Perspective

"Riverbella" (2008-09-17)


I enjoyed this article very much, not the least because it clarified some ideas I have entertained myself about the origins of and motivations for "wincest" fic. At the same time, it offered some different perspectives on the subject I had not previously considered. Best of all, it avoided the trap of subjective bias often present in analyses of matters that inevitably involve issues of gender and sexuality. No axes were ground; no political or social agendas advanced. Many of the points of this analysis resonated with me as a fan and fanfic reader
