Harry/Draco Writing Support

Hello! I read a really interesting article by a gay man writing about how to write gay sex to help slashers out and he had some interesting thoughts on the top/bottom issue. I will try to find the link and come back in a bit and post it here. I also do a lot of academic study on slash as well as reading and writing it myself and I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that there is no specific box we can put slash in (there are arguments for example that it is feminist in objectifying men as opposed to women, it is a queer practice which explores themes of gender confusion (gender fluidity), homosocial desire and so on and there are some arguments around the androgyny of romance in slash exploring writing men as 'feminine' which you might find interesting). However, particularly with HP there is so much breadth and depth to the writing in the fandom, such a broad exploration of different emotions, kinks and so on, it is impossible to compartmentalise into a neat political/social box - as melusinahp says, it is complicated by very individual desires. I am happy to PM you some stuff which explores the kinds of issues raised on an academic level if you like xx
