I personally really love them. Even if a lot of them would never happen, it's fun to read about it. I love the artwork too. heart

I'm not really a slash kind of person.
You know, I was raised in a very liberal community where that kind of stuff is perfectly fine, so I'm open to it and do I read it occasionally, but I think that it's not necessarily the kind of things I enjoy.
But still, it's possible to write a really good slash story...and have come across like ONE good one EVER.

I come across good ones all the time, mostly due to the fact I have no age restrictions on what I can read. It helps if you are able to read about the pg 13. They tend to get much less fluffy, i've noticed. Now don't get me wrong I do like fluff, but I tend to like the much more mature stories as well.

I like slash and I believe it's possible for any plot to be good if written well, but what I'm tired of in the slash-fiction is all the rather perverted, erotic ones. It only takes the couple one chapter before they're making out/going to bed together. confused
I'm not saying all fanfiction is like this, of course! If I believed so I wouldn't be reading slash. wink However, I usually look for slash fiction where the author prefers to write about the feelings rather than sex.
I hope I'm not offending anyone; that is not my intentions. sad

I agree. I tend to like the relationship to mature before the couple has sex. I mean it is good that they are having a physcial relationship, but an emotional one is just as good if not better in some cases. I really do agree with what you are saying, and I understand.

I agree with that as well! I mean, very rarely I'll be happy just to read some smut, but really, I like the 20 chapter buildup that focuses on emotions much better.

Wow...people are actually agreeing with me; that's rare! lol
In all honesty, I like all types of slash; be it straight or gay. wink Though if the couple is too weird for me, I probably won't read it. Such as Draco/Lucifer. confused

I will admit I am pretty suck in my ways, with the slash I read I tend to stay with the Harry/Draco, if other pairs make an appearence in it, that is fine but I mostly just like my one couple. The others are good as well of course, but I am not into them quite as much.

I hate slash. I mean, if it's really good and doesn't do with much lovey dovey stuff I'll put up with it, but I personally believe all of the characters to be strait. I remember before the 7th book came out I was arguing about that in the Puzzles thing with someone. I only argue with book facts since J.K. Rowling actually wrote those, so those are my bible. Sure the movies have a lot of the same stuff, but it also changes some of it, so I stick to the books. So yeah, I am strongly against Slash pairings, and if you even try to tell me that the characters are slash, I'll battle you to the end. I don't know how big of fanatics you guys are here, but I have always been able to win debates against the people that are willing to debate Harry Potter with me.

I have read my fair share of Harry/Draco slahes, but I am not a big fan of it. I don't really like the lovey dover stuff like LilyEvans said, but I do love my Luna fics. I could read Luna/Neville things all day because in my mind, they should have always end up together...

I don't know how big of fanatics you guys are here, but I have always been able to win debates against the people that are willing to debate Harry Potter with me. Well you do realize that almost every slashers dream came true with the Grindywald/Dumbledore pairing made cannon, correct? I mean it's not that big of a leap to think of what happened after the epilogue, who knows maybe they do find deep rooted feelings for a character you did not think they would end up with at first. I myself did not read fictions for years because I didn't think anyone could do it quite as well as the author could, and boy have I been proven wrong time and time again. I have read some amazing slash that has in effect ended the series and made me quite happy, since I like to believe that the last book never happened. Anyways I am always up for a debate, the friendly type though. I do enjoy heated ones as well, as long as you are open minded, because you can not get anywhere with someone who is close minded. :]

March is absolutly right. It's hard to debate with people that don't care. I listen, and have fun just telling my theories. It's when people call me cold hearted that I have a problem. Like I believed one of the Weasley Twins had to die because NOTHING had happened to them, and the Weasley's were such a big family that was so close to Harry that they needed a death. Please don't call me cold hearted for that. I am sick of being called cold hearted just because I state what I believe. I was also called a lunatic when I said that Snape was good, and that Dumbledore told him to kill him. I was wrong about how and when Dumbledore told Snape to kill him, but I was right about it generally. Much to say I loved both victories. And March, it is fun to pretend the last book didn't happen. I myself have a Harry Potter Role Play guild. It's after Harry Potter, but Voldemort has returned. So I don't put much store in my plans by what the last book says. And I actually started hating slash because I didn't know what it was. Then I read one, and it was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too informative. After that, they just never got along with me. I have nothing against homo's, so don't get me wrong. My sister is a Homo, but when you have the experience with Slash I had, you learn that it is not necisarrily your friend. Sorry to any of you that I may have offended. I don't mean to offend anyone. Really I don't.

This may be due to English not being my first language, but isn't the term 'homo' offensive against homosexuals? Not trying to be cruel, I'm just curious. confused

I got the cold shoulder myself when I was telling people about Snape...No one believed me. D; I also understand about reading a fiction that is a bit too explicit. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I have seen many others who have ran into them and they have turned others away from slash forever, unfortunately. I know you didn't offend me, I just like a good debate every now and again. :]
