idek man. like, if I do write that Xavi/Emili fic I don't expect you to read it, but I don't think you not wanting to read it means that I shouldn't write it, you know? everybody has their own lines, and I respect that. I'm just uncomfortable with the idea of drawing them for other people. it gets way too arbitrary way too fast. what if it's a positive portrayal? what if it's only rated PG? what if it's gen? what if...? in my ideal world people wouldn't write rapefic about characters they hate but I don't contest their right to put it on the internet; I just don't read it. (and probably bitch in private to a friend if I see it, because I never claimed to be perfect.)
(word on the Marvel fandom, sigh. PEPPER IS AWESOME YOU FOOLS. did you see the Pepper/Tony/Steve fic I recced a while back? FEELINGS.)
Kickette is a complex issue--I wholeheartedly agree that the comments section is its own level of hell, and I often feel like the writers choose to pander to the attitudes of their most extreme fans--but like I said, I'm glad it exists. sure, most of it is shoes and boobs and half-naked dudes, but I'm interested in that stuff, and I sure as hell can't get it from Zonal Marking. it's not perfect but I can filter out the commentary I disagree with a lot more easily than I can aggregate everything I'm interested in on my own. and credit where it's due: Kickette was the only voice I remember sticking up for Sara Carbonero's right to do her job while Madrid was trying to shut her up and Madrid fans were blaming her for a dressing room split. sometimes they get it right.
you know, it's funny, my first reaction was a knee-jerk no they don't I checked that and I went back and reread the rules just to be sure: we are reading the exact same rule in a different way, go figure! I would take "not solely related to players' family members" to mean that you can't write about, idk, Sergio Ramos' sister hooking up with Iker Casillas' brother, but given that I've seen fic about Sergio Ramos himself hooking up with Iker Casillas' brother (he plays in the third division, I think we can confidently assert that he's only famous because of his brother) I would assume that so long as one person in the pairing is fbslash-worthy you're fine. we need a lawyer to work out some of these rule interpretations though. XD and dude, I fully respect the right of fbslash to be whatever it is and stick to their own rules! I just wish they'd change the rules to reflect what's going on in the comm. gen does get posted there and nobody complains because where do you draw the line between friendship fic and G-rated preslash? but you can't pass het off as anything but het because it's got a girl in it. so, given that fbslash has become a defacto comm for slash and gen, I would love for it to become a comm for any and all football fic, but I know perfectly well that my wishing is just wishing and ain't nobody got to listen to me! I just like to talk.
