May. 21st, 2013 08:07 pmI'd be good with more femdom in the Once fandom. I mean, I realize it isn't the place to go if you're looking for rough/kinky m/m slash. Guy slash *period* is dwindling rapidly due to the hilarious role reversal of men's relationships to each other being minimized or ignored (when they do talk, it's in short scenes that communicate only information needed to move the plot along because no one cares what books they're reading or what they think about the movie they just saw). I would love it if they were trolling misogynist Hollywood writers on purpose but I'm sure it's just sloppy writing that men often don't have scenes alone together and don't seem to actually hang out with the guys that are allegedly their friends). Because the interpersonal relationships angle suffered in general this season compared to last year. There used to be guy slash, but all the ships seem dead and all the intership fighting (which there is apparently a lot of) is about het and femslash pairings.
Anyway, it seems like a fandom perfectly set up for lots of great femdom (of the het kind) but it's surprisingly rare. There are only four on Ao3. And all but one are the same frigging pairing. Not that I really have a problem with that pairing and it *is* a canon couple but it seems like everything's about them- search for another character and you'll get several fics in which your character appears...as their third wheel friend. I like that he's their friend, at least in fanon, I even like that sometimes, there are threesomes, I just... And there's the Cora/Hook-in twisted but consensual D/s thingy (so, basically, canon) abusing a third guy-fic- which is not a bad fic at all but is 1)frozen in mid rape due to not being updated for awhile, and 2)not really what I'm getting at because, rape.
I was thinking more a long the lines of people who enjoy being together. I'll take dub con because it exists in canon anyway, but yeah.
Yeah. This is a show with some really overwhelmingly strong female characters so I would like to see a little more variety in the het fic. Once again, people have joked about it but then they don't write it. Or maybe they do, and I don't know where it is. I don't read much fic on Tumblr, for example, because I think Tumblr is a terrible place for posting fic. It's for sharing photos, news and short posts. Not for long, complicated things that deserve equally long, complicated responses.
