I was standing in the bathroom, inhaling cough syrup (not a minute after having just flushed the toilet with a jug of water-- how charming it is that our toilet pipe is broken), when a thought occured to me that freaked me out profoundly for the briefest moment:
OMG, what if people are writing Eddie/Roland slash?!?!
You know, in the years since I discovered that fans often wrote yaoi or yuri or slash fanfic for characters that weren't canonically homosexual-- all after I read the second Dark Tower book--- that never once occured to me. It seems as obvious an "unconvential canon pairing" for fanfic as Sam/Frodo or Aragorn/Legolas, and it hadn't even occurred to me before. Probably because looking for Dark Tower fanfic had never occured to me before this year. Still haven't done that, either.
Then I shrugged and thought, Whatever.
