Dec. 1st, 2003 05:04 pmI'm looking for Relena-centric fics. And NOT necessarily Relena/anyone fanfics. I'm starting to resent those along with the Relena-bashing, there's an orgy of Relena-with-your-favourite-female/male-character. All romance. All nice. But where's RELENA? Sure, the occasional well-written Heero/Relena fics are excellent. I adore Relena/Wufei, Relena/Dorothy, Relena/Duo, Relena/Trowa... but I sometimes just want to see a fanfic, well-written, with an absorbing story...
And no romance.
*cries*
I have yet to read one, and I'm too scatter-brained to be able to finish any long-type fic. Those who read "Scars" and "Symphonie" will attest to this. -_-;;
I wouldn't mind romance if that was just a subplot of sorts. I wouldn't mind a story that has Heero and Duo together, but Relena as the central character and NOT a bitch. I wouldn't mind reading Relena and Sally discussing female pride and the troubles of having a pussy in a penis-ruled world. And I would like to read it without me being the one to write it. *cries... again*
Yah.
Maybe it's the misogyny I see so much of in slash fanfiction. *shrugs*
Going back to the Fifth Book of HP...
WHERE DID CHO CHANG GO? Where did strong, independent Cho Chang go? Why has she been replaced? Why does she automatically become entirely defined through Cedric's death? Through the death of 'her man'? WHERE DID GINNY GO? Why did she suddenly go from young, blushing, enthusiastic Ginny to suddenly-Weasleymale-like-Ginny? Where did the awkward adolescence go? And WHY? Why are all the female professors described as severe, dumpy, round, short, old, or just plain bat-crazy? Why is the two opposite females either a 'cow' or a 'fussy know-it-all'? And why do they call EACH OTHER those names?
Why are Parvarti and Lavender shown as such idolent characters? And what's wrong with Divination? Why is academia so much more respected when the majority of the world (because, hey, those who attend Hogwarts are pretty much elite. There's probably many who can't afford it because wands and books and robes and everything costs MONEY! Weasley's? They aren't poor compared to far too many!) cannot read ENGLISH, let alone academic works.
... yeah, another hard day in my Women's Lit class. The Prof is HARD. And SCARY. And INCREDIBLE. Everyone person, regardless of anything, needs to take a class with a professor like that.
And no romance.
