====== On Being Queer in Fandom ======

[[http://eumelia.dreamwidth.org/540921.html|This post]] from [[Eumelia|Eumelia]], about how she as a queer fan finds slashfic not complex enough to reflect real-world queer issues, prompted [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/27044.html?thread=118791332#t118791332|a very long thread in mid-January 2012]] with both plenty of substantial discussion and plenty of wank.

Concurrently, [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/27044.html?thread=118813092#t118813092|Gentlefailers discussed]] an [[http://ninteenpointzerofour.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/fangirls-the-fetishization-of-homosexuality-and-authenticity/|older post]] about "the fetishization of homosexuality and 'authenticity.'" Much shorter, with less wank and more serious discussion.
