Discussion of bisexual erasure and biphobia in popular LGBT television.

DISCUSSION POST HERE.

For the fact was drugs were not necessary to most of us, because the music, youth, sweaty bodies were enough...We lived for music, we lived for Beauty, and we were poor. But we didn’t care where we were living, or what we had to do during the day to make it possible; eventually, if you waited long enough, you were finally standing before the mirror in that cheap room, looking at your face one last time, like an actor going onstage, before rushing out to walk in the door of that discotheque and see someone like Malone.”

In this post I suggest that comparisons can be drawn between the historical suppression of women's writing and discourses on fanfiction in the mainstream media.  I talk about fan writing as a feminist practice and advocate that in an age of increased consumerism, it is more important than ever that fanfiction remain free.  By remaining not for profit, fanfiction can continue to reclaim and queer popular narratives, subvert the mainstream and keep fandom a safe space for fans and creators.
