Re: Fandom meta theories

[(Anonymous)]

Too much awareness of the concept of homoeroticism has ruined a lot of same-sex friendships in TV and movies and has made slash boring, because a) the "no homo" is so visible and clunkily awkward in canon and b) fanfic authors don't even try to make a convincing argument and write believable character/relationship development anymore.

Slash is so much better for really old works, where the authors weren't always winking at the camera and so the relationships could be taken in different ways and still feel realistic a whole lot easier, and slash authors had to write convincingly to get the characters to fall in love.

+MANY!

I want to read stories where I feel that the author cares about their characters. I don't get that when the author doesn't develop their characters; I don't get that when the plot (term used very... loosely) doesn't venture beyond the circumstances required to get those characters into bed.

At the same time, I nod my head when people say, "But writing a friendship that turns into more is HARD!" Yes, yes it is. But it's worth it; it's immensely satisfying to pull off a realistic friendship that turned into more.

And if writing was easy, we'd all be a lot better at it.

I love old TV for this reason. Two characters could hug or have a heart to heart conversation without creators being aware of slash shipping, fan baiting and whatnot.
