2. I hate it when people try to tell others what they shouldn't write/draw because it's immoral/harmful/whatnot. But watching people self-censor their imagination is even more painful.

10. As long as there's slash and gen, we could almost do without het, couldn't we? *ducks*


I dunno, I think these two contradict each other.

For the benefit of previous commenters: I am not a teenager nor a housewife. I write slash. A lot. I also write het. I also read it. I also like it. I also like slash. And genderfoolery. And bisexuality. And various other explorations of any number of things. I in fact think the label itself is messy; the dynamics of the particular pairing in the particular fic may or may not fall in line with the stereotypical representations of het reality, or with canon. For instance, I doubt anyone has written a sweet canon-like Bellatrix/Neville. Would that be het? Absolutely. Would it be real likely to have any of the same dynamics as any canon relationships? Not so much, unless you think Bella/Rodolphus is clearly delineated in canon and has the same sense about it. Is it worth exploring anyway? Maybe. I don't write that particular pair, for what it's worth. What about Tonks/Remus? That's canon, but there are not exactly painfully few ficks in which it is genderfucky. Metamorphmagus, and the blood relationship to Sirius--that gets played with a lot.

In any case, I think it's funny to say you don't want to tell folks what to write/imagine, but then say really, we could just do without this whole category. There are whole categories I personally could largely do without (most deathfic, for instance), but I don't think "we" should do without them. Just me, applied by not clicking those particular cuts.
