Think of any two characters, and I feel like you can find slash about them somewhere...Annabeth Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455191827664110878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-53131009561110643252016-03-30T20:54:37.560-04:002016-03-30T20:54:37.560-04:00After seeing the latest Star Wars movie, I had no ...After seeing the latest Star Wars movie, I had no doubt that Poe/Finn slash was being written, even as I was watching the big (IMAX) screen. I never guessed how many stories have appeared so far! Re F/F slash fiction, the Xenaverse was very popular while Xena the Warrior Princess was showing regularly on TV. A friend of mine who was into it claimed that someone she knew on a fanfic site had her story chosen for an actual episode! And the writer was paid. :) Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-85206679810467779542016-03-30T01:15:28.825-04:002016-03-30T01:15:28.825-04:00It's a lot easier to riff on characters someon...It's a lot easier to riff on characters someone else has created, than to create your own.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-15428576814578168872016-03-30T01:14:41.736-04:002016-03-30T01:14:41.736-04:00So does anyone write F/F slash fiction?

Or is there such a dearth of strong female characters in popular culture (or popular sci/fi, at least) that one can't find a plausible pair?<br /><br />Great post, Cameron.

Kind of like choose-your-own-adventure stories, but better, because you don't just choose from alternate scenarios provided for you, but make up your own according to your own fantasies. Like, um, writing your own stories! But using characters readers will already recognize.<br /><br />Maybe some day not too far in the future people will look back on the days when writers created their own characters, and actually got paid for writing, and shake their heads in disbelief.
