What? Don't You Share *Your* Mom's Slash?

[litotease]

Household conversation between me and c8h10n4o2junkie:

Me:  ::Looking at what's open on the browser::  Your reading my from del.icio.us page!
Her:  Yeah.  You have good taste*.  And I haven't read some of these.
Me:  Thanks!  Do you like the Jess warnings?
Her:  There are warnings?
Me:  Only on a few of them.  Big capital letters at the beginning of the notes.  JESS, WARNING.
Her:  Oh my God, I love you.

Because she, you see, doesn't want to read any story, in any fandom, in which her OTP doesn't live happily ever after, thank you very much, no matter how poignant and human and well-written it may be.  I knew she'd get to my del.icio.us eventually, so making sure that the sad slash stories are marked there is me taking care of her as her mother.

*facepalm*  We are so weird.


*Her. Actual. Words.  I don't get that very often. Usually, what I get is, "You're not going to wear that are you?"

Have no kids myself, but I would share mys slash with a daughter. And, weirdest still, I would share slash fic with my mom if she read English. Although she might need to start with the R stuff first and slowly move on to the more colorful ones :D

When I was 11 or something, she was the one that explained the whole concept of subtext to me, as I read The Picture of Dorian Grey.

Go, your Mom!

I always feel so bad for fans who feel they have to actively hide this part of themselves from their families. Or any part of their sexual identity.
