I've stopped watching a lot of media because I'm sick of having to rely on fanfic for the queer reading. I think part of the reason I love the Ponds so much is that they really do read as genderqueer to me -- they definitely have the gender roles swapped in that story. And it's not enough, of course, but it has kept me from vomiting into my hat every time they're adorable onscreen. So many of the shows that people squee over because it's got a great pairing I don't even want to watch because it's not actually canon. I actually stopped watching White Collar because I knew I was never going to get canonical threesome, and I didn't want to see what het pairing they were going to come up with instead.
I've still got that murder/theft mystery thing on the back back burner of my writing program, but it's on the back burner because I don't know what I'm doing with the background for the main character, who's trans, but she's totally hiding it, but I don't like that narrative but that's the only narrative the character's giving me. So I keep ignoring it so I don't have to feel like a bad person for writing it.
