Disclaimer: Firstly, this is not a slash archive. These are notes for a seminar presentation given on February 18, 2000, for a course in literary subcultures. Secondly, if you are offended by issues of same-sex relationships and the concept of stories which may illustrate graphic sex, you may wish to look elsewhere for your enlightenment. At least avoid sending me hate mail - you don't want to find yourself quoted in my next study, do you?
