See what I started?

Long, epic, probably destined to be legendary, Whedonesque thread about slash.

And Joss being Joss decides to have chip in with his thoughts.

Meanwhile slash fans of all types seem to be looking in. Trust me, I've seen the referrals.

Good job of starting the wankfest early this year!

And even getting Joss to chime in (and make me have to come up with a cover story for why I cracked up at #3-- I blame a lot of things on Tasmanian boys.

yep, I've been following the thread, it's fascinating!
I actually just bought the last 3 seasons of Angel on DVD last week and still needed to listen to the commentary for "A hole in the world." So that's exactly what I did just now, and OMG, they totally did it, didn't they. I squeed a little, I think.

Ahem, just, great, great thread. Good one, Simon!

Btw; don't know if anyone here watches VM, but did you read about the Weevil/Logan Hoyay moment at the Marsathon in Austin last weekend? Rob Thomas actually shouted Hoyay after showing a certain clip of a Weevil/Logan scene. Lots of fangirl squeeing ensued, and a lot of W/L badfic will undoubtably follow. W/L should be in that top 15.

Yep, Slash, I'm personally all for it!

What? No Magneto/Xavier on the list?! Bah!

Im a little surprised at some of the reactions, and how offended some seem to be at the very thought of it, I was especially agog at this statement from one

The heroes don't bugger each other in my world

I never, ever, saw anyting like this at the ASSB where slash was never a taboo, and while I of course knew people for whom it doesn't float their boat, I never saw any hostility to it, seems I was living a sheltered life.
