WIP Wednesday: Gender Swap 3-Styles
Jun. 30th, 2021 02:39 amI plan on doing m/f, f/m and f/f Bingqiu swaps (SVSSS), and I hope to get them all written before I post anything so I can put out the f/f first. Thus, hopefully, I won't have to hear the thousandth person offering me Their Thoughts on Yaoi/Genderswap, which are at best not my personal business because it's info on the tastes of someone I don't know from Adam, at worst kinda biphobic and femmephobic, and inevitably just not of much interest to me personally. Very 'don't like, don't read' on this one.
I know the better part of how they all go (dream-kiss plant body male Shen Qingqiu and female Binghe; truly messy water prison f/f), and I really wanna play with the different original novels and fandom dynamics all these combos invoke. Not to mention the SVSSS layer proper--like, what does a female Binghe assume about Su Xiyan? How would this shape the nature of her treatment by and claim on Huan Hua, and what people assume about her and Shen Qingqiu's relationship? To what extent is her power kind of gender-threatening? Is a female Binghe femme, or wearing her demonic imperial grandfather's hyper-masc guan like she's Hatshepsut, or is her presentation shifting and fluid in a way that is itself kind of scary for people? Does she still strategically sa jiao, and how does that hit different? Is she making everyone-but-everyone address her as the Sect Leader's Wife? And how is Shen Qingqiu's extreme repression differently constructed, if Shen Yuan was fairly Aware he was a wife guy for a fictional character who is now his mentee?
***
So this is the start of the 5k I've written on the first one, with a female Shen Qingqiu who's kind of 'gay, and Binghe'. After this, Shang Qinghua assumes he's finally been given a Fangirl of his very own by the System/Universe, only to realise he's trapped in a xianxia with his greatest hatress. Also, Qi Qingqi time, because there is too, too little of her.
