I have deep thoughts, I share them

Do you think Will Smith's ass will be out in the new flick? I hope so. It is a fine ass, made of fineness. I have watched many minutes of I, Robot, waiting for it.

Het. Why is it so hard to write? Because it smacks a little of show-and-tell? I don't know.

I'm watching BET right now. No matter what else you learn in life, always remember this, Trick love the kids.

I actually like het. I've written a lot of Shinji/Asuka, which is the main het pairing of Evangelion, and Sally Po & Wufei of Gundam Wing which has very few fans because usually it's Wufei/Treize. Given the right spin, I also enjoy f/f. I actually see a bit of subtext between a couple of the women on swingtown.

I think it's partly because most of the time the canon het pairing gets to let it all hang on onscreen so there's not much to embellish. (I love Mulder & Scully, Delenn & Sheridan, Sun & Jin but have no compulsion to write them because I'm happy with what I'm getting. I'm also happy with the Winchester brothers for the same reason. ) Also in a lot of stories, the romance isn't treated as THE epic relationship but someone he comes home to after doing his thing so it's a bit boring. The exceptions I list above usually have the woman and man working as partners on the same job/side or at least the woman is very much part of the action, not a DiD.

I agree--there's little reason to write most het pairing on TV because it's right there. Sometimes it's nice to get a little more story, but on the whole it's kind of meh to read--for me. And kind of hard for some reason to write, and keep the distance from the characters that's easy to do with the guys, I think.

The only f/f I enjoy, I mean really enjoy all the way around. is Lana/Chloe--as long as they're handled sympathetically. It's probably the Clexer in me, because if they're happily tied up together, they don't need Clark. *g* I also liked the occasional Buffy/Faith, as long as it was good-humored.
