I had this pervy dream; and you were there, and you...

I blame fictualities for inspiring me to this.

ILU, M. So. So. Much.

[mollyringwraith]

Good good. I'm glad I'll have someone nice to sit next to in hell. ;)

Ooh, my friend Megan said she actually has a pin of the Scarecrow and his "some people go both ways" quote. Guess the bisexuals cottoned on to that one a while ago ;)

[mollyringle]

Hee hee. That's great! I suppose it *is* pretty obvious, especially in combination with "Come out, come out, wherever you are."

LION: I -- I -- I hope my strength holds out.
TIN MAN: I hope your tail holds out.

Hahahahaha omg omg omg.

Thank you, you've spoiled this movie for me forever.

Luckily I didn't think like this when I was a child...

Dude, you are SO late to the Perving of Oz.

I distinctly remember staring in horrified fascination at a Hustler spread in a campus bookstore, featuring the original Four Travellers. This was in the early 80s. I've nearly recovered.

For a good deal more fun, try Eric Shanower's glorious Oz graphic novels (and since the dear boy is gay as a fruitcake, he did a great pencil sketch of a group of Ozites in an Emerald City gay bar -- the old-marrieds Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, the flaming Jack Pumpkinhead, butch daddies Shaggy Man and Cap'n Bill, and the old queen the Wizard himself.)

Bob Kanefsky wrote a delightful Scarecrow/Tin Woodman slash story, "Friends of Dorothy." It's somewhere on line.

Hah--yeah, I'm not surprised. And I know Oz has been a huge theme in the gay community for ages. But I had to do it anyway.

Plus, the Oz books have some near-fem-slash in them, when you get into the Ozma parts.

[naill_renfro]

Don't forget the transformation of Tip to Ozma, which has made Ozma a transgender icon... And Gregory Maguire has a neat sort of twist on that in Son of a Witch.

[mollyringwraith]

Lordy, I'd forgotten about Ozma spending her childhood as a boy. That raises the eyebrows in modern readers, I'd say...

[headinclouds]

Nah, you'll be fine. It's Alan Moore that will be going to hell. ;)

[mollyringwraith]

Wowsers. He's getting paid for fem-slash fanfic?

[headinclouds]

Apparently so. Although probably not very much, since its release date in the UK has been repeatedly put back, and apparently lots of places (not terribly suprisingly) in the US are refusing to stock it.

[mollyringwraith]

No problem. Hope your memory can be restored someday!
