Your thoughts on yaoi
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 think the prevalence of canon (socially-accepted as it is) tends to bore me a little Subtext is much more fun! ;)
I've always liked the Diana/Steve relationship, whether romantic or friendly, and I wish he could have a presence in her current comics. I'm a sucker for the from-different-worlds kind of relationship, where they learn from each other. I also think it's important for Diana, even more so than Bruce or Clark, to have deep connections to 'ordinary people'.
She definitely needs that connection, which I always felt Steve gave her. He was her link betwwen her world and Man's World, giving her a reason to try and understand mortal life. She comes from such a mystical/magical background, it's good grounding.
