Okay, my subject line has nothing to do with what I'm going to say, but I've been listening to that mp3 nonstop lately.
I never really understood the reasoning behind labelling *anything* slashy as R or NC-17... like, for example, A Certain Fandom That I Shall Not Name (but it involves seven men and takes place in the Old West). All of the slash, even the stuff that's no more suggestive than mentions of kissing or omgsleepinginthesamebed (not even any sex!), is hidden away in a password-protected archive. Even the majority of personal fic sites in this fandom follow that example, though other "adult" (violent, or het-romance) is more easily accessible.
Sure I like Foreman, but does he have a spaceship? No. Okay - what about a time machine? Can he call up wormholes with the power of his mind?
I'm totally my father's daughter in that I can't really enjoy things that don't have spaceships or aliens or demons or people who live forever.

At Imperial Dominion, our banks are all indoors, so magpies *can't* get in.
