are "joanie/jane" and "the widow garret" really orphan interests?

pearl_o: Oh, you know what another awesome show for femslash is?
Deadwood.
Which is weird, because there is almost no fic
and what there is is mostly a boyslash couple that I don't really see.

fox1013: ...didn't you tell me I'd hate that show?

pearl_o: Oh, you would.
Thus the bitter irony.

fox1013: /giggles

pearl_o: But I can't think of any other show on the air with as many well-developed, complex, interesting, and generally awesome female characters.
Who have relationships with each other, and not just the boys.
Although obviously a lot of their lives do revolve around men, because, you know. 1870s. And two of them are whores.

fox1013: right.
like Veronica!

pearl_o: but not in the "oh, i have nothing to think about but the boy i am in love with!" sort of way.
right!

fox1013: /beams at you

pearl_o: although veronica was more of a con artist pretending to be a whore.

fox1013: ...like Veronica!

pearl_o: /giggles

fox1013: /twirls you

pearl_o: I also am a big fan of the het relationships on that show, though.
And just the show in general. Because it is AWESOME.

fox1013: Right.
But I would hate it.

pearl_o: Well.

fox1013: /is sad by this!

pearl_o: It's lots of swearing and guns and shit and cursing and all mean and gritty and stuff.
I think you would be bored.

fox1013: /nods
Oh, I don't think you're WRONG.
I just think it's tragic!

pearl_o: It is!

In conclusion: Deadwood femslash. IT IS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE.

Hi, browsing friends' friends and saw this. I love Jane/Joanie too, in fact made a post about it a few entries back. I assume you've read the two Yuletide J/J stories?
