a poll about slash and the obscure fandoms that i've had on the brain, asking to be written, of late

[cimorene]

this isn't intended really to determine my policy. i won't make up my mind by what gets the most votes. i'm just curious how far people are with me, here.

The only reason that I said I didn't see the slashiness in Holmes or Jeeves was because the last time I read either of those two was before I discovered slash. I now definitely see it in Holmes, and can see it in Jeeves if I squint, although I personally think Psmith is way slashier.

yeah, psmith was slashy--although i only read the first i think. but then he got a girl, and i did actually LIKE the girl, so.

[kenovay.livejournal.com]

But Psmith didn't get a girl until the last book. In fact, did Mike even get a girl until quite a way in? Anyway, since when has that stopped UST?

[cimness.livejournal.com]

everything is so light-hearted in wodehouse that the amount of UST, even in jeeves and wooster's case, is highly negotiable.

perhaps it was the last book. anyway, it was only one of them. it was a gift.

[kenovay.livejournal.com]

True. :D Since when has that stopped manufactured UST, then.

You probably got given the full edition, maybe? With all of the books in it?

[cimness.livejournal.com]

nope, i was given leave it to psmith. it was meant only as a small sample of extra-jeeves wodehouse. jeeves and wooster are the focus of my fangirling. once i get all of them, i'll probably delve into blandings castle and psmith and all.

Jeeves and Wooster are great, but I have to say I prefer Blandings Castle and Psmith. :D But Wodehouse is a god.

o.0

i suppose if the formula doesn't appeal or if you simply get tired of the reiteration the others would be more attractive. i simply adore the characters, though, and i find the repetition charming.

[kenovay.livejournal.com]

No, no, the formula appeals and I adore the characters. But if I had to decide, I'd choose Psmith. Or Blandings Castle. Or Psmith! Or Blandings Castle!

huh.

funny!
