--- Quote from: Akima on 31 Oct 2010, 19:28 ---Then there's the whole question of why Tai, presumably an Eng. Lit. grad student, would find JKR's laundry-list-dull writing style appealing in the first place... :evil:

I figured she wrote this when she was younger... most of these fics, at least according to stereotype, are written by high schoolers.

There's no set age limit for slash fic writers. Also, as to the whole English lit major? I have a friend who's been writing slash since high school, has gotten both her undergrad and graduate degrees in Literature, and she loves slash AND Harry Potter. Good slash, bad slash, Harry/Draco, Ron/Draco, Harry/Ron, Sirius/Remus (her One True Pair)... You name it, she's slashed it. In fact, most of the more active slashers I've met through Harry Potter fandom ARE or have been English Lit majors.
Mad Cat:
Now that I think about it, dressed like that, Tai does kinda resemble Ron quite a bit. I don't know if that says something about Ron, or Tai.
Oh, and everybody knows, Yaoi is for lesbians and Yuri is for straight dudes. Straight girls just read the originals. Gay boys don't read.
Well, that was enough stereotype stoking for one day. Tah-tah.
Border Reiver:
Harry/whomever slash fics are probably common - I occasionally head over to Topless Robot for the "Fan Fic Fridays" and there are some odd ducks out there.
I'm just waiting for the Beowulf/Grendel slash fic

Knowing the Internet, it HAS to exist already. Most likely written in Old English.
Tergon:
Exactly half of the internet is full of people who write fanfiction. The other half is filled with people who read fanfiction but don't admit it because it's not cool. The former half also has the occasional, rare example of someone who writes something so mind-bendingly obscene that they'll gleefully share it, knowing it will ruin lives simply by existing. If you say you don't know anything about fanfiction, and you're saying it on the internet, YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ANYONE.
...that being said, I heartily approve of Beowulf / Grendel slash. "I will take the beast naked, on his own terms!" Christ, half the work is done for you. And you just KNOW that there's the sequel in which Beowulf hits up that MILF in the cave.
