uhm. I think I'd be too shy without other fic to bury mine in: I'm a non-native speaker and I'd never be able to reproduce the fierceness that comes out of Raven's mouth (*LOVE*.) I've also a tough pairing nut to crack: if any fic comes out of me, it shall be Raven/Shannel... *hides*
As for Morgan and Raven, *goes off for mop as there's now a puddle of drool on the floor*
Raven/Shannel are sort of -- the same person! Almost! But that would be hilarious (also, terrifying). Apparently next week is Raven and Shannel (and Jujubee) mentoring RuPaul's actual sisters. So maybe (hopefully) that will inspire you :)
I can't speak for anyone else, but the thought of slash fanfiction for this has never really crossed my mind. Most of the queens seem to have partners in real life, and with the ones we've heard about who are also drag queens (like Sahara, off the top of my head) are not into ki-ki. Also, I can count on one hand the number of queens who have actually seemed to like each other that way; mostly there were just friendships or rivalries.
Let's see...there was Akashia's crush on Jade in Season 1, and that brief, alleged one-sided moment between Tyra and Tatianna in Season 2. And that appears to be it. I could believe in a one-night stand between Raven and Shannel, though, so feel free to have at it. But Morgan/Raven? That's weird and incesty in a bad way; they're like sisters.
I've thought that it would be awesome to have Ru-themed crackfic. Such as Ru/unicorns G-rated fic. You know, RuPaul gets upset that the drag queens are being so bitchy so goes to visit her people (unicorns, obviously) in the land from whence she originally came. Or a Drag Race/ Leverage crime investigation crossover, idk.
[But in terms of pairings? I'd read Henry Rollins/ Pandora Boxx or Mike Ruiz/someone in a second]
Ooh Morgan + Sonique! Apparently Morgan sort of calls herself a lesbian so, yeah. Makes sense.
Aw, Nicole. I liked her. And yeah she did, pretty openly. Raven's mention of her in the vid up there ^ cracked me up because she just couldn't (be bothered to?) come up with a reason.
... Raven/Nicole would be bad angst-drama. I really imagine myself going T____________T in a big time -- and really liking it if it's done well (read: if someone other than me did it LOL)
Isn't that why we call it fanFICTION? Finding creative ways around RL and cannon -- and building up characterization to persuade you that it *could* happen -- is a fic writer's main job, after all. The second thing is to be able to separate the real person, the character they portray on the show, and the fictionalization you create. That's why we write all the "This is BS. I made this up because I had nothing better to do with my life, and it represents or describes this real person in no way whatsoever" disclaimers.
But at the same time, not everyone is into RPS. I suppose one can argue that the persona of any drag queen is merely a role that the actual real-life man is playing, but from where I'm standing RDR slash is still more RPS than not. When the characters and/or the fandom is truly fictional, I have no problems. But rarely can I ever suspend my disbelief enough to get behind RPS, especially if it's cracky and OOC. These drag queens just aren't fictional enough to be written about in such a manner.
I mean, really. Is there Bachelor and Bachelorette fanfiction too? Is there Real Housewives femslash out there somewhere? The very idea makes me die a little inside.
Hahahaha. OK :) We can agree to disagree -- not everyone is into RPS, which is cool. To argue a purely theoretical point, it would not be OOC to write, say, Juju or Raven (who both say they don't kiki) doing it in drag if the author can produce in-character character development that will convince one why they might just change their mind under given circumstances. If they manage to make it believable, then they're good at what they do.
