i too started with SGA fanfic. by accident i found there was a lot more slash fiction. and it was better written than non-slashy stuff. i didn’t even know there existed such well written stories. and they were FREE. and were about my favourite characters. and totally removed what ever “chick” writers decided to make up so the characters had a romantic interest. To be honest i would rather that characters on some tv shows didn’t HAVE romantic interests. it would totally solve some of those pesky canon problems that prevent characters being slashy!
i do have problems tho. I see slash every where there are hot guys on the telly. and get really, really annoyed when the “cheat” on each other *laugh*.
(and if this isn’t all correctly spelt…sorry…but i am typing by candle light…don’t ask)
Typing by candlelight sounds terribly romantic! LOL! And yes, I’ve noticed that slash stories tend to be far better than het stories – and I speak as one who has written both. I’m not saying ALL het stories, obviously – there are some great ones out there. But slash seems to go further and explore more whereas het seems to be traditional romance genre type stuff and therefore rather boring (to me at least!). What I like about slash is that we’re not stuck with roles or traditional male/female romantic expectations. And it’s far more interesting getting two guys into bed with each other – you have to work harder for it!
