I've been thinking about the way we view NP slash fiction, and how we console ourselves with the thought that, on average, it's good and consistently so.
And I was wondering... since we're such a small fandom, with few writers, doesn't that mean that somehow we've imposed 'our' view of 'good' on the fandom (and I'm using a generic 'our' rather than specific), and people from outside the fandom might not see it the same way? That they might have a different definition of what constitutes 'good'. In other words, all newbies who enter into the fandom are indoctrinated into the same thought processes, through the (one) slash list, the (one) chatroom and through AIM?
I'm not saying that people set out with an agenda (because thankfully there are very few who seem determined to impose their views on others and are usually ignored ::g::) or even do it deliberately or consciously but maybe this occuring by some odd form of osmosis. Assimilation, if you will, by Seven of Slash.
::shrug:: Just one of those stray, strange and random thoughts that occur to me in the shower. See, Munchie, it's not all nekkid Daniel. I do occasionally get philosophical ::g::
