Just want to warn ya'll
Friday, September 21st, 2012 02:57 pmOkay, so for those of you that read The path We Choose, I'm writing a one shot involving Becky and Savvy and them getting into a relationship, and I'm really kinda worried about offending those of you one here that I know sexuality is a sensitive subject. No one is homophobic in the story, no, but Savvy wasn't gay before she met Becky. Think Willow Rosenberg from Buffy before she met Tara. So Savvy is trying very hard not to freak out, but she has NO IDEA what she's gotten herself into and is just really, really struggling between moving in the relationship at a rate she's comfortable with and not knowing what she's comfortable with because she's way out of her element. And this is my first, and probably only, fem!slash fic and I'm not a lesbian so it's actually REALLY hard to write. I like regular slash way too much this is just really foreign to me.
So if you do read it, please don't be offended if I'm terribly inaccurate or if you think her reaction is unrealistic or something. This really kinda started as a writing exercise, but I don't want my inability to properly portray what I mean in my head onto paper to offend anyone. I would never, ever do anything like that. And if you read it after this post, you may look and me and wonder what I was making such a big deal over, and that's fine, I think I'm just more worried because of how hard of a time I am having with writing it. But that it's written from Savvy's POV, and she and I have about as much experience with having a relationship with someone of the same gender, which is to say absolutely no experience, I think I may be doing okay portraying her struggles.
Just wanted to give you the heads up, and after I do post it in a few days, I would love feedback if you do read it.
