Remember my little het thing yesterday? Well, I did try the fics and I only have one thing to say: next time a hetter gets on my case for being an evil slasher who hates women and is a misogynist at heart, I'll just point and laugh. I'll also organise a little meeting between a pot and a kettle. Well actually no, I won't since I don't believe in this slash-fandom-is-misogynist crap theory anyway. So, I'll just point and laugh. But. Since generalising is stupid and because, of course, a batch of stories doesn't a fandom/genre make, I'm willing to try again *is so heroic* It's just that I was so not impressed... Then again, a hetter trying slash for the first time and finding the worst stories slash has to offer would also be scared away, so let's not jump to conclusions.

On a different note now, I continued with my Gay Porn watching and finally got to watch some supposedly hardcore ones and it was... disappointing different? No, I'm thinking I need my slave boys to be all pretty and sweet looking to get me interested in what is happening to them to begin with. Big muscled guys? Doesn't work for me. As for the other video which was supposed to be on the darker side of the road... well, it bored me to death, for which I'm blaming Mr Bottom since he was apparently thinking of something else. Thinking of what I don't know, but I'd wager it had something to do with, say, doing his taxes? Or maybe making his grocery list. One of those. And btw, what is with the elevator background music?

Something else that I watched which was beautiful and certainly not disappointing was wesleysgirl's last vid, the one she premiered at ConneXions based on the movie Priest. I've never heard of that movie until yesterday but wow, I'd love to see it now because the vid was quite enticing *g* She posted a link for a YSI file so I'm not sure if it's still up for grabs, but you may check her post, just in case?

enigel? I started watching Numb3rs 1x08 and realised the file sucked, ie it's impossible to watch. I tried several codec packages and it's still not working. I hate avil files with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, let me tell you. Anyway, it'll take me some time to solve the problem so no new Numb3rs right now *sigh*

Ooohhh they're airing Once & Again again. Sela Ward! *glassy eyes* It's funny but I find that woman a hundred times more gorgeous at 43 than at 27 [Once & Again v Emerald Point N.A.S., if it rings a bell]. She's one of my tv!girlfriends. I? Like older women too *licks lips*

I think I'm just not interested in reading het. I'll keep trying again because I want to find some het that I like, but it's just not my cup of tea so to speak *shrug* Like I'll always take vanilla over chocolate - there's no hidden agenda behind it, it's really just a matter of taste *g*

And do people sometimes write things that don't feel right? Cause why do their write in that case, where is the fun?

I seem to want to write what I'd like to read, and I'd found so little fanfiction that had a mixture of het and slash couples, which seemed a lot more like "real life" to me.
So, I started writing it in Gundam Wing, which has such a large cast of characters, male and female, that you can mix em up anyway you like.

In some fandoms, that obviously doesn't work, such as where the focus is on two characters, mainly.
When the slash pairing is obvious, I go with the flow. I started out writing het though, because the fandom I first was interested in has obvious het pairings.
I'm not much of a smut writer anyway, even when I write sex, I tend to focus on dialog and characterization. LOL I can write two people talking about sex much better than them actually having it, I think.

Writing smut isn't all what it's cracked up to be, I realised *g* And I like your method. Writing two people talking about sex instead of writing them doing it. Good move lol
