I enjoyed reading your essays here. And THIS was the sort of thing I was looking for when I originally wrote that post. I seriously JUST wanted to understand what genderswap writers were doing with the characters, what their thought-processes were, and what inspired them to write. Of course, when I originally wrote that post, I was drugged out on heavy doses of painkillers (prescription, short-term), and exhausted from having been in a lot of pain at the time, and let's just say I didn't even foresee how the question I posed, which had been intended as straightforward and innocent, inspired a total shit-storm in the comments.
As a result of that post, I actually went and read a bunch of genderswap fics on recs from people, and enjoyed quite a few of them. And I did get a quite a bit of insight into why people write them. But I wasn't able to deal with the shit-storm of angry comments that I got from people, some of whom came only to slam genderswap (which wasn't what I wanted), and some of whom came to attack me as if I was intending to attack all genderswap readers/writers (which was also NOT my intent). Apparently, on LJ... ask a simple question... ignite WWIII.
So, I apologize, but I f-locked the post. I don't want or need another shit-storm.
