Talk:Benton Fraser

Two fanon points I wanted to ask about: 1. A sentence in this section currently reads, There's a fair amount of debate on Fraser's sexuality; whether he's gentlemanly and/or repressed enough to be a virgin (this despite canon's overtly sexual episode "Victoria's Secret"]] Does fanfiction actually represent him as still a virgin post-Victoria's Secret? I haven't read anything that assumed this. I've seen various fanfic interpretations of whether he had sexual partners other than Victoria. I came across a reference to "apocryphal" canon in ds_discourse (will hunt down the link) that stated Paul Haggis's opinion that he was a virgin before Victoria's Secret. 2. I noticed some pretty colorful fanon additions to Spock's character page, so it might be worth mentioning that a lot of fanfic assumes that Fraser is uncircumcised.--Aethel 17:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

found the link; added the link. --Aethel 02:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, there is fic that presumes Fraser is a virgin, just ignoring VS totally. I mean, virginity is a kink anyway, and Fraser's likelier than most! I'll try to add some examples when I get a minute--Speranza 22:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Wait... how *is* the name pronounced? If not Fray-zer, then...how? Frä-zer? ^^; (yes, I've never seen the show) --lian 22:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Nope, it's not the vowel that changes, it's the "z" sound -- it's softer, something like Fray-zher. --Arduinna 22:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I changed the wording to make this clearer.--Aethel 17:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

"Slash and Ships" heading: I have seen this dichotomy in some fandoms (ships=het ships, slash=slash ships), but I don't recall seeing this usage in dS fandom on LiveJournal. Did or does dS fandom have this usage? If not, I'd rather use a heading like "Pairings" or "Shipping"--whatever is least confusing.--Aethel 20:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Not that I recall -- dS was pretty clear in its pairings when I was actively in the fandom in the early '00's and still remains fairly divided (from what I've seen) between its het and slash; even its slash has divisions. Shipping was more a XF thing when I was in dS. Then again, dS has been a fandom that has remained fairly divided among het and slash for years. There's not a whole lot of het IIRC -- canon het's limited to less than a handful of women to begin with. --Raine Wynd 07:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

FYI, changed heading to "Romantic Liaisons" because of his liaison with the Canadian Consulate schtick, but I'm not married to it. Feel free to change to something better.--æthel 03:12, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
