A fascinating discussion of bisexuality (or the lack of it) in slash fiction.

Personally, I've always written Jim and Blair as bi. Sam Winchester, too. I'm not sure about the other SPN boys. I wonder, though, if that comes across. I mean, I don't as a rule have characters declare their sexuality. Maybe y'all don't notice they're not technically gay?

A weird thought for me to start the day on.

Let's make it a club, Morgan! (-;

I really enjoy my time in feminist and lesbian circles, but try to explain there why writing TS fanfic, gen or slash, is so much fun... I even thought of myself as weird; why the sudden interest in *men*? You definition 'bisexual by nature, lesbian by choice' totally nails it. Dogma from either side is just wrong, and I'm just glad there are many open-minded folks in fandom.
