Everything you need to know is in the meta-text.
No word-update today, because I am in the middle of a thing but have to go to bed, so it can all come together to be tomorrow's total and make it look as though I had a very diligent Saturday!

Date: 2013-11-08 02:28 pm (UTC)On one hand, yes, gay relationships in fanfiction are largely written by women who I believe we can say are mainly straight and cis-gendered, just based on numbers. Because of this, they're not likely to reflect a genuine homosexual male experience.
Oh the other hand, as long as you write your characters as people and not tropes it will read as genuine regardless. On the other other hand, writing gay fanfiction seems like a pretty bad way to explore heterosexuality and I'm hoping that's just a typo. On the other other other hand, I get really annoyed when people talk about men being 'feminized' in fanfiction because it feeds into the stereotype that women lack the mental acuity to write men because we somehow don't understand masculinity on a level deeper than the lust in our loins, even though men have been writing women since the dawn of time and no one complains when THEY do it. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard someone refer to a male characters weak simply because they broke down under extreme duress. SIRIUS BLACK WAS IN THE WORST PRISON EVER FOR TWELVE FUCKING YEARS AND IF YOU DON'T THINK BEING REUNITED WITH HIS BEST FRIEND, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE FUCKING, WOULDN'T OVERWHELM HIM, THEN I'M NOT SURE YOU KNOW HOW PEOPLE WORK. Like, I've seen men cry. With my own eyes even! For many different reasons! That is not a feminine trait!
And even if it WAS a feminine trait, fuck you, I would personally really appreciate more bisexual representation that didn't demonize me as greedy or unable to make up my mind, and men dressing like women is hot.
/kicks away soap box.
Um...sorry about that.

Date: 2013-11-09 10:06 pm (UTC)(Even though it panders to other stereotypes because Pru is tall and ... not delicate .. for a Regency woman, and Robin is short and somewhat dainty for a Regency man ... but that's another rant. :P)

Someone is wrong on the internet!
