Guess what, fellow kids? Live long enough and the fanfic you wrote for Yuletide 9 years ago (specifically, the one I still mostly think of as my ace Persephone fic) might also end up getting analyzed and found “imperfectly feminist” in some random American’s honors thesis.
Okay, no, now I’m being mean, it’s not a bad analysis, it’s quite interesting (and mildly unsettling) to read your written-in-a-panic-before-deadline-like-almost-all-my-exchange-fics-ever story getting the academic treatment. I do think it’s a bit - if all you have is a hammer (feminist theory), everything looks like a nail. Lots of talk about women vs the patriarchy and what I thought I was writing was more “queer character, subtype: aro-ace struggling against heteronormative and allonormative expectations”. I mean, close?
Googling the author and finding that she - if I understand correctly what adolescent ed means - seems to be studying to be a high school English teacher does make some of it make more sense.
