Character Interpretation In Fanfiction Varies So Wildly Based On Whether The Ship Is Slash Or Het. Like

character interpretation in fanfiction varies so wildly based on whether the ship is slash or het. like if i read anything drarry, you can bet half the time draco’s going to be described as pretty and epicene, and probably poncy af, whereas in dramione he’s going to be, like, manly and sexy and cocky. and while i’m not really criticizing this, i do think it shows something interesting about how we code queer vs. straight characters.

I have been waiting all year to post this.

Dumbledore: You must understand, Harry, Professor Snape had a very terrible childhood.

Harry: I understand. I’m having a very terrible childhood right now.

Published erotica: terribly written, costs money

Fanfiction on ao3: Free, isn’t affaid TO JUST USE THE WORD ‘COCK’ FFS

whoop there it is.
