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.

When I write a male character into female, I'm not trying to eek away from gay issues, as has been suggested. It's just an area to be explored

See? This is why I like to ask these kind of questions from time to time. I have to say, it didn't occur to me that there were valid reasons for writing the males as females. My responses were flippant because that's my default mode. But I can understand that exploring the character in different ways is interesting, fun and maybe even enlightening! I mentioned before my issues with being a girl--mostly a generational thing, I think--that colors my perception of these stories. But, the impulse to write those types of fics probably comes from the same place I trot out these AUs of mine. The Big What If. *G*

Aaaand you know my stand on M-pregs. Few, far between, and only reading those by people I love, no matter how logical the point you make.

However I stand firm on my belief that Sam=Big Ugly Girl.

Just like Clark or Bruce. Lex, we *know* could get away with it!

:P

LOL! Okay, we do have proof that Lex would look kind of cute as a girl. :)

Hee! You never watched Velvet Goldmine? He has sex with Ewan 'Obi-Wan' McGregor on a rooftop!

:D

Oh Roxy, you'd adore Velvet Goldmine! It's a fictionalised story about David Bowie. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers plays Brian Slade (the Bowie-alike), Ewan McGregor plays Curt Wild (a combination of Iggy Pop and Lou Reed though he looks like a less skinny Iggy) and the Bale plays a reporter trying to find out what happened to Brian Slade. Plus Toni Collette plays the Angela Bowie character and she's amazing. There's also a very pretty man named Micko Westmoreland who plays the character I can't remember dammit and Emily Woof as Brian's secretary and Eddie Izzard as Brian's manager and it's a really trippy and interesting movie and there's boykissing all over the place and more boysexing than Torchwood!
