the topic is the queer reception of captain america, so basically i’m writing about how steve is being read as queer by a mostly female, in great parts queer fandom, and what the transformative work of the fandom (e.g. fanfiction) can tell us about their attitude towards the source material. i hope i can finish the queer reading part tomorrow, and then i’ll take a two day break petting dogs, and then i’ll analyze a few fics to hopefully underline the points i made in the queer reading. it’s coming together okay at this point, it’s actually way more fun than i thought. i’m just still hella insecure about if it holds up as a scientific work or if it’s just borderline offensive queer fandom rambling. we’ll see :)
