(But, then, I am in the relative minority of slash writers who doesn't generally slash except where she sees it as a legitimate and defensible reading of the text, so I don't have the kind of 'legitimacy' anxieties that many do. I can take my slash anywhere without being ashamed of it.)
... hunh. Do you seriously think shame -- however mild -- has anything to do with why more of us aren't joining the blogaround you enjoy? Seriously?
Because, for me? It's all about interest level, and the fact that many of the things I see being criticized in the blogs you link to are things *I* find lovely and fun, with the addition that the critique in question is rarely engageable. I can argue for hours with, say, derryderrydown about Bart's characterization in TT v3, because she says things like, "I feel he's shown as being too immature," as opposed to things like, "and yet again, Bart is useless."
*Shame* comes in when I find out that the creators are *reading my lj*. Which is a different thing entirely.
