A most excellent author and I were talking today with regards to fandom's canon nazis. She said to me that she wished that those people would stop taking the *fun* out of her *hobby*. I agreed with her on many levels. Although extreme canon!rape can be annoying, probably even more annoying are people who are constantly chastising people about it. And generally making people feel stupid for the crime of writing what they want as a hobby.

But it brought up a whole new set of questions I have about fanfiction and the overall dismissal of people's hard work, using words like *cliche*. Hence my post today.

( What is 'cliche' and why is it so bad?Collapse )

What do you think?

Oh, I almost forgot the part where I am supposed to post this in my own lj...heh, nOOb, what can I say?

Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

My answers, for xylodemon.

ETA: More questions answered, this time from petulantgod

Lately this has been coming up in several of my HP Yahoo!Groups.
Everybody has an opinion on it, slash forums have very interesting and passionate people in them. *wink*
I put in my 2 cents worth, as I am fairly certain why I like *slash*, and my Snarry in particular. Not that I don't like Drarry, but I am currently sailing the SS Snarry, with no plans to disembark.
But now my curiosity has been piqued, and it is like an itch I *have* to scratch...

So here are my questions, as I am sure they have been asked a thousand times before, but just humour me, dammit!

Q. When you first came across a good slash story, were you surprised you even enjoyed it?

Q. Did you start reading heavy (Adult/PWP/NC17-oops! I said the NC17 word!) slash immediately, or did you work up to it?

Q. Have you switched your favourite pairing? Why?

Q. If you can recall, what was the story that changed it all for you? Either from gen/het to slash, or from one pairing to another.


Feel free to answer any or all. Thanks!
Cheers!
