Phases! That's a good word, too. I find the way 'current' history and social norms affect, or are infused, in our writing. When one in the 2000's tries to write as if they were in the 70's, can they make it work? Everything about that piece would have to be researched. The sentence structure, grammar, construction, not to mention society as it was then, words that were in vogue, attitudes that were in vogue, in that particular era *and* area.
Thank-you for all the lovely author recs, and links. I can see that I am going to be living Pros for 'at least' a couple of months.
I, seriously, had I known of fandom, would have been involved in Starsky & Hutch slash from the get go. Not to mention Kirk/Spock. I just had no names for what I was feeling/wanting. I feel a bit cheated that I missed out on Pros when it was new. I'll make up for it. :-P
