Hmmm...

There are two things (well, a hell of a lot more that two, really...) that I don't understand--lol cats and Sam-is-a-girl stories.

Why is Sam a girl? What for is he female? Because number one--that's one ugly broad. Number two--why??? Explain to me, and I might read those stories. Right now, they just scare me. I can read a limited amount of Lex-in-a-skirt, but gender change stories...not too much.

And the cats just freak me out. There, I said it. They make me all ew and grumpy. But I must admit, inanimate objects with personality can make me laugh. And fish, and other non-fluffy animals. Somehow, it's just cats and dogs I don't like all that much. (as in hell no)


The world was so much simpler when I was a girl.

'So-and-so is really/seekritly a girl' stories (not including generswap for humor purposes) always seem to me to be either:

1. self-insert or mary sue
2. writing the popular otp without having to touch teh ghey

In case 1, the girlified character is OOC and might as well be an OC. In case 2.. if they're IC, girlification doesn't add anything to the story so what the hell's the point? So I just don't read them at all. :p

Well, I'm not sure--maybe self-insert, but I'm thinking it'd be hard to get away with it! Most of the writers I see doing it I know are good writers--some have come from other fandoms, BuffY I think, and those writers were always pretty wild. SV is almost conservative compared to SpN or Buffy, or from what I understand--SGA, lol!

I really suspect it's what's been said before--maybe the incest seems not quite as bad if it's not boys? And still, and most importantly in my mind is Sam=dorky looking girl.
