donna_c_punk link to this post</> on doctorwho, and I was most entertained by the medium-level drama ensuing. I'd forgotten there were fandoms out there where people still vocally freaked out about slash. But maybe that's what I get for playing in almost exclusively Jossverse and anime fandoms for about 4 years.

My favorite comment is down near the bottom, where a self-professed lesbian declares Doctor/Doctor to be gross and wrong, but that she'd love to see some Romana/Romana.

Are they freaked out by the gay or by the idea of the Doctor having sex with himself?

Still, there's no need to get as personal as everyone is getting. All the dude wanted to know was if there was a community where a post like this wouldn't be such an issue.

I think both, depending on the commentor.

Sometimes I forget how sheltered I am within my current fandoms. Sheltered from sexuality wank, I mean. I haven't seen a sexuality wank in ages. Even a relatively young fandom like Avatar is pretty accepting of slash pairings. I guess once you accept that slash fandom happens (whether you're into it or not) you sort of forget that not everyone is as open-minded.

I'm like "Wow, people think the Doctor is asexual? Who knew. You over there, get this! Someone thinks the Doctor is asexual! Isn't that quaint? And oh, hey, this guy thinks slash fanfiction is morally corrupting? Do you really? That's so sad; I had no idea. Would you like some recs to help you get over that feeling?"

And I'm not even all that into slash.

Dang!

Hee. How about some Doctor/Doctor/Romana/Romana?

How many constitute a Doctor orgy?

And what if the Doctor regenerated as a female? (remember reading fic in a zine about that back in the 80s)

Forget all the "Eww, that's wrong wank" ... I want to know why the hell Romana could try on different bodies before settling on Lalla Ward's in "Destiny of the Daleks"?!?! Explain that one to me! (And I know the behind the scenes explanation for - Mary Tamm was very pregnant and couldn't return for a regeneration scene.)
