I can haz writing meta feminist rage?
Jun. 19th, 2010 03:28 pmFirst, let me say something: I know I have slashers in my flist and before I get to the core of the issue here, I'd like to say that I respect you and your writing very much, mostly because you're awesome people and because you have a very deep and reflective stance towards writing slash and because, as far as I know, when you write boy slash you don't make the mistake of eliminating all and every female character from your stories (have I ever told you how much I love you for making Laura Cadman a very important person for your Lorne,
bluflamingo or how much I love your writing because so many of your Newcomers are women, despite the series having heavy slashy under- and overtones,
scherryzade? ;)). The following text is in no way meant to insult you or belittle your writing. Still... I had to write it.
Because, see, today I discovered a very long article (as in, a whole page) on slashers in the German major (left-leaning) newspaper Berliner Zeitung and because I was overjoyed to see that such an established and important newspaper took a look at fanfiction and even gave it a whole page, I started to read it... only to start frowning after about three phrases.
( Oh Berliner Zeitung, why did you DO that? )
