qaf and the wonderousness of Daphne
Thinking about Daphne is doing something weird to me.
I want to slash her.
Be aware that in my fannish history, I've done femmeslash a total of *twice*, and let's all face it Voyager fans, Janeway and Seven are about as OTP as they come if they could penetrate through *my* sheer lack of slash goggles at the time I was in the fandom.
Yet here I am, looking at Daphne, thinking, hmm.
I partially blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soundczech for this, and julad, because I'm starting to carry a little torch for the girl.
See, because I can see this for her as experimental at very least. Her best friend's gay, he's seeped in the culture and the mythology of Liberty Ave, and she's constantly exposed to the reality and the stereotypes. She and Justin went to Babylon together for the first time. There's a really good chance she's his only straight friend that isn't a blood relation or part of his Liberty family. He tells her almost everything. She's like Michael, but with the sex and crush gotten rid of early on so they can go from there without issues. And also, without the whining. She was beside Justin through the nightmare that was St. James, was there at his prom with him, was there when he was recovering his memories. They had sleepovers together (and anyone but me think, huh, seventeen year olds having sleepovers that the parents are okay with? Don't tell me the gay was a surprise). They live together now. So...hmm.
So it wouldn't be a huge jump for her to think about it, even if at first it's just in theory. Maybe laughing off getting hit on at the GLC one night, but sort of wondering about it the next day. Maybe she goes clubbing with Justin when Brian's out one night and does hits with him in the bathroom and there's this girl that's checking her out. And usually, she'd laugh it off, but tonight, she's feeling reckless and what if'ish. She's only nineteen.
It could totally happen.

*pokes* Daphne *deserves* it. She *does*. Dont' you feel it's your duty? You know, to the fandom. To poor, underrepresented Daphne.

From:Maybe I'll come over, but I got so damned annoyed at season 2 when I was taping it off Showtime that I stopped, which is why I couldn't send you all of season 2. *g* But maybe having all the episodes and being able to watch them without waiting would be a Good Thing... Must think on this.
Thank you for wanting me in your new fandom in any way. That makes me happy. :-D

From:Yeah, I was very much thinking that.
The femslash sounds good. Daphne's exposition-girl 90% of the time, so it would be nice for her to get some hot gay sex of her very own.

From:This just had me sputter all over my keyboard. What a mess.
Um, same here just without the writing. Even I saw it, and I was up till my nose, um forehead - okay fine, my head was actually underwater - drowned in PT stories. Slash, what slash?
And Daphne. I'd love to see her slashed, not because I'm much for femslash but I always loved her character. I don't think it's too far-fetched, either. I mean the girl asked her gay best friend to sleep with her. I can see her trying it at least once just for the heck of it.

From:Me too. Drowned in P/T, but still staring at the Janeway/Seven going, whoa.

Absolutely. Especially with her exposure, she'd at very minimum be curious about it.

From:There are lots of good rec pages, this one is just mine. The Refugee Board also has a great recs thread, or so I've heard. And go to
*grins* All of London's fic is good--seh has five stories on her site. anything by any QaF person on my friendlist is good. And some others--you'll see.
Yay! Come to teh dark side. We're *fun*. And we slash canoical!
Justin and Brian--theirloveissotextualcanony!

From:Also (she asked carefully) do you know of any places one could perhaps find QaF RPS? If the very words are fire to thine ears, just let me know...a lot of people hate the idea of real-people slash, and I don't want to sow annoyance on my friendslist. But if you have any recs or know anyone who might, that'd be great.

From:Honestly, I don't know. I haven't seen any, but that doesn't mean much, since I'm still finding the QaF stuff on LJ by inches. If I run across any, will totally remember to forward you links.
Come to usss. We are pretty and make good fic. And also, have Brian.

From:Hmm. Non-trad is hard to find, actually, but Across the Pond (http://www.qaf-fic.com) is the most complete I've seen.
Hmm. You know, those are the only two I can think of. On the main page of my LJ are links to the QaF forums I know of. Those are good places if you want to maybe make requests on finding fic.
That help?
And trust me, you, darling, are *never* a bother. *hugs*
