Feminism means liberation. Stop trying to oppress me with it.

I am suddenly hit with the realization that I gave up on Harry Potter not because Sirius Black died. No, I gave up on reading Harry Potter when Sirius Black died; but what made me turn away from the whole series (as in, a total ceasing of interest in all things related to it), in retrospect, was the Harry/Ginny ship. To be fair, I had not read the parts pertaining to it, but I was aware of the fan reactions around me, and they were pretty uniformly bad. As I was not about to read the actual book (see: Sirius Black being dead thing), I kind of had to take other people's words for it.

Incidentally, it's not because of slash. I don't ship Harry with anybody, at all. Never did and probably never will. (Although come think of it, HP gave me a great het couple for the parts that I did read: Ron/Hermione.)

Which leads to a mini rant, actually:

I am SICK of the whole "oh you are against a het-ship/female character because you are being unfair to women" mantra that I keep hearing. No. No. No. No. NO. I don't like YOUR het-ship because it's in conflict with my OTP (which happens het or slash), and I don't like YOUR favorite female character because I find her annoying or downright Mary Sue-ish. I like my het couples and female characters just fine, just not the ones YOU like. So stop making assumptions about me, bitch. —yeah, I went there. I am that mad about it.

There may well be a dearth of likable/strong/_________ female characters in popular media today, and yes that is a problem. But the solution is NOT trying to tell me that I SHOULD like or identify with the more popular candidates (because hey, I must be prejudiced if I don't).

And seriously? It's absolutely ridiculous that I should even feel the need to defend myself and my choices like this.

Feminism means liberation. Stop trying to oppress me with it.

装13不是问题，只要有人买帐

( XQ上面评选装13的那些神奇人士们 )

题外话：《圣容》依旧写得忐忑不安。到现在一万字，看样子没有三万字拿不下来。害怕自己写不完。更担心好不容易写完了却被读者们说“这都是什么啊……？”(因为，那个啥，我的纪录在那里摆着呢……) 因为是真的很喜欢的设定，所以……由爱故生忧了。

每到这种时候，我还是对于自己的写作能力感到绝望。

不过这个坑是要填的，除非T姑娘不干了。我和她合作起来虽然两个人都速度慢(我慢她更慢……orz)，但文字本身风格好歹是差不多。(想起上次和鸢尾试图写《Beloved》的人泪流满面。)合作的一个好处是，你不想写的地方可以交给合作人去写，反之同理。

不过，那个ST/One Piece乱斗什么时候写啊………………
