Account of the weekend that was the Con of Win shall happen soon. :D
In the meantime, I offer you two ONTD things:
1.
And finally the gossip sites catch Jensen in Vancouver airport, thereby proving JENSEN ACKLES IS NOT HUMAN. Who the fuck looks like THIS after a flight? Though truth be told, if this is how he looks when he feels like shit, I'm pretty sure sunglasses would be in order for any other time. HOW ARE YOU NOT BLIND, JARED. HOW.
Sidenote: I might've DIED OF LAUGHTER at his :OOOOOO face. That's because I'm an awful person. YAY!

Stephen Marche: Vampires have overwhelmed pop culture because young straight women want to have sex with gay men. Not all young straight women, of course, but many, if not most, of themDear Stephen Marche,
Not exactly. See, women (of ALL ages) get aroused from reading erotica, virtually as much as they do from visual erotic stimulation (i.e. porn and/or ASkars). That's why harlequins are a billion dollar industry, and men don't even bother reading the letters section at Penthouse*. Vampires represent a fantasy sub-genre in which repressed sexual desires are unleashed, fetish or no fetish, while at the same time being restrained. In short, vampires will do you all night, but you'll never have a dream life with them in the morning. That's why a) Edward Cullen is not really a vampire (but RPattz is revered as a sex god to teenaged girls and moms who can't distinguish between him and his character), and b) neither Anita Blake nor Sookie Stackhouse will ever be tied down. Because in their hearts of hearts, they don't actually want to end up with vampires for the rest of their lives.
Another fact you're missing: Homosexual sex to women is as lesbian sex is to men. We think it's hot. Really hot. It may or may not be the reason True Blood has actually played the gay card quite a few times by now.
So, to add it all up: Literary Erotica + gays + sex = SLASH FANFICTION, a 30-year-old phenomenon perpetuated mainly by women. Because we like to read/write/draw our favourite male characters as gay, just as you like to whack off to Angelina Jolie having sex with women onscreen.
But I do think you have a point with Edward Cullen, though, so let's call it, uh, not exactly even, but you have only mostly embarrassed yourself, instead of entirely.
Sniggering,
Moonay
PS: I, in fact, do enjoy watching Angelina Jolie having sex with women onscreen as well. But I'm bisexual, and therefore probably halfway between who you were so dumbly stereotyping, and someone you have absolutely no idea what to think about. Stay pretty, dude.
* I actually got to read the letters to Penthouse section years ago, and I'd like to say that some of the smut fics I've read could make those "letters" pale up, close their buttons and join a monastery in comparison. So there's that.

benitle, because she had a super crappy week, and she needs a little pick-me-up in non-booze form. :)
