The Great Angst Meta

[hmpf]

is about half done and clocking in at 3300 words now. If I produced fic at the pace I produce meta I'd be a novelist.

When I'm done with the first version of this I'm going to want to run it by some critical minds before posting it. Any takers? Topics covered include angst and h/c, the problem of the body (esp. in h/c), the problem of eroticising suffering, objectification and exploitation, squicks, the meaning of angst, its relation to sadism/masochism, etc...

I'd be happy to read it over if you're still looking for people to read it through.

Just let me know then what sort of feedback you're looking for.

Just any comments it provokes, really.

It's mostly based on my own experience of fandom, and my experience tends to be a bit idiosyncratic, so I may be miles off about some things, especially where I try to generalise based on my experience. It will be good to check my wild theories against somebody else's experience.

Ooo that sounds pretty interesting actually :)

I'm of course just a single data point as well with my experiences in fandom and all that jazz but I'm happy to read it over.
