So tiresome.

Can we agree to a moratorium on "I like slash as much as the next person, but why do people slash THIS pairing? It doesn't make sense because they seem so straight/there's an age difference/they have canon interests....etc" posts?

Wishful thinking, I know. And sometimes I even agree with the poster. But really--this kind of thing is getting so boring and most slash is based on subtext, which is more than a little bendy depending on who's interpreting it. So why bother?

Yeah, I hear you on that. I write slash in several different fandoms (I also write het and yuri) and I get a nice backlash of 'Well, ok but I don't really see those two being gay in the series' more often than not.

Though I did have someone threaten to kill me once for a non-standard het pairing.
