Re: Foggy = Self-insert?

[(Anonymous)]

but we have fanfic because the show isn't enough. that's why fan fiction exists. lke wtf?

I have never seen the line "well m/m just isn't ever going to happen and so THAT's why there's so much fanfic for it." but I think it's such bullshit and vaguely condescending toward anyone who ships cannon ships regardless of if they are m/f f/f or m/m.

You sound like the people who complain there isn't enough of the ship you prefer.

Its well known that some shows, no matter how good, don't generate fanfic. Because they answer all the questions. There are no 'between the scenes' moments to take advantage of. Ironically, the better the show, the less romance fanfic. Homoerotic subtext that gets turned into slash is rife in shows where there is tease but no payoff.

As for Matt/Foggy, the relationship is closer and longer lasting than any other relationship these two have. I think I'm one of the few people who wrote a sex scene for Matt's wife Milla, and even I ship Matt/Foggy over Matt/female companion of the week.
