Some days, you gotta let it out.

On slash: I don't see the point of turning two men into women, and then pairing them together. What you're looking for is called "femmeslash."

Not all slash does this. The vast majority of it, I've found, does. Kind of kicks the theory of "two hot guys together" in the teeth. See, that I can get. The turning one or more of them into women, I do not. If you're going to do that, either actually use female characters, or keep them as men. Doing otherwise is an atrocity that makes me want to laugh and laugh and laugh and gouge my eyes out if they don't first fall out of my head from rolling too hard.

Actually, do what you want. But dude. Call it as it is.

Why I can can hardly read slash anymore: Is fluffy DRECK. About two women with penises.

So. If you have slash recs that don't have the above limitations, rec here so that I might see the attraction once more. Otherwise, I can get fluffy dreck from het fics, which aren't nearly as supercilious, and has the added bonus of actually featuring at least one man.

To apologize for ranting, but also to kind of prove my point, here is some hot Draco/Ginny/Harry smut that [livejournal.com profile] mynuet just posted. Dom!Draco!! Whooooo. And am going to be beta'ing smut that [livejournal.com profile] jade_okelani just sent my way. Am v. lucky girl!

*ponders* You're entirely right. There is slash that does that, and it's horrid. But then there's the issue of meshing canon characterization with writing a man who's gay, because I believe in real life there are some traits some gay men display that perhaps straight men do not, to the same degree.

Eh, you know what? My friend [livejournal.com profile] shayllla said that, plus a whole bunch of other things on the topic, better than I ever could here.

Anyway, yeah, I like slash that is about two MEN myself. Dunno what pairings you might be after, so I'll rec you a bit of a variety:

Flesh and Substance, by [livejournal.com profile] wikdsushi. Remus/Sirius, NC-17, one-shot. Two straight guys fuck.

Circles of Power, by Mad Martha. Harry/Ron, post-Hogwarts. Novel-length, complete. There's a nice Draco characterization running around in there, too.

Darkly Inclined, by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] sahiya. WIP. There's a Harry/Hermione/Ron triangle running around in this fic, as well as a Hermione/Harry/Draco one (does that make *any* sense?), plus Remus/Sirius. Also, plot! Which is always nice.

Flagell, by [livejournal.com profile] shayllla. They cannot fuck in silence. Remus/Sirius, NC-17, one-shot.

And I can always bring more... *evil grin*

Thank you! Image

I believe one of the "S" authors you rec'ed wrote a wonderful R/Hr piece that I really liked. Don't remember now who the specific writer was ...
