Bed, Bath & Certainly Beyond
A warning: If you are Josh Motherfucking Richardson you probably shouldn't read this post as it goes over a subject that is hardly your favorite.
Reading the Livejournal community Scans Daily you'll soon find that some comic fans never run out of combinations of their favorite characters to "slash." That is to take two characters, most often two males, and infer an erotic relationship between the two of them. Batman and Robin's an obvious one but there are examples of Batman and Superman and Batman and Alfred that could certainly lead to some interesting fan fiction. When I covered Yaoi-Con 2005 I checked out a panel entitled "American Comics Slash" and found out that the X-Men were also pretty popular for slash fans, with Wolverine being a major favorite.
My questions is: why hasn't Johnny Storm/Ben Grimm slash taken off? Look at this people:
Both panels are from Fantastic Four #65. You'd think the constant bickering plus being cooped up in the same place for a long time (they're sharing a bed here folks) would equal some fangirl to declare "squee!" in a slash community. Sadly, the world is deprived of rock monster/flaming person slash.

A techincal question: how do I get an RSS feed for all the blogs I like to read? With blo.gs being down I figured that I don't want to depend on the Comic Weblog Update Page, at least not for a while. I have a LJ friends list where I've put my own blog feed on, is it like that?

Finals are still keeping me busy. After that the holidays will then keep me busy. But after God's birthday I should have some meaty posts, hopefully I'll give you some before then.
