Not only do I have zero desire to consider Lassiter boinking at ALL, Shawn and Gus are just TOO CUTE together. I do NOT understand this Shawn/Lassiter stuff.
It makes me sad.
You notice that hardly any of it is NC-17? Is that weird?
The lack of NC-17 fics? I guess I'm just so used to it- the very first fic I ever read was NC-17, and the vast majority after that. Maybe it is a fandom thing, we all just want Clark and Lex or Tim and Kon to boink non-stop.
I just can't wrap my brain around Shawn/Lassiter. Lassiter isn't even attractive, in my eyes.
Oh I totally agree. I was trying to give the fandom the benefit of the doubt. If I remember my intro into the Smallville fandom I think one of the first stories I read had Lex and Clark going at it in graphic terms and this was week after the start of the show.
Lassiter is just... yuck. Not unattractive I guess. But Shawn as better slash interactions with Gus then he ever has with Lassiter - I just don't ... When I started to look for Psych fic I figured it was just a matter of time before I would be awash with Shawn/Gus. I mean come on best friends always in each others pockets. I don't even really see Shawn/Lassiter (Gah, that leaves such a bad taste in my mouth.)
My first story I read in SV had Clark or Lex sucking the other off in the back of a limo, and maybe some penetration, I can't remember anymore. That was during season 3, though, but I don't recall when the story took place.
I just didn't see any Shawn/Lassiter before I saw the fics, and even after that I didn't really see it. Not the way Shawn and Gus are bestest friends. The fandom seemed to start with Shawn/Gus, though a lot of it was cutesy stuff, but now I can't remember the last one that was posted. Maybe I should try to come up with something to stir things up a bit. NC-17, of course, if I do think of something.
He is just unattractive. don't be afraid to say it. Blargh. I'm shallow, I like my OTP to be attractive and together, Gus and Shawn are. And plus, just picturing Shawn's dad if he found out--HAHAHA!!
Okay, whereever my comment justwent to the Mysterious Comment Graveyard. Fuckin LJ.
Anyhoo, Shawn (it's Shawn is it?) /Lassiter sucks unreal,and I think that it must all be written by little maiden aunts who are afraid of cocoa and think bananas are too suggestive a friut.
Yeah, "Shawn." Not sure why, I had assumed at first it was "Sean," too.
The fandom does seem to have a different sort of fan with it. I can't think of anyone specifically, though I haven't read any of the S/L, either, but so much of the S/G I did read was just so cutesy and fluffy. I guess I'm used to fandoms with more mature writers?
The cutesy fluff can be fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not the same sometimes.
5 fics have Shawn/Gus NC-17, and they're by 3 different authors. *tear*
I really didn't want to think it was that - but honestly there can almost be no other explanation for the lack. I mean Gus and Shawn have been best friends forever, so much so that Gus does stupid things that Shawn tells him to just because Shawn tells him to; an even more perfect example is the Spelling Bee - Gus would have won but (1) he looked to Shawn for spelling when he didn't even want to(never wants to) cheat and (2) Shawn fed him the wrong letter so they would be able to spend the summer together - I mean come on!!! Shawn/Lassiter my ass!
Yeah, there was a lot of discussion of the fear of writing a character of color going around. I don't get it--I don't worry about writing white folks.
People over think this thing too much. Two of the best Gunn writers I know are white. They write the hell out of him. *shakes head* folks are too worried about being PC. and besides, lassiter/shawn is *ooogly*!!!
Sometimes I shy away from writing any character from another culture because I am horrible with any dialect other than my own. But I still don't see how that would be a problem with Gus.
Psych fic has settled on Sean/Lassiter as the OTP Okay, that sound is the sound of me barfing up my Top Ramen. That's just a sin right there. Pure evil. Sean and Lassiter? Why not Sean and Gus? Why are those writers afraid of the coffee & milk love?
Thank you!! Can you picture an uglier pairing??? And Gus is right there, so sweet, so angry, so hopelessly dickwhipped in an adorable way...*shakes head* It's a goofy old world and some people. Tsk.
I don't watch the show. I don't fangirl over it at all. But I have been waiting patiently, very patiently, for people to fall in love with those boys and slash them for me and now you are telling me that they aren't going to? What the hell?

I'm hoping that with the new season people will wake up and feel the Shawn/Gus love.

I wonder if all the little white fangirls out there just couldn't handle writing slash about a black man. Or an interracial relationship.
