I did a "find random LJ users" search and the first journal it pulled up belonged to someone who was into Journey - Steve Perry slash. Again, I'm not one to judge, but - hasn't that ship sailed years ago? Are they even still alive? (I Googled it - yes, at least Perry is still kicking around.) At least if she were into Loverboy she could devote paragraphs to describing their tight leather pants. I remember seeing Loverboy videos and noticing that it seemed like the band only owned one pair of leather pants in each color. One video the guy with the curly hair was wearing the red pants and the lead singer had on the black ones...then in another video they seemed to have swapped pants. And, no, I don't want to think about the leather-pants-swapping escapades of Loverboy, thankyouverymuch.

I also remember watching Journey videos and wondering why Steve Perry never seemed to wash his hair. I mainly wanted to see a Duran Duran video, so when I watched MTV I had to spend the time criticizing the other bands.

On the one hand, I have become quite tolerant of fan fic. I've never written any, but I can see why it holds charms for some. Besides, yay for people writing! I think it was put into perspective when I read an argument that said that what Shakpespeare did (taking existing stock stories and making his own plays) could be considered a form of fan fic. In fact, I'm thinking about studying fan fic if I go on to get a comp/rhet PhD. I'm intrigued by the notion of slash, and I have some feminist theories about it.

But that doesn't stop me from being really creeped out by Alton Brown - Harry Potter fan fic. Thankfully it's not sexual in nature (yet) or I'd really flip my lid.
