*waves at the new people*

[rm]

Since there's been a recent influx, here's the "ask random questions" post. If you've got a question for me (whether you're new here or not), feel free. No topic is off-topic.

Meanwhile, for the people involved in the hyphenated-American conversation (or the Florida doctor experimenting on pregnant women to prevent "gender inappropriate" behavior in girls) -- LJ isn't emailing me my comments today. I'm sort of trying to keep up, but am actually pretty lost. I hope you all are getting comments though or having fun amongst yourselves or something. I'll catch up soon.

Finally, for those who aren't here for the ranting and the politics but for the porn: I've figured out the Jack/Ianto long BDSM fic I"ve threatened to write. So yeah. Probably won't touch it until after Bristol. But writing it, yes.

Now, dinner time, and Patty and I have some Buffy to watch.

Ok, since you're asking to be asked questions, here goes:

I hope this doesn't sound offensive, but is there a reason you write slash and not femmeslash? I'm asking because I'm a big fan of your stories, but I don't think I've ever seen you slash females. Maybe I've missed it, or maybe there's a reason?

Also, my friend was asking me why I read slash when I am not attracted to men. Is it reasonable to say I find something erotic, but I myself would not like to partake in the activities I'm reading about?

Also, finally, can I friend you?

P.S. I am recently out of the closet as well as recently into fandom, so I apologize in advance if any of this is offensive. I don't have a very good internet voice, so things don't always come out like I mean them too :)

re: femmeslash -- no particular reason. It's not a policy thing with me and it's not something I'm entirely comfortable with since you know, female-ish person involved with a chick. I know some gay women don't write it because it feels too close to their own realities and stuff like that... but mostly I just don't. That said, I'm not a wide-ranging author in general. I get on a character or a situation in a world that I'm interested in and I just write that a lot. I do have a lesbian werewolf story in progress though.

And sure. What turns our crank on the page often doesn't in real life. It's true of all sorts of stuff like kinks and even narratives that in life would really not be our thing. I think various flesh configurations count too.

And sure. Friend away! I mostly only yell when people aren't trying.

Thanks for your reply. Also, lesbian werewolves sound intriguing, if not a bit scary :)
