And in other news
Jan. 2nd, 2003 08:41 pmI keep trying to write a long analytical entry on RPS, and giving up for lack of caring. XD
No, really... I've been poking at the idea for a long time, trying to figure out the whys and wherefores of the thing - because it's not at all as simple as one might think. (Have you ever wondered why no one thinks to slash Neil Gaiman, despite the fact that a surprising number of people write fic for Good Omens, and an even larger number of people - some of whom I know personally - not-so-secretly think the man is adorable? No, you haven't wondered. I know. I do all the reckless wondering around here.) I've gotten to the point where I'm groping at the edge of a theory, but my own reaction to the stuff is counterintuitive. And it may be worthwhile (for me, not necessarily for you) to ramble on a bit about that.
( So in no particular order: )
