Furious has finally gotten its first review. =) Review by Jaydee: Funny, the thought in my mind while I -wrote- it was that someone had told the school about his stash of gay porn. Not the same thing, but close enough. XD Yes, your reaction is quite natural. I think about 75% of the reviews I got for this over at FFN (mind you, 75% is what? 4 reviews or so?) had the same thing. I'm glad you feel it's complete, because that's always the hard part when working with a word-limit. Nah, that's okay. Different communities, different definitions. In this case, it was written for a challenge on one of the many HP forums at FFN, which defined drabble as "below 500 words", if I remember correctly - but I know of the different definitions, which is why I call it a drabble/one-shot. For the FFN forum community I spoke of, this would be too short for a one-shot, for the AFF definition, this would be too long for a drabble. This way, both have a definition they can be alright with. (And one they disagree with, but hey. That's life.) Regarding the messed in the head... possibly, but then again, that goes for me as well. Harry's Poem also got a new review. LadyFireCrab Glad to have been of service. Though I have difficulty imagining how you needed a piece of squid coming out of your nose.

Please no spankings for using necromancy on this thread. I've been writing slash for a long time now and I am female. Honestly, I don't think it's gender that's the problem but inexperience. Especially where it concerns slash writers who read yaoi/shounen-ai manga as gospel. Many of those comics are poor examples of the male perspective as well as sexuality. I think a lot of slash writers need to put down the manga, close their fanfic book marks, and do some research. There is endless amounts of info on the Internet if you look for it. ...and just an addendum for the sake of being ever so slightly snotty and pretentious: Maybe it's not a matter of women not being able to write from a male perspective. Perhaps it's just a matter of not being able to write from any perspective but their own narrow one. When I write, the gender is always secondary to the character's personality.
