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 couldn't answer your second question, because there was no option for predominantly f/f, which is my main focus. I read very little m/m at all (limited pairings, limited authors), and het only rarely.

Also, from starting off as a het writer, many years ago, I've become a predominantly f/f writer, with the occassional gen story thrown in. I should add that I don't actually write in HP fandom at all, I merely lurk on the edges of the fandom.

I will "slash" m/m pairings while watching a show (ie, "oh, they would make a great couple"), but I won't search out fic about those pairings. Also, I have no problem with non-canonical pairings - being an f/f person, and there being very little of that on TV, if I did have a problem with it, I wouldn't be able to write and/or read all that much fic!

I've got a few more comments I want to make on internal and external believeability of pairings, but I need to go to work. Therefore, I will try to come back to this post tonight or tomorrow morning.
