kylaraingressSo, I learned the other day that one of my favorite slash writers when I first found this weird and wonderful aspect of fandom back in the early 2000s. She really had a knack for humor.
As I wrote in the comment on the blog where I found out, she and I had corresponded a few times as I wrote her the occasional positive feedback on her stories she posted to the Slash Writers YahooGroup. Her writing was epically hilarious, except when it wasn’t, if that makes sense? When she went silly, she wrote with an abandon that really said ‘Fuck it’. (I mean, who else out there would write a story that had all the characters Seth Green played have an orgy with each other? And she was the only one I ever read Winnie the Pooh slash and didn’t squick at it.)
It was through an exchange between us where I joked about the ‘Can you hear me now?’ guy from Verizon and the Fox Mulder/FBI knockoff guy from Sprint being in a Romeo & Juliet type relationship that caused her “Commercial Slash” series, which then caused what I still use today as THE definition of a crack pairing: the Hamburger Helper glove and the Arby mitt. (Yes, it ends on the requisite ‘fisting’ joke.)
RIP, Scribe. May you have been greeted by the wild orgy you so epically deserve.
