Monika:
I had an interesting conversation today with a friend about fan fiction. Something I´ve noticed since I started reading, is that the way I think of men has changed some. Or to be more specific, the words I think to describe them. I used to think of men being gorgeous, handsome, good-looking and hot. Now, I often find myself thinking "beautiful". I didn´t use to of men as "beautiful" before. My theory is that often in fan fiction (which is mostly written by women, in any case in the fandoms I´ve been involved in - Buffy and BBM) the men are the objects and the ones being looked at. Traditionally in literature, it´s the other way around; women who are looked at, women are the ones being objectified.
This might be one of the reasons why there seems to be many more women than men involved in fan fiction; it offers a different perspective and does not objectify women. This is of course not a new theory per se, it can be found in various analysis of fan fiction, but I hadn´t put in connection with my changed view of men before. I like it. It´s refreshing.
