OK, so for the mad slashers (yes, I know everyone hates that phrase, but I am powerless before it! Powerless, I tell you!) among us, and any others so inclined, first, read this. (The last line alone is kind of worth it. Plus, Batman aside, I can so see the Joker doing that, except that DC would never ever ever ever in a million years let anyone write or draw it except that you know -- you KNOW -- somewhere in the deepest darkest recesses of DC editorial there lurk the Forbidden Issues where writers and artists went hog wild and every once in a while they sneak back and read the Forbidden Issues for inspiration...)
Then read this: Lurking Rhythmically: The Gauntlet is Thrown: ...I am issuing a challenge to comic book fans, blog writers, and anyone else who wishes to rise to the challenge and pick up the gauntlet: Pick one of these, or another of your own creation, and write something. Post it on your blog if you have one. If not, send it to me and I'll post it here, properly crediting you.
(Purely a side note: somehow I keep thinking that Wonder Woman as conceived by Camille Paglia = Amazons Attack! Or close enough for gubmint work, anyway.) (Except that her Wonder Woman would spare a few of the gay men so they could go have anonymous sex in bushes and celebrate their wild, unbridled sexuality! And then she'd kill any of them who didn't want to, because they weren't being authentic gay men.) (...OK, so I may have one or two issues with Ms. Paglia.)
And the very last comment on that is really kind of perfect. Although in that case, Buffy ought to be more polite about the spiking and the slaying and the whatnot.
Then read this one: Just Imagine.
I keep thinking that Ernest Hemingway and any of the male heroes would be kind of interesting. Except that they'd all be impotent and morose about it.
Or Superman as written by Dennis Cooper or the alleged JT Leroy. (... OK, ow. I think I just broke my own brain with that one. Although drugged-out hyperslutty Supes could be interesting...)
Oh, the many options...
