louiseluxSlash and/or fanfiction gets a strangely garbled mention in the Guardian's guide to pop culture:
"Slash/Fiction
Fantasy online writing in which stars get it on
Imagine C3PO dating R2D2 or what would happen if Amy Winehouse had a fling with Lindsay Lohan.
What to say "Did you know that George Lucas threatens people with legal action if they attempt to write slash/fiction with any Star Wars characters in them?""
Eh what?
***
In other news, Roger Federer's girlfriend Mirka is pregnant. Their child is going to be sickeningly adorable and pretty, and they both seem thrilled to bits with it. There will be much cuteness. In selfish fan terms it's kind of deflating because BABIES. WOE! Real lives getting in the way of my WsIP! I have to rethink everything. I know fanfiction is by its very nature a way of fixing things so they're how we want them, but still. It makes my reaction to writing Roger/Rafa different in ways that, at the moment, I am not even nearly clear-thinking enough to explain.
I'm feeling guilty about my reactions.
In actual tennis news that's not the fantasy in my head, Roger is ending his six week long break from tennis by playing doubles tonight with international jewel thief Yves Allegro. I think it's on somewhere around 1am UK time, so I'll be hunting for a stream. Vamos Rogelio.
