AO3 mentioned this article on Tumblr, about slash fiction and why we write and read it. I found it really interesting. You can find it here:

To Boldly Go...

What do you think?

This was really interesting. There were parts where I was all "no" and parts where I could see myself, and then some of it I was screaming HALDOOR at the computer!

Thank you for sharing, very very interesting.

Right? I thought the person that wrote it really got what we love about it. Sometimes these articles come off insulting but this one was insightful.

XOXOXO

I'm happy you did, too. These kinds of articles always interest me.

(No offense meant by the icon either... it's just the only other ST I have...)

Great article - will definitely be bookmarking this one.

And yes, nice to see an article like this with no snark to it.

very interesting, and as a couple of the commenters on the article said, it wasn't a 'point and laugh' piece; it was really quite insightful.

And YES, I could see me there somewhere, as Kaige so rightly said! ;-)
