Absolutely, writing fics can be good for so many things!
I've watched Maurice but it was years ago, so I don't remember much. I'd like to read the novel, too. I should rewatch the movie, maybe it's a good idea for this pride month.
Yeah, exactly, representation is always important, whether it's for LGBTQ+ people or for POC, women, disabled people, any kind of minority or oppressed group. I feel like some people don't realise how important it is to see people like you on screen portrayed positively. So glad to hear your daughter has someone like you as a mum <3
Oh, the budget was an issue for sure! Such a shame, really.
I've never watched The Professionals, is it any good? I've seen a lot of slash for the show out there because I read a lot of Fanlore articles about slash and fanzines, but I barely even know what the show is about lol.
Ahh, so you're more of a Spones person! I get that, they have a different type of chemistry that's also very fun. I do love Kirk/Spock myself, but I get preferring other ships. I also know a lot of people who prefer Kirk/Bones, but I think that comes mostly from the Abrams movies.
Fiction is really life-saving, honestly! My mum's going through a depression right now, no wonder after everything that's happened to us, and I think it's really helping her to be watching a soap opera every day. Which, by the way, has a sapphic storyline right now that she's very invested in. And she keeps fighting people on fan groups when they get homophobic about it lol. It's really amazing how fiction can also help people overcome their prejudices, because I can tell you my mum wasn't this supportive a few years ago.
