Your thoughts on yaoi

[schmevil]

Although I read (and sometimes write) slash, I've never really considered slash to be an important part of my fannish identity. I'm as likely to fall for a het ship, or femslash ship, as a slash ship, and it's even more likely for me to not ship much of anything at all. And although I have many friends in the slash community, I don't consider it to be my fannish home base.

So what makes a slasher? Are you a slasher? Why do you consider yourself to be (or not to be) a slasher?

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.

I *so* agree. :)
