seekingferretThings that would happen if The Autograph Man were actually a real fandom instead of a delusional dream of mine like all my fandoms:
-Alex/Adam shippers would war with Alex/Joseph shippers. I would probably side with Alex/Joseph because I feel bad for Joseph. Then there would be a backlash from the Alex/Esther shippers who hate when canonical love interests are erased. And then there would be a flame war because it's obvious that Alex/Esther is a mess. And people would whine that there wasn't enough Adam/Joseph. Is it because Adam's black?
-There would be a community for Dear Kitty letters. Hell, even though it's not a real fandom I may create a community, or at least an AO3 collection.
-I'd be off in a corner writing fic about Rubinfine and Rebecca. Nah, I think I'd be writing Rubinfine and Darvick and Green genfic if this were a real fandom. I'm probably going to do that anyway, because I love their sniping so much. They're characters from a Jewish folktale transported to modern England, and it's hard at times to believe they exist in the same world as Alex.
-The transgressive people would write the scene with Alex and Kitty sharing a bed, over and over again. Hell, a part of me expected more to happen when I was reading.
-Pacemaker kink? Hello, fandom!
-Circumcision debates like you wouldn't believe. For the record, my guesses are: Mark: Real bris milah. Alex: Hospital circumcision. Joseph: Real bris milah. Adam: Real bris milah performed by his 'old crew', then conversion ceremony when he came to England with symbolic bris milah.
Unfortunately, since this isn't a real fandom and my little snippet of Dear Kitty is probably the first fanfic written for the book, I'm going to have to make do with requesting Li-Jin's shivah for Yuletide.
