I don't expect you to be anything other than supportive of the community, and I don't think that's a bad thing at all. I was expressing sadness that is more about fandom in general—heck, probably society in general—and really a sadness that even our Future Benevolent Overlord can't break through that particular glass ceiling. It isn't the responsibility of one fic comm to do that, self-consciously or otherwise. I certainly don't think y'all are "doing it wrong."

But I am sad that the 2-3-4 pairings are Rahm-centric. I know that it's about punditslash fandom, which is a considerable pile of people, esp where the holy quartet (Jon-Stephen-Anderson-Keith) is concerned. But why not slash Barack with everything that moves? And I know that this is something that's organic, and can't be controlled, and generally I don't worry about things like this because it's an exercise in frustration, believe me.

But if Barack Obama can't become the politicslash fandom bicycle, or at least the narrative prize, than what black man can?

Yeah, you absolutely have a very valid point.

It's difficult to say this because obviously there's no way to know for sure, but I think partially it's because Rahm is the character he is. He dropped into our laps as this nine-fingered tutu-wearing pundit-kissing mythic figure already primed to inhabit a fandom persona.

I think it's inevitable that a character as colorful and eccentric as Rahm is would be the inevitable (sorry I CANNOT HELP IT) Draco to Barack's Harry, and draw the fandom's attention away from him in similar ways.

What I think is more significant is that even in a fandom where all the other "characters" are competing for attention, Barack still gets as much as or more attention from us than all of them combined. Maybe it is a sign of, well. Fannish progress at least? Maybe?

(I highly endorse Barack becoming the fandom bicycle and/or narrative prize. I just needed to put that out there. )

Dropping in to say that I see your point, too (and try in my own small way to point attention to Barack, because he's why I'm in this fandom at all anyway).

And also to note that there is a very strong (if small) sub-fandom of Obama/Biden going on. And I think I've even seen Barack/Anderson. More like this pls. :)
