Slash poll

[mhalachai]

All right, kids: humour me. Another poll, this one thought up while reading another lj about slash. As before, please fill it out and pimp it in your own lj so I can get a good response. Also, please tell me about why you do/do not read/write slash in comments. Love to all.

I'll read anything if it's well written enough. I appreciate good art, and if that art comes with two penises, great. If it comes with two penises and no justification, not so great.

I want motivation, not just porn. I don't write PWP, I don't read it, and I certainly don't want to have two characters previously het bouncing on down the slash road with cocks in hand and no reasonable explanation in sight.

I once tried to help a fellow ficwriter friend out by reccing a story to her. Encore Une Fois, if you remember it, was the story in question- but said author refused to read it because it wasn't slash.

*blink*

Now, I know this person has in the past liked things I've written het or gen or otherwise, and to be told that the person no longer reads any fic that doesn't have hot man on man aciton was a bit startling.

To me, that says there are many ficcers out there who aren't into good writing, they're into gratification. This is fine, but it's not what I read or write fic for.

I'll respond more to this comment (and others later), but I did want to say that your two characters previously het bouncing on down the slash road with cocks in hand and no reasonable explanation in sight. comment had me half a second from doing a true spit-take all over my keyboard. You're great :P

yes, well, no monitor injury intended.

bakemasterjenny thinks my humor in real life is deadly. I come out with stuff like that all the time. People either laugh hysterically or back away slowly. I'm much more formal on the net.

I just had a horrible image of the world's worst polyjuice potion story. *scrubs brain*

Even when I try to write PWP, I get motivation. Case in point, Nice Girl.

but said author refused to read it because it wasn't slash.

Now I just don't get that some time. I, for one, love all well-written and in character fics. I'm also the grammar fiend, which comes from being a freaking reporter, I guess.

*blink*

I'll raise your blink and give you a Huh?

:P

Nice Girl is fantastic.

By heavens, that polyjuice incident is almost worth a drabble or two.

Come on, I dare you.
