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.

After years of reading fanfic I've only recently started reading slash and even then it is restricted to largely one fandom. I have read slash in other fandoms if it is well written but I don't go seeking out Spander yahoo groups. As a general rule my reading preferences go something like this:

Het - HP, WW, AB, BtVS non canon relationships

Slash - Due South (100% due to msgordo) When I started reading in the fandom the slash stories were better written than the het.

Gen - SG-1 'cause I can't get past the whole military frat rules when it comes to het fic

Saying that, I am happy to read minor characters in a slash relationship with the understanding that if the author is deviating from canon sexuality there is a damn good explanation why. My het preferences are based either in canon (JC/Anita, Viktor/Hermione etc) or 2 characters having some serious subtext in the shows (eg Josh and Donna in West Wing)

Oh and the fact that I agree with cissasghost goes without saying : )

I too prefer gen fics with SG1... at least in the core group. I wrote some Sam/Martouf stuff too many years ago to count, but not the main four. Cuz, no.

if the author is deviating from canon sexuality there is a damn good explanation why.

A common theme.

(and we all agree with cissasghost)

That's because the rest of lj are twigging to something I have known for years: Sonya is one very intelligent woman
