Fanfiction: Fess Up
Quote:
I will add this, while it is true that women are running the market on MM slash stuff, many young gay male teens AND FTMs (who are classified as women still, sadly), are writing slash. I write slash, and read slash.

So, who has actually read some fanfiction? Or better yet, written any?

I completely agree. It wasn't the focus of this piece but it's totally true. I have a few older gay male friends who write and read slash as well. I think the tone of the sex and stories can be a little different than when women--particularly straight women--are writing and reading. The best slash writers I know are lesbians.

I think the diversity is part of what makes it a really fun community. (And a community prone to wankitude.)

Oh definitely. I just wanted to add my own two cents. And as far as the writing style, it's very different. I just purchased a MM slash book because my mom pointed it out at the romance section, and it was by an author of Erastes and she writes historical, which I like, but the book was HORRIBLE. Does she really think gay men have that much drama? And the whole "I don't really want to be gay because it's against my religion" and the constant twists that made no sense, it was definitely a disappointment.

I wonder if the opposite is true for femslash (female x female fanfiction). Are the majority of those who write femslash male? Somehow, I doubt it.
As to my confessions: I used to be a pretty big Legolas x Aragorn 'shipper and Yamato x Taichi (from Digimon) 'shipper. Wrote a little, read a lot

A fewwww slashy novels I've read were good. Most of them are terrible. I prefer gay fiction by men.

Ha, I write a lot of random non-sense... and last weekend I wrote the initial draft for this hard X, GI Joe-style adventure story between two arch enemies: Diane Sawyer & Cynthia McFadden (both are ABC news correspondents).
I also wrote another about Count Chocula and some his sexual exploits that you can you can check out on Tales from the Porn Store. (Technically it is a re-mix)
