Sorry for the super-late reply, I kinda forgot about this thread ;>_>

I was also pleasantly surprised by how popular Amerikate turned out to be! Though I really do wish they'd had more interaction during Young Avengers. They had some good banter going in that last issue, which is what took me from "it could be cute" to "yes, I ship it" even before the tease at the end (which I honestly could have done without, if only to avoid the fandumb).

Honestly, I'm not sure what Teen Wolf ships are getting the most attention, not being a fan myself. I only know there's been so much because of the tags and headers. I do know that I've seen that ship tagged, but I wouldn't be able to give a comparison.

That's okay! Thanks for mentioning Femslash February at any rate.

Ah, if it's the “Kate is bi in canon!” bit then I agree. No she isn't, dudes. (Unless I've missed something in the latest issues of Hawkeye.) I prefer that interpretation as well, but I don't need it to be canon.

You're welcome :) I hope you find something you like, if you check it out.

Not only the "Kate is bi in canon!" thing, but also the haters complaining that the only reason anyone ships Amerikate is because of that line and how it disrespects Kate's self-identity as straight and shows America as sexually overaggressive. I mean, many shippers do run with that line (evidenced by the "it's canon!" sort) and jump right past Kate-as-questioning into Kate-as-bi, but those shippers also tend to set their works after at least a brief timeskip. I can hardly blame people for wanting to get to the point, so to speak, when a) coming outs and the like have become a tired trope for queer stories at this point and b) Kate has already had a subplot about having trouble coming to terms with having feelings for someone.

I don't understand haters... You don't get the ship, okay; I don't get plenty of ships but choose to spend my time doing things I actually enjoy. I've been in fandom too long to get worked up about non-canon ships or AU's; that shit is always going to exist, and if you have a problem with a non-canon ship then why wouldn't you get angry about everything else that was changed too? (It's too much effort! What does it matter anyway?)

So idk, but at least some folks are enjoying themselves.

I don't think I'd mind Kate skipping straight to bisexuality too much. I'd much rather her feelings be explored even if it isn't some long, drawn out realization (I get that's not for everyone, and it can be frustrating at times), but people can write what they want.

Yeah, same. I love when fics actually take the time to explore her feelings and her coming to terms with them-- heck, even just an "oh, hey, I'm bi-- that's interesting" sort of thing is fine-- and I'd love to see more like that. But, as you say, people can write what they like. And if what people like to write is Kate and America going on cute dates, being a Battle Couple, taking care of each other after missions and having sex, I've got no beef at all with that.
