~~Corrupting~~ Educating the Innocent XXVIII

Sister:I don't get why you enjoy slash.
Swatkat: What's not to like? You like Sirius, yes? You like Remus, yes? There you go, Sirius/Remus!
Sister: But they aren't gay!
Swatkat: No, bisexual.
Sister: But it doesn't *say* so in the books!
Swatkat: Oh, and it says about Buffy/Faith? Didn't you watch the vid with me? (note: she was entranced by this B/F vid, "I had *no* idea!")
Sister: Well...
Swatkat: You see, a good author can make *any* pairing work. Even Hermione and Dumbledore.
Sister: *thinks* Do people pair Hermione with Filch?

fannish5 Five discussions I’ve never had, and would love to:

1.Why we mock
2.Why femslash
3.What we mean when we say that we ‘identify’ with a certain character
4.Is there a certain pattern about the characters we fall in love with in different fandoms?
5. Writing evil characters

You scored as The Cheshire Cat. Congratulations! You're the only character in Wonderland who has sense enough to bow out when the going gets rough.
