Re: Gender & Slash

[(Anonymous)]

Aroace cis woman. I started my fandom career shipping this one het pairing, and first read slash out of curiosity about why it existed at all. Thanks to the fandom friends I had back then and the specific fandom I was in, I read a lot of femslash in the early years, and the first same-sex fic I wrote was w/w. Personally, I don't feel like there's any difference between shipping het and slash pairings. What interests me in romance is how the characters play off of each other; simply put, do their dynamic entertain me?

I can't remember where it was, but a few years back there was someone pointing out that you could more or less predict the popularity of slash in the fandom just by comparing how many lines the men in any given film had, compared to the women. I definitely think there's something in that: People write about the characters that interest them, and those are naturally the ones that get the most attention in canon.

But yeah, there are certainly a lot of people who are into slash because they just like gay stuff, and I think there's a good number of them who don't realize that gay fanfic has very little to do with the RL experiences of queer people. I don't know how queer people feel about this, but my guess would be that the real problem would be the moment where (slash fans crowd to queer stories because of omg canon gay.
