Also, please tell me about why you do/do not read/write slash in comments. HP is my only fandom, and I read all sorts of pairing in fanfic. Het or slash, it doesn't matter to me... unless it's a pairing of two particular people I don't want to see together (ie Harry/Luna; it's a fine ship, just not what I want to read; likewise, I wouldn't read Sirius/James, because I don't want to see them together. The slash factor has nothing much to do with it.
Most of the HP slash is m/m, which is good, because I am a straight woman, so reading about 2 boys is, well, hot. I don't read smut/porn, though, but I do read m/m romances, or fics that feature a m/m couple.
And this in no way matches with my views on homosexuality in real life. Unpopular as my views may be, fiction is different than RL.
So, yeah. I read slash because it's hot, and some of it is really well-written and emotionally intelligent. And I like that.
