OMG how did you find that?

Wow. That just captured...the good side and the bad side to Susan and Lucy's choices, in the most perfect way. Wow. There are no words.

Thanks! :D

I found it BECAUSE I AM A GENIUS HAHA.

Okay, that was a lie. really I found it because it's part of the Yuletide project 2004, at http://www.yuletidetreasure.org Yuletide, on LJ at yuletide, is an annual Christmas gift project for rare fandoms- so Narnia, Ocean's Eleven (Danny/rusty HAHA), all sorts of other stuff. Little Women. Jane Austen. Dark is Rising (mmmbran/will/jane muahaha!) Anyway, because it's HUGE OMG, people have been reccing all over the place and that was one of the ones that have been recced EVERYWHERE. So i read and it, and was, like "OMG Lucy would ADORE this."

It is perfect, isn't it? :)

Dammit, dammit, dammit!

This is why I generally don't read fanfic - you get drawn in and next thing you know, hours have passed. Bah! (I did like the Dogma ones and a few of the "Dark is Rising" stories - I'm always surprised that no-one has picked up film or TV rights for DiR)

I have always wondered, though, just what the male slash attraction is for females.

:p heh, serves you right.

Hmm. Slash. Well. how do you explain slash? Um. Well.

Actually, i have an idea: I think it' all down to a fundamental difference in attitude between men and women. okay? You can't understand, and i can't explain. (And actually plenty of girls don't like slash.)

You can't understand, and i can't explain
Oh, wimp out, why don't you! ;-)

I know that there are plenty of chicks who don't like slash. What's significant, though, is that the bulk of writers (and, I suspect, readers) are female, in my experience.

How about you other slash fans? Why do you write/read slash?

HNY to all, BTW

Re: Dammit, dammit, dammit!

Yep. But I actually do think it is something about the differences in mentality and attitude towards sex between guys and girls. *shrug* Of course, you're right about the bulk of writers and readers. It is in fact rare to find a guy writing slash- or, more precisely, slash with sex. In a G and PG rated sense, I suppose you find guy writers and readers in about the same proportion as you find them in fandom- that is, outnumbered. I mean, the trend probably remains, but I think that if fandom itself actually had more guys in it, the statistics, slash-wise, would probably be a little more balanced.

PS: the main slash I read FYI, is Remus/Sirius, and I read it because I really do believe it. Same reason I read ron/Hermione, right? I think they're an appropriate couple.

Re: Dammit, dammit, dammit!

NO! - Remus/Tonks all the way! (one day we will convert you...maybe :) )

Read my lips: STFU.
