Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

(LJ's still lagging here and there, good luck.)

When I first got involved in fandom, I was in the process of figuring myself out and coming out to family/friends. There wasn't a lot of femmeslash around, but there was plenty of slash. I identified with the writing a bit... It made me feel understood when there weren't many gay people around me IRL. That's changed quite a lot (it was 11 years ago). There are more gay people where I live now and there's more femmeslash in my fandoms. But the slash is what got me through a difficult time and it's what I'm into now because of that.

This was pretty much my experience. I knew I wasn't straight, but I didn't really know what I was, or even how to describe what I was feeling. Reading stories about two men being able to love one another in a way that most media showed heterosexual couples was the thing that made me realise I wasn't weird, I just wanted that</> with a woman. It holds a special place in my heart as a result.

That's exactly how I feel. :D
