When Worlds Collide: Fandom and Male Privilege

Since I found the Fanfic Symposium through Lucy Gillam, it’s appropriate that the first fanfic essay I recommend from there is hers. An interesting consideration of how male privilege affects slash fandom.

DC Comics // Batman/Robin // NC-17

A while ago, this author wrote Family Business: Five Things That Never Happened to Dick Grayson, which I recommended. I loved the third story, Hanging Work, and thought it would make a great jumping-off point for a longer AU.

Well, apparently the author came to realize the same thing, because she’s written a series of stories in that universe. Bruce Wayne doesn’t adopt Dick when his parents are murdered, so eventually, someone else does. Excellent, amazing, fantastic AU. I love it.

I like the third one, Hanging Work, the best, but they’re all so good.

ETA: Hanging Work now has a sequel, which I’ve recommended here.
