Degrees of Slash and Degrees of Squick
Mar. 17th, 2004 03:00 pmIt was mentioned in one of my flists LJs today that there isn't enough rough sex in the SG fandom. It makes me wonder why some fandoms are more open to that than others.
For instance, you find a large amount of BDSM related slash for the X-Files, yet there seems to be a far smaller proportion in SG fandom. (Either that, or I haven't found the secret stash yet.)
Are more of the writers from XF fandom less squicked by the whole idea? I've even had an easier time finding those type of fics for TS fandom...and I've just started reading them. Although, I suspect I have found more kindred spirits at this point...for which I'm eternally grateful.
Not a rant, just a pondering. Maybe even a kick to my own muses to see what they can come up with.
