Date: 2005-04-20 09:44 pm (UTC)Now this is kinda tough for me, cause heck I've written a Weasley Twincest fic, mostly just to see if I could.
Some of the more popular pairings--Harry/Ginny Draco/Ginny Harry/Draco--it's got to be an author I adore or someone who really knows my taste praising it for me to touch those. Harry/Hermione is a pairing that doesn't *quite* work for me. Harry/Ron, oh yeah. Trio, most definitely. Ron/Hermione yep. Harry/Hermione *should* work but most fic I've read falls flat. Usually bitter, jealous Ron lurking in the shadows ruins those.
Some fandoms I like mostly gen leaning stuff. LotR for one. Though I do like Legolas/Gimli as long as Legolas isn't sobbing like a 12 yr old girl every five seconds. And bittersweet Sam/Frodo is always nice. Though Perverted Sex-Feind Hobbits is a definite pass.
I like Xanderslash. Though X/S or X/A it has to be really good PWP or something with some real in depth thinking explaining, careful twisting of canon to make it work, or just FUN--drunk, wonky spell, whatever. I like Crossover het and canon X/C or X/Anya. Xander/Buffy-no, just no. Have yet to read that pairing where I didn't want to scratch my eyes out, Xander/Willow-*maybe* if it's done right. Willow/Faith, Willow/Tara, Willow/Crossover female no problem. I like Willow slash and Faith slash. Buffyslash no. Actually the vast majority of Buffy-centric fic with exceptions of a few authors no. *shudder* I started reading slash whilst fleeing from B/A B/S badfic and shipperwars. I was thoroughly traumatized *grin*. Twisted love/hate sire/childe need a few centuries of therapy Angel/Spike, Angel/Dru, Spike/Dru, Angel/Spike/Dru...oh yes. Love that.
Basically I'll read any genre, it's more the characters and storyline for me. Doesn't matter who's doing who, I just like a good story.
