I consider myself a slasher, even if there are aspects of the community that exhaust me and I don't feel the need to slash EVERYTHING or consider my favorite m/m couples canon or even THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE.
Yeeeeah. This is something that bugs me too. Especially when it gets extended to 'shout outs' or 'attacks' from the writers Like how many Remus/Sirius shippers felt betrayed by JKR's lack of interest in the pairing, and argued that she'd got it wrong. ;)
Which kind of comes to why I get inspired to write fanfic -- if the work doesn't have an aspect that I WANT to see, then I feel the need to write it. Which is why I usually don't write any of the canon m/f couples I really like
*nod* Me too. Although the few times I pushed myself to write my canon m/f ships, I had a lot of fun with it.
Like I said to someone else upthread, yaoi is iffy for me. There's something about the aesthetics of it that I can't get into for the most part. That said, there are a handful of fandoms in which I enjoy yaoi. Quite often they're fandoms with a lot of stories that could be called slash, or a lot of stories by slash writers. Somehow the yaoi-ier stories become more palatable with slash to balance them.
The second one had sex but their penises were invisible.
Happens in m/f and f/f hentai too. Such a ripoff. *g*
