The AD's Office Interview: The Boys Night Out: Some Members of the Male Slash Fans Mailing List is a chat.
It is part of a series. See The AD's Office Interviews.
Topic discussed: condoms and safe sex in slash fiction, feminizing men and domestic fiction, women writing slash, things that are hot, TPTB and homoerotic subtext, and much more.
Some Excerpts
I think that I've (unwittingly) found slash appealing and humorous ever since seeing an impromptu comedy act called "Star Trick" [four or five years ago].
Part of my ambivalence about that Host, is that I hate to second-guess whether they've actually "gotten [the mechanics of m/m sex] wrong", or whether that's in fact the way that they really wish the guy-characters would behave.
I've had massive problems with customs confiscating stuff, so I don't do the print zine thing, at least not when they come from outside of Europe.
Highlander has some beautiful artwork online. I wish we could get some in the x-files fandom.
The only courting romance story I have read was a Due South one called Urging of a Mountie where Ray is courted by Benny from a long time...I think that is gay fiction rather than slash
Otoh, if "feminizing" mean corrupting the character, then I tend to see it as weak writing - bordering "Mary Sue" in this respect: that it's contorting the character into a form that the writer particularly wants to see.
Mulder in high-heels and a frilly white apron, vacuuming. Nope, don't buy it. But maybe Skinner. Yeah, I could picture Skinner that way.
Bacharack Figurines is the only story I have seen that address the occasional problem of post anal intercourse problem. Try to think of polite way to say. Semen is acid and affects the ph balance inside and can make going to the bathroom a necessity. It was a badly written technically story, I did not read much of it.
don't need the 'safe' in the slash... I despise reading about condoms...
But really, I like the safe sex part of the story, am I wierd or what. It's part of sex these days and I like to see how people make it part of the whole sex act.
[mayonnaise as lubrication]: why does that remind me of Bill the Cat?
