ithiliana: The Male Gaze (relating to but not exactly connected to the Slash Authorship Imbroglio) - That's why we need concepts like kyriarchy, and intersectionality: one cannot claim only to exist on the "less privileged" identity axis. -

artistbettyanne: [in yourthoughtson] A Scandal in 221B Baker Street - However, I can also see the appeal of not sexualizing everything. There is a certain degree of association that's getting out of hand. Marriage = Sex. Love = Sex. Infatuation = Sex. Life-long enemies = Sex. Best friends = Sex. Look at each other for more than three seconds on screen = Sex. // Really, people? That's the best you can do? -

doctorv: My write-fu is superior. LEARN YA SOMETHIN' - Co-writing can be an incredibly fulfilling experience and can result in a product much greater than one single brain could have created. // That said, it can also, as with most aspects of writing, be a horrible crime against nature and reason. -

miera_c: Thoughts on slash - I've reached a point where I feel that women writing about male characters, even nominally straight male characters in a homosexual relationship, is a way we are participating in our own erasure. -

eumelia: This Is Never Going To End, Is It? - Yes, there is nothing but the text and within it there is subtext and outside it there is metatext - we do not live in a vacuum, everything we read and write has a political bend some more explicit than others. -

fizzyblogic: in which i talk a lot (often in parentheses) - What I need from stories in order for my heart not to feel battered, what I get from slash fandom, are stories about people who like people with the same gender and/or genitals as them, and they get to be happy and they get to be something other than who they are banging (or not banging, someone please tell me where the asexuality!fic is). -
