[...] and Olivia/Liz and Casey in Law & Order SVU (file this under “will never happen outside fanfiction“). But the other thing this list tells me is that there are actually quite a few bona fide [...]

I LOVE SVU and the fic, especially Benson and Cabot.
The actress who plays Alex has been very open about the lesbian subtext between the characters and has said that they might be in love: http://www.afterellen.com/blog/sarahwarn/stephanie-march-talks-about-an-Alex-Olivia-romance-on-SVU

What was with that femme-up of Olivia in seasons 4/5??! Oh my god, the hair was SO much sexier short. Olivia was such a sexy mother in the first few seasons.

Sorry this is supposed to be about Fanfic….oops.
Ok fanfic…..I loved The Sum of Contradictions series on Ralst – http://www.ralst.com/SumContradictions1.HTM

There are loads of great ones though.

Great comment CanuckJacq, I have to agree, the writers know we’re out here reading all this fan fiction so every now and again they do “throw us a bone” but they rarely if ever actually do anything meaningful.
I welcome the recurring gay character in SVU but you are right, they know what we want but they won’t give it to us. It’s the same story, to a lesser degreee, on Criminal Minds.
Thank God for those fanfic authors

I love femslash. Discovered it during the days before Xena/Gabrielle became maintext and now follow, largely, Law & Order SVU.

There’s some interesting stuff there with SVU, where viewers believed that Det Benson was gay during the first 4/5 seasons and then the character started to femme up (and aquire “manvils”). Also the main “ship” was sunk as ADA Alex Cabot left the show in Season 5. Now, in Season 11, they’ve brought her back, and the femslashers have never been so busy.

NBC have toyed with us a bit, asking questions on their website about whether viewers still believe Benson is gay (by and large, yes) and then saddling her with yet another “manvil”. They threw the gays a bone last episode where Dr Huang (FBI psych) comes out, but it took them until Season 11 to have a recurring gay character in a show that often explored LGBT themes. So sad.

I’m sorry, this isn’t much of a comment, but more of an essay. Anyway, femslash fanfic rocks!
