Okay, I just might be... dilusional here.. but I don't know if I feel comfortable reading Jayne and Simon having a tumbing session in Jaynes Bunk, or whatever.

.......there's more Firefly slash then I really care to see! I'm really just sayin how I feel about it, but they're all adults and people got imagination, but...

So out of character!!

I'm done..

Sorry you don't enjoy them.
I think a well done slash-fic can really explore different sides to a character, and give us new perspectives.

But all slash should be clearly marked as such, so you can easily avoid them if they aren't your bag.

As with all non-canon pairings. ;) Or really, all pairings, period.

I'm not into boy slash, either, but mostly because the idea of two guys together is fairly boring to me. I guess I am diffeent from many women in that way.

Characterwise, I find Simon/Jayne more believable than many hetero non-canon pairings out there, so that is not a factor to me.

Girl slash, though... yay! It's just a way of exploring two characters as a pairing. The fact that they're both the same gender is pretty secondary to the view of their inner life, to me.

I'm not into slash fic so I have mostly just stuck to Rayne stuff to avoid an accidents

But I agree better labeling will be better for everyone.

Well said - hurrah!

And, to back up Sameerta, the best solution to fic you don't like is to simply not read it!!

I just don't like it, yeah, I do avoid it. But some how, seeing JayneXMal kinda made my heart sink..

I dunno, it's just I feel some people write Slash just for the sake of writing slash. Augh..

espeically though, the slash that comes out of cartoons made for kids.. which is primarally where I draw the line. but otherwise I just feel it's out of character.. for the most part.

but yeah, I could see where people would want to explore that side of the character.

Still doesn't sit right with me.

I don't have anything against slash fics as such...I treat them like I do other pairings that I don't particularly like- I may not understand them or read fanfics about them, but I'm not going to make a fuss about it.

I do think that labelling should be clearer in some cases. I've stumbled into some thing unawares that were downright creepifyin'. And I do think that some fanfiction in general seems to be written more for smut than anything, which seems more than slightly out of taste.

Having said that, though, I can honestly say that I really don't see how anybody could think that Mal and Jayne are that interested in each other. Or Jayne and Simon.

But hey- some people juggle geese.

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

I totally agree here with m4p. There is so much fanfc on this site (and others) and surely it is not all slash, so why waste time reading something that will offend you. As for the stumbling on to it, I also agree with the better labeling.

I think slash can be fun, but its not my favorite read. I used to read a lot of Highlander fic and slash was rampant in that 'verse. I have wondered why so many women write slash fic. Any women writing slash want to comment?

I'm not judging anyone I'm just curious what the attraction is to write it.

Pretty much why I started it.

I don't go lookin for it, hell I barly even read fanfics! (I like comics better. Having a comic shop right near my ship port really helps!)

Anyway, point is, I just don't see the attraction, and it as I said before, didn't feel good about it.

that's all.

Vera!
Yum! Highlander Fic Slash! Ohhh for the old days of the Highlander Quill Club and Eng and Rory and the gang! OOOOOOOh how I miss it so!

Ahem, enough of that. I shall not dwell on the brilliance that was ensconced at the HQC.

Why do I write slash?
Well, I guess it's like anything that I write- I get a concept, a fantasy in words, and I write it down. Sometimes I half wonder if I'm not really a gay man in a womans body, but any more contemplation of my sexuality might lead to believing I'm actually attracted to little grey aliens and was abducted as a child or somthing, so...

Where was I? Oh yes, I like the idea of men having sex with men. For some reason, the idea that that glance between Mal and Simon, when Mal and Zoe rescue them in "Safe" might, just possibly, lead to something more intimate.
Or Kaylee and Inara's "Hey you", all filled with affection, might be something more than friendship.

I can't help it! I think everyone should have more sex, and that includes our BDHs!
Yes, I'm incorrigible and I will burn in hell for all eternity, I'm sure.
