i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.

just picked some fresh lilac and i’m about to drink some wine and write gay porn. no one is having as much fun as me rn.

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

women were not banging out spirk fanfiction in the 60s for you to be AI generating your fic

sometimes u go to a ship’s ao3 page and the top 10 fics are like “what if these guys were 2 completely different guys but had the same actors’ faces and character names”

ETA: As a matter of fact, here’s the first Five Things story ever: http://archiveofourown.org/works/9519

I just found the Fanlore article, and it looks like while Basingstoke invented the format, Strangecreature, a Torchwood writer, might be one of the first to have used “five times and one time.” But the original prompt was Basingstoke’s. And it’s definitely fanfiction only in origin.

I love it when conversations about this come around again!  How cool is it that I know people in fannish history! (and how uncool is it that I never know it was Bas who invented this until recently – where was I, under a rock?)

tee hee. It wasn’t on purpose! I did the first Five Things and then people have been riffing on it for the past decade. It’s neat. 

It’s SUPER neat. I love fandom.

can we have heated rivalry but with bears

this post was about big hairy men. big sweaty strong hairy musclefat men. mike parrow. martins licis. BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT

on this blog we support men whining. men squirming! men whimpering!!

also men begging!!! men cursing under their breath !!!men whispering “pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease” !!!

if we can set aside attachment discourse for a moment (please) i think the jedi marriage prohibition makes sense in a “please don’t enter a complex legal, financial, social, and in some cases religious contract, the specifics of which vary wildly depending on planet and culture” way. the single jedi with a law degree does not have time to draft everyone’s prenups to prevent the whole order from getting sued
