deathpixieJust found this overview of the fandom on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. Recs will be imminent. Something to check out. :)
Although I was amused to read the overview about the fandom said that the lack of porn might not encourage people to read the fic - whilst I read the occasional bit of porn, I find I prefer a fandom to include stories with more plot than "two characters meet and shag each other senseless/ have a deep and meaningful conversation about their feelings over coffee". Porn plays a role in fandom, as does 'ship fic, but honestly, when a fandom becomes all porn/'ship, it becomes incredibly boring after a while. It's like anything - I get bored by a lot of the superhero comics these days because it's nothing but action and explosions. Again, these are good things, but not when they're done to death.
This is possibly one of the reasons why I don't read a lot of slash - it tends to be centred on the porn or the 'ship, and there's frequently not much in the way of an interesting (to me) plot. What porn/'ship I do read tends to be slash, if that will avoid someone slapping the label of "homophobe" on me, btw.
Consider the above to be my contribution to the 'unpopular opinions' meme, although I know it's not that unpopular amongst the people I talk to mostly. :) Some people won't agree, I know, but hey, that's what being individuals is all about.
