Things I am not posting about this week:
1. Brexit
2. Guardian fandom, slash as an abstract concept, and the difference between queercoding, queerbaiting, representation and tokenism, and how that has played out across media and cultures in the last twenty-five years
3. The difficulty inherent in switching constantly between Guardian liveblogs and Guardian episode recaps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
4. How it looks like I'm going to end up having to dig out my old Mike Gravel for President merch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5. The difference between historical fashion and historical clothing and why it gets my goat when people erase the difference
6. My current project, inspired by the search tips post, of going through my entire 600 pages of logged-in AO3 history to bookmark and tag stuff I want to hang on to
I am not writing posts about them, but feel free to ask me anyway, the rants are on tap.
I did, however, post to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fictional_fans about what types of fanfic are good for readers who don't know the canon, so you should go there to talk about that.

Once you get into openly canonically queer characters I think you get off the queerbait vs. queercode question and run into a whole different gamut of issues, 'killing your queers' being the most obviously visible, but there's also another whole spectrum between bad tokenism and actual good representation.

YES, definitely.
