Het can be just as fun, meaningful, sexy and intelligent as slash or gen and I enjoy reading them equally. It doesn't depend on the orientation (which is offensive) but more on the author and how they handle the pairing. I'd rather read a great fic about my most despised pairing than I would a shitty fic about my OTP.

Not that there isn't shitty het out there: JPC, if you've seen some of the shite submitted to R/T communities you'll know what I mean. But there's an equal amount of shitty, unsexy and lacking-entirely-in-merit slash as well.
