*snort* hermione, you cock-hungry minx? that should be bella's opening line in book 7.

speaking of (and in response to 2001's article), there was a notable lack of femmeslash mentioned in their harry potter-porn-sting. guess it's easier to villify gay porn if it doesn't include something that's already socially acceptable, barring fanatics who think porn is evil on the whole.

psychoanalyzing why women read and write slash has always been a matter of deepest annoyance with me. it's sex. it's hot. opportunities for creativity (especially in the HP fandom) expand tenfold, because there are that many more important-to-canon male characters. those characters' respective conflicts add wonderful depth to their romantic interactions, and vice versa.
anybody who's read nimori, or cassandra claire, or fabula rasa (or amanuensis1...sorry, i feel a little goofy giving you props in your own thread...heh), could tell you that.

slash is like calcium. it does the female body good.

(Hee, you like my favorite authors, too. :D ) Women want romance with their gay, and that's all there is to it, sometimes. Exactly.

Women want romance with their gay

or at least some juicy kink. y'know.

yeah, you led me to nimori with your rec page, so many thanks are due to you. Rat's Alley was the first story i heard about by fabula rasa. i went on an epic search for that one before i finally found her site.

i could write a memoir: a fangirl's quest for fanfic mecca. ;)
