember more than like 3 people from that class now, and it's only been a year.)

Bonus points: an rl friend kept telling me how racy and how much sex was in the book, so I took the class and expected some hardcore porn and it was just. Like, two limes? If that? One of them was so glossed over, it was more mention of sex than a glossed over account of the act. I might have reacted to the sex more if she hadn't built it up like it was some kind of thing. XD
