In a comment on an earlier post, the delightful and talented sydmcginley mentioned an article that confirmed that others shared an interest in m/m fiction, fanbased or otherwise. After a bit of rooting around in the New York Times archive, I think I've found it: Spock Among the Women, by Camille Bacon-Smith.  

I'm fascinated by reasons why women find it so gratifying to write and read gay-themed fiction.  There's been an interesting thread over at thisthingwedo moderated by logophilos, concerning why bisexuality is so little represented in slash fiction and whether slash challenges or perpetuates homophobia.

Sweet dreams, coz.
