Re: OP

THIS. I so incredibly rarely have found a het story where the female character is depicted in a way I respected even a little bit. Most het I've bothered to read is boring and frustrating and patriarchal for "romantic" reasons, buying into societal norms that irk me.
In fact, I won't read slash where one of the male characters is depicted as giving up his autonomy or is woobie-fied to the extent he has no freaking agency. It pisses me the fuck off every time (and bores me to tears.)

The whole reason I got into slash to begin with is for the equality of the partnership. That and the two cocks. (I do sometimes read femslash, but as I'm a straight woman, not as often.) But if they don't act like equals, I say fuck it and backbutton out of there.

Your opinions. I shares them.

I want equals that het does not often give. I also want less woobie and more IC (over-woobification counts as OOC).

AYRT

over-woobification counts as OOC

Right on. It boggles me that people enjoy reading stuff that's so OOC, but different strokes. Everyone gets something different out of fandom, which is why OP's post is so ridiculous.

And the OP makes assumptions about people finding het "gross" that are inaccurate as far as I'm concerned. I don't find it gross. I often find it offensive to myself politically, yes, or boring, and it pushes my sexism hotbuttons, and my resentment of the Establishment, but I don't find it repulsive.

I just prefer sticking it to the Man. Literarily-speaking.

More and more I am accepting that the porn is not the important part of fanfic for me. I'm here for the romance, while the porn is just a happy bonus (as long as it's well-written). The romance works better if the characters stay as close to In Character as possible, because too far OOC and it stops being them in everything but name.

And I have never subscribed to the "Het is gross!" idea, not even during my most strict slasher days. Just because I'm a straight woman does not mean I have to read het all the time.

Yis! The more IC it is, the more *there* I am, so the more the romance works for me. And the porn works better then anyway, because it's always hotter if I believe in them.
