And You Though You’d Joined Them All!
FUFUFU!
Rabbits: <Clap their paws over The Kwobt’s mouth to stop her maniacal laughter.>
Anyway…
First of all, why the hell call a mailing list “The Squicky Rashid ML”? Well, as I am so very fond of saying, “Why not”? Have you ever seen a Gundam W organization of any kind with his name on before? Well, there may be and “Anti-Bastardization” out there but I haven’t actually laid eyes on it myself. What’s not to like about Rashid? He takes care of lovely Quatre, he’s the calmest and sanest of the Maganacs, he can kick some serious hiney in his mobile suit. Sure he’s got funny hair! So does everyone else in the show…
He’s also got an odd little tie in to Wufei. Yes, they are connected. Some people get absolutely, positively squicked beyond all words to describe squickiness if someone makes any reference to him having a libido, so her never does. Wufei has a similar problem (being the odd man out in 1x2/3x4 stories) but even he does not approach the disgust some people associate with Rashid. It’s really not fair. People have written stories with Quinze and Tsubarov getting quality sheet-rumpling time with the boys. But not Rashid! That would be gross. I think part of the reason must be that the most obvious partner for him is Quatre, and Quatre of course usually ends up with Trowa so…
The other part may be the age difference but even shota-con people tend to cyber-scribble this when I mention Rashid’s naughty bit: >_<.
Honestly I don’t know so I’ll shut up now.
But I’m not saying that’s wrong. This is a mailing list based on the idea that NOTHING is ever WRONG when interpreting Gundam W.
Basically, The Squicky Rashid ML was concieved as a place pairings that are quote on quote "wrong"... but that kinda ended up meaning scholarly debate and ficcies.
What kind of ficcies? Yaoi… and by Yaoi, we mean all pairings of Yaoi,
including those which may be perceived as “icky” other places. But
we also like regular pairings too.
We support reversible boys! That means either can be uke and they’re allowed
to switch if they want to.
And Yuri! Primarily, there will be Yaoi, but if you fancy finding out what
Sally Po would do if she found Noin in her bed covered with chocolate syrup,
none of us will stand in your way.
We
are also Shota-con friendly which means you may see older men in bed with
little boys.
By Scholarly Debate we mean calm, well-presented arguments about something
you may think about something in Gundam W. You can state reasons
for pairings, interpret symbols, fill in plotholes… all that good stuff.
Rebuttals of course should be equally well-stated.
We like good manners period here and well-written fics. Please beta
things before you send them in. We also like well-presented things
where if you go way far out in the avant garde (i.e. making Heeor a total
asshole because you need someone mean) you justify it somehow at some point
(i.e. the traumatic childhood trauma that made Heero hate such-and-such
so much he just couldn’t be nice to thim). Creativity is nice too.
No-no’s
Flaming will ABSOLUTELY NOT be tolerated. There is no such
thing as WRONG on this ML. Just because you don’t think what
someone else thinks doesn’t mean you have to call them a “Spooty-spoot
head” or anything worse. You may state politely why you don’t, but
be nice.
No fights over who’s uke in which pairing. Yawn.
No Yaoi/Yuri/Shota-con bashing.
No fights over the rape thing with Trowa. No fights over rape period.
People have a right to write what they want, you don’t have to read it.
