Hi! I thought I'd say hi and take you up on your offer to comment about this. I have no objection to slash or yaoi fic. Some of the best fic I've read have been slash. The thing is, with the really good fanfics, whether they be het, slash or femslash, the writers didn't ignore canon or history. The relationship never feels forced. It's natural. It's not just a 'throw-them-together-and-write-sex' fic but a thoughtful exploration of character. Though, I've read plenty of those and they can be fun, too. If anything, whatever the pairing, it's just like reading a good old romance novel.
My fandoms - DCU and Dick Grayson mostly but I still read the occaisional Angel or Buffy fic. I have also read some Samurai 7 and Due South fanfic. I just watched the Magnificent Seven (TV show and movie) and may try to look for some fanfic in that fandom. Favorite pairings in DCU: Babs/Dick, Dick/Roy, Dick/Slade, Roy/Slade (not enough of that out there!) In Angel and Buffy; I was a big fan of Wesley/Angel(us), Wesley/Lilah, Wesley/Faith and Spike/Buffy but again I don't read as much anymore.
And me? I'm a happiily married hetero mom with an understanding husband. He doesn't get it, but he indulges me! He knows this is my odd obsession (fanfic, in general-not slash persee) and playfully teases. That's okay, I tease back about his weird knowledge of 70's and 80's music!
