OK. I had a busy week, I admit it. I haven't been paying as much attention to livejournal as I might have. But I just looked at this week's edition of metafandom, and wow. Was it a slow week for television or something? Where did all the wank come from? Women shouldn't write from a male pov? Or should we? Are we really about to have slash vs. het again, complete with witty observations like, "Well, it seems to me that het fic isn't very good. Of course, I don't read much of it," and decent het writers with an attachment to fandom being classified as "atypical"? And we haven't even finished talking about whether slash is gay or not!

Please tell me that there will lots and lots of new television next week, so that we will all be backing away from the stupidity.

Wow, people are dumb.

It hurts me in my soul, man.

Also, hey, let's keep in mind that's "boyslash vs. het" because whenever someone says "slash is better than het" they sure as hell DO NOT mean femslash. That just doesn't even exist because there is no sex without cocks or penetration. *smiles* See, I have LEARNED things from fandom. Like that.

Also that Bill Adama completes Laura Roslin's soul and having his baby would make her pause about her pro-choice stance.

I still haven't figured out whetehr people who write f/f are above or below het writers on the Great Chain of Slash Being. But everyone knows that babies make your life complete!

It's like the week of crazy out there. Scary.

I think f/f writers are a polite fiction in most of these analyses -- both sides seem to believe it doesn't exist, or that people who write it don't write "the good stuff" or take it seriously, because after all, just because two girls are friendly -- or up in each other's personal space acting like lesbian co-parents -- doesn't mean they're GAY. That's too much. ;)

We all need photoshopped icons of Queen Victoria kissing some hot chick for times like these.

Below, obviously - there are no BOYS in f/f!

(Wha? Het writers are less committed to fandom? WTF, fandom?)

I know! It's like the attack of the insane crazy people out there.
