Possibly something for K/Sers and other slash fans in my flist:

Fanthropology: Penley and K/S Slash (seen via metafandom)

Meta stuff.

An article about the original content of "smarm" (link courtesy to catalenamara in a meta discussion somewhere).

The article contains some valuable insights into gen people who still want a deep connection between the characters (including physical stuff, yes, I'm thinking of G.D. right now ;)

But this is IMO wrong: "People who are slash fans readily admit that they are fans of slash itself, not of any particular set of characters." My experience in fandom looks different. And this particular idea I heard more often from OTP fans who just can't get it why anyone would be into another slash pairing as they are....*slight sigh*

.oOmetafandom eats my life this morning. But the meeting is prepared...
