Author has written 54 stories for Harry Potter. I'm a femslash fan; I especially like stories featuring Minerva McGonagall (Potterverse) or Kathryn Janeway (ST: Voyager). Would that I were as cool as either one of them. Yes, I know it's silly to be in love with fictional characters, but what can you do? I want stories that are well-written, use standard grammar/spelling, keep the characters canonical as much as possible, and show some sense of literary style. Is that too much to ask? Well, most of the time, yes. I'm afraid there's an awful lot of really bad fanfic out there. Still, I'll at least start reading any story featuring McGonagall or Janeway. But I abandon it pretty quickly if the author has basic grammar and spelling mistakes (particularly with characters' names) or if the characters are too unlike themselves and/or speak like some contemporary American kid (OMG!) But luckily, there are superb stories in both fandoms. In terms of pairings, I prefer Janeway/Seven and McGonagall/Grubbly-Plank. (That's right, Grubbly-Plank.) When I first started in the fandom, the only stories with this pairing were ones I'd written myself. Since then, fortunately, some excellent writers (The Real Snape; Tetleybag) have taken up the cause. I urge you to check out their fine fics. I also enjoy good MM/Hooch when I can find it, and there's quite a bit of pleasure to be had in MM/Augusta Longbottom, too. Normally, I'm not much of a het fan, but like all generalizations, this one has all sorts of exceptions. For instance, I have been sucked into the wonderful, angsty complexities of McGonagall/Snape, and I've also become quite the McGonagall/Moody convert. (I have a soft spot for Janeway/Paris, too. Call me cougar.) I think my problems with some het pairings come not from the "het" part per se, but from the way the pairings are written. Take McGonagall/Dumbledore, for instance: it can definitely be done well (*waves at Squibstress), but too often, MMAD stories are overly-sentimental or overly-melodramatic or over-loaded with unexamined, even harmful cliches about heterosexual romance, pregnancy, children, and domesticity. The same is true of a lot of Janeway/Chakotay. As for slash, well, since I love women so much, I don't spend much time in the slash pool. But I do dip in the occasional toe. It's often very refreshing. Janeway is someone I see as unrestricted in her sexuality; for her, gender's not an issue when it comes to partners. McGonagall is different, though: as far as I'm concerned, she's a dyke like me. So there. (Still, I'm willing to allow her to stray when she wants to spend a few nights with Snape and Moody. Let's make her a Kinsey 4.75, like me. And an INTJ, also like me. Simplistic, these scales -- I know. But fun.) | |||||||
