Re: Slash fans of FS

Right now I feel like I'm the one person on this comm who fits into the straight white female slasher stereotype. Yes, I'm a straight female who happens to be white. Yes, I do like slash for the tired old reasoning of "One guy is hot, two guys together is hotness squared", and have used that reasoning myself. Often they end up white too, but I don't think that is because I have a problem with POC characters, I think it is simply because more often the Main Characters tend to be white (yes, I know, that means more representation is needed, I won't argue with that).

But I am more in it for characters. If I like the characters and think they have an interesting dynamic that I'd like to explore a romantic angle on, then I will hunt fics that ship them. I also tend to favour plotty fics. I can live without explicit sex scenes if a fic has a good plot and a decently written romance.

I also read a lot of het too. I will say that all the same things apply to it as well - I want characters I like, who I think have potential together, and plot. I don't necessarily need porn.

I don't often read femmeslash. I don't feel a connection at all to lesbian sex. That does not mean I never read it, but I am even less interested in any sex scenes and more interested in the character combinations and plot.


I have no illusions that slash is at all similar to gay erotica, or that it really reflects RL gay experience. I don't expect gay men to behave like characters in slash fics.

I don't think my liking slash has any "social justice points", but I will say this - I grew up with the mindset of "gay is wrong, hate the sin, love the sinner". I only shook that off when I started reading slash. How much does that affect Real Life? Well I won't insult gay people for being gay.

I agree with all of this (except the last scene, but I think that's just a generational thing) except completely flip the gender polarity throughout

I'm not sure my last bit is a generational thing, unless you mean that modern liberal christian denominations have totally scrapped the "homosexuality is a sin" thing. I would call my upbringing moderately conservative, as in just a step or two on the conservative side of the middle, so while they did believe "homosexuality is a sin", they also believed that being an asshole to gay people was also a sin.
