/post break /yeah. I break wordcount. That's me, people. Deal with it
I was wondering earlier WHY I'd gotten that annoyed at finding no Clara/River… But I think I've figured it out now—came out of the typing a few paragraphs about fandom's reactions ;) I've always been pretty bothered by people taking two canon-straight characters and throwing them together because why the hell not! That's a long debate, but to sum it up, if you're about to change a character's sexuality, fair enough, bisexuality exists—just please, PLEASE acknowledge the huge change with its consequences on the character! One doesn't switch from straight to gay and back again like they might change clothes. But still people just don't seem to care. I like CANON gay ships, and especially since I'm rather DW-new and Harry Potter used to be my main niche… there was little of that. Here I'm very tempted by a ship that's not canon, but for which we have firm hints that both girls have more or less pronounced bi tendancies. AND to top things off, I can't really write it myself, because my character-continuity compass screeches "RIVER WOULDN'T NOT WITH A COMPANION NEVER" everytime I approach the idea with a very long stick. (*headdesk at the self-inflicted innuendo*) I look it up, and find nothing—subconsciously, I probably thought "is the universe against me???" Here. I'm sure you girls are terribly fascinated to find out why I threw a little inner fit over no Clara/River… And now I'm nowhere close to done replying to everyone's comments and I'm vaguely starting to remember I was planning to start typing tonight one of the five fics that are sitting mournfully on my notebook (one of which involves Clara/River heavy flirtiness because if it's as far as I can go, I'll sure as hell do it and I OFFICIALLY DON'T CARE IF IT TURNS AU/INCEST LATER! JUST YOU LOOK AT THAT REBEL). Hopefully the others won't think I'm too being dreadfully rude! And hopefully no one will think I'm sounding a little bit too damn HYPER. Oops. Okay. Better send post before I attempt to reread this and some serious headdesking begins.
