Ranting about classic lit

You know how I am the ultimate canon hor, right? If it's in canon, I'll like it OK, shipwise.

EXCEPT.

WTF.

lesbiassparrow reminded me. WTF. Little Women. Why on earth did Jo and Laurie not end up together? Is there anyone out there who ships Jo/Bauer? Seriously. A friend of mine literally threw her book across the room when she got to that point.

Also, Mansfield Park. When I was younger, I even wrote Henry/Fanny fic. Edmund+Fanny are total priggish incest. Though they can preach at each other all day long. Yikes. Come on, Henry is the only one with a sense of humor in that book. I sort of get how Spike/Buffy shippers felt now.

If she had written it differently I might not have minded - made it a mutual love-you-but-not-in-that-way kind of thing (like Yuki & Tohru). But having Teddy heartbroken just pissed me off to no end.


Oh, exactly. (The Yuki/Tohru comparison is spot on). Just the way she did it. *flails*
