I should have guessed it, I suppose.

That there would be Firefly fanfic? Obvious.

That there would be Firefly slash? Well, dur.

But that the most common pairing would be Jayne/Simon?

My eyes! My brain! Argh!

As the Firefly quiz I once saw asked:

- Who is your favourite character?
- Who is your favourite character who is not Jayne?

After that it's just a question of where to look for the best angst and contrast :-)

I'm just boggling at you being surprised by this.

[reynardo.livejournal.com]

I was expecting much more Kaylee/Inara

[verylisa.livejournal.com]

But where's the tension? They'd just be happy woobies together. Pretty, but not much of a story.

Hey, I'm still recovering from the idea of Wesley/Worf fanfic meself. Compared to that, I don't know why everyone kvetches so much about the horrors of Absolutely Fabulous/Farscape fanfic: Edie/Pilot fanfic's already been done.

Hey, I'm still recovering from the idea of Wesley/Worf fanfic meself.

Is that Wesley Crusher, or Wesley from Buffy?

[sclerotic-rings.livejournal.com]

To quote one of the great philosophers of the Twentieth Century, "AAAAAAAAH! This sucks! Change it, Butt-Head! Change it! AAAAAAAAH!"

[manna]

Okay. Um...

...Wesley/Worf/Wesley threesome?

Oh gods... I gotta read this. wherewherewhere?!?!?!

c'mon, we all know I'm a sick puppy *cackle*.

[verylisa.livejournal.com]

jayne_simon is a good place to start.

[asheraa.livejournal.com]

Oh gods, there's a whole community... and some of it is actually not too bad *cringe*... *hangs head in shame*

Nice to see another devilbunny, though surely from a different context

[asheraa.livejournal.com]

I have heard rumour that there was another devil bunny around. :-)
I got this avatar from icon_goddess. No idea where she got the idea from... Kinda fits though lol

[djfiggy.livejournal.com]

I'm sure Rey would be able to tell you everything you need to know about it. :)

[asheraa.livejournal.com]

Hmm, shall have to do sone enquiring... hopefully be seeing her this weekend :-)

[quatranoctal.livejournal.com]

I'm actually not hugely surprised either. Modern slash pairings seem to be heavily modelled on the seme/uke model of yaoi - roughly speaking, the Dom/sub. I know Simon isn't 100% submissive, but I'll bet in a large number of those fics he is.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

But of course. The Slasher Subtext Brigade's Logic dictates that barely concealed disdain on both sides means Luv! Or at least that's what I gathered from all the references to Harry/Draco slash on metaquotes.

(Or, if they are snarky like me, they can see the inherent humor. But I doubt if all writers of that particular little subgenre are.)
