Food for Thought

How does better (arguably) queer rep in canon affect your relationship with fandom? Fic still necessary? Just fun now? Still better thought out than lazy shoehorning? Worse than ever? Too many puriteens? Sound off here:

I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself:

Current favourite fandom: still Tolkien. Always Tolkien. Sadly I can’t squeeze ANOTHER presentation out of it. I read a little in the untamed and svsss and bts.

Current OTP (or OT3 etc): Fingon/Maedhros.

Are you having a Renaissance (tm) this year (or every year!): ELVES

Hm. Necessary. Reading fic is like breathing. I don’t really seriously have any western canons with actual gay, though; I feel like the delicate homoerotic subtext of Hugo and (arguably) Tolkien do more than the old school media fandoms, but much less than the current canon gay canons. I like that half-twilight, that soft grey that could also be pink.

I think it’s similar for the untamed: the show leaves enough unsaid and undone that the ground is fertile for fiction. SVSSS is a rare flower, but so many things are unresolved and the whole concept is so delightful that I have imaginative space for reading fic. I DON’T really read any TGCF, though, and I think that’s because it’s mxtx’s most fully imagined and worked-out m/m romance. I don’t need more.

Puriteens... There’s a crop of earnest young twenty somethings in Tolkien and they are sweet, but the things they want and write ring no bells in me, and if I worried about audience reception, they would potentially chill some of mine when writing. But I do not.

I have an idea for something I would like us to discuss and I would like to run the discussion myself: sorry, a blank

I would potentially be willing to moderate a discussion given arysteia is exhausted and labellementeuse (tui_talk) is overseas: sure, moderating discussions is my day job

My dearest, kudos for being Number 2 with a bullet in signups but you didn't answer the meals poll. Are you in town for brunch Fri, I assume yes for dinner Fri and Sun, still here brunch Mon?

Sorry, beloved leader: no to Friday brunch, yes to the rest.
