[the 'post-gay generation']

Man, Stuyvesant HS isn't what it used to be. I saw this article in New York magazine and was pretty surprised to realize I knew people like that-- I mean, it's not just the 'cool kids' in the uber-liberal NYC gifted-kids High School-- it's like, um, normal geeks too. Being all "polysexual, ambisexual, pansexual, pansensual, polyfide, bi-curious, bi-queer, fluid, metroflexible, heteroflexible, heterosexual with lesbian tendencies—or, as Alair puts it, 'just sexual.'"

I wish I could get some sort of new way to write femslash out of it-- or better yet, boyslash (boys kissing for girls, or because, 'why not', or like, whatever, though I thought it was interesting one guy said guys don't do it as much 'cause it's more of a 'physical commitment' once you get to a certain point). I just totally dig on this:
    It’s not like, Oh, I’m going to hit on her now. It’s just kind of like, you come up to a friend, you grab their ass. . . It’s just, like, our way of saying hello.
    Of course, this seems more suited for ficcing actor RPS or something more than anything -.-

...also, the blond guy so looks like my angsty!Draco :P

Haha, I totally thought of you while I read it (at the dentist's office...). I like the idea of an AU, though!! Heee it's just great to think that everyone hooking up with their friends/acquaintances doesn't have to be over-the-top kink/hooker role-playing stuff or whatever. Um :> The other problem's that fanfic generally explores relationships rather than semi-random hook-ups ^^;;; But I like the circle-of-friends relationship being like, stronger than the romantic/sexual stuff. That's interesting too.

'Course, in Stuyvesant, the other kids aren't like, stupid and carrying knives to school and sleeping in all the classes, so maybe it's more fun to have cuddle puddles with them :>

Haha WOW I just realized that was actually my experience, more or less, with my last group of friends. Okay! I am totally qualified to write that now, obviously. It would certainly be different, but hmm. I'm inclined to think that fandom could use something different, every now and again. I must ponder this further.

It would totally also work as a spin-off of our 'verse, what with Theo & Zach & Pansy & Ginny and stuff~:)) *is not partisan at all, clearly* :>
