I'm curious what people will think about slash 200 years from now. Will
- people regard it as an odd group of nutters?
- people regard it as a subversive feminist movement?
- it be completely forgotten?
- there be lots of professionally published fiction that is like slash?
- it have been completely suppressed because fandom grew too big and the copyrighters came out and killed it? What would fans do in this case? Invent new characters and go on slashing? And would that be the way to professionally publish it?
Or what? What do you think?
: I _hope_ that they will more likely regard it with the slightly bemused 'how weird!' reaction I'm seeing in 6 year old girls discovering that not too long ago, women did _not_ go to university or become doctors or train in astrophysics or go into professional sports. I'm hoping that people will look at it and say, 'just imagine, people used to be _shocked_ by women doing this!'
