So, I was thinking today about slash in general and how easy we have it today (LJ, e-mail, Internet) compared to the old skool fandoms like Star Trek and Starsky & Hutch, which had to pimp their stuff in three feet of snow going uphill in both directions. They had it rough no doubt, but then I was thinking about the real back in the day slashers and how rough it must have been for them, because you know when Pride and Prejudice came out back in 1813 there had to be at least two women in the world who thought Darcy and Bingley were having at it in Netherfield. I mean c'mon look at the name of the house, Netherfield, people? More like Large Shack O'Love.

What? Don't tell me you don't see it.

Also, Entourage fans (all eight of us) dammitcarl made us a community! the_guesthouse. Run, fly, drive like Drama and Turtle trying to get laid!

*snerk* And hell, what about Charlotte and Lizzie? Or is the most recent production clouding my brain again? :)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Dude, no way! Charlotte was a *huge* honking dyke. It's right there in the text, man. It's obvious.

No, dude, you are not alone.

I want to see this damn show.

I am counting the days until I move back into my happy, shiny apartment with the free cable and finally get HBO and Showtime again. I missed all the good shit this summer.

Correction, you NEED to see this damn show. So you can coax Eric/Vince fic out of me at 1 a.m. And so we can yell at Samaire for getting to kiss all the cute boys at Vince and Eric to make out.

You would think a shorter comment would make it less likely for me to mispell a word, but apparently not. Anyhoo, the show is Teh Craic! Really.

It's posts like these that make me love you...and hate you...because snorting water out your nose is SO NOT PRETTY.

One of these days, I'm gonna write some Entourage slash. Yes I will. Because it's THERE.

I'm still waiting for someone to write me some sprawling, ginormous, porntastic Colonel Fitzwilliam/OMC slash.

I'm just saying.

screaming until i die here, thanks.

Darcy and Bingley were having at it in Netherfield. I mean c'mon look at the name of the house, Netherfield, people? i think this every day. the belief in this statement is the first entry in my RuleBook. Darcy so surly and proud and cold! Bingley so friendly and, er, laughingly cajoling his friend into bed.

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's how it happened. And Darcy was willing because he loved Charles and because he didn't want to sleep with any woman he wouldn't marry and he hadn't found her yet - and Caroline (one does wonder if Mr and Miss Bingley were twins) was certainly not her.

And Darcy was so jealous of Bingley and Jane that he ignored his own feelings towards Elizabeth. And both sisters turn a blind eye to their husbands' time together. Elizabeth, especially, understands that she is married to an aristocrat, however untitled.

Yeah, what you guys said ;)

ye old conventions.

[stphjay.livejournal.com]

I can just see ladies in bustles pimping mimeographed ye old 'zines with Darcy/Bingley and Rochester/St. John. hee.

[corinna-5.livejournal.com]

I shall never read Austen the same way again. Uh, thanks?

You know I'm just here to help the cause ;)

Damn you! I just spit coffee onto my keyboard... : P

[acroamatica.livejournal.com]

Dude. *scrubs brain* Why did this not occur to me before now? So wrong, but oh, so right. Is there fic, do you know?

I must use this icon in honor of your perceptiveness.

You know, the corset sure was a hinderence in sitting comfortably whilst cranking out neatly-penned copies of the latest 'zine. And postage! Why, my dear father had to frank so many packages to sundry London address that he swore I would bankrupt him.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Just think about what it was like to labour over a story for days, weeks, months and then have to wait like days for the beta to be sent and done and then come back by *post*, and then have to labour all over again and do another copy by hand with a quill and ink. All that parchment. God, it must've taken years to put zines together.
