Teh Big Slash meme Read and/or write? yes and yes, but nothing above a PG thusfar Since when? Reading - six months, writing - three months? How did you stumble into slash? Was trawling ff.net for Casey/Dana and found I preferred Casey/Dan Your first fandom and pairing: Sports Night - Dan/Casey The first person you told about your new hobby: Ummm...my flist? I think. The fandoms you read: Sports Night, DC Superheroes and Due South The fandoms you write: Sports Night Your favourite pairings: Dan/Casey, Fraser/Vecchio Favourite genres: Sports Night Least favourite pairings: Robin/Nightwing, Robin (or Nightwing)/Batman Least favourite genres: I don't read that many different genres What makes a story good? Good characterisation and plot (unless it's a PWP) What makes a story bad? Bad characterisation and no plot at all The best author: Oooh, tough one. Gonna decline this one Why? Don't want to single anyone out. There are several really good SN writers out there The best story you've ever read: I don't have a single favourite - there are too many good ones. The worst author: Again not gonna single anyone out Why? Risk of hurt feelings The worst story you've ever read: There are some dire Due South fics out there.... The best story you have written: At the moment, I think I'm proudest of 'Affirmation' The worst story you have written: I don't know....never happy with any of them Do you leave feedback? I try Do you get feedback? Thankfully, yes Do you have a favorite kink? I don't mind hurt/comfort if the plot's good Does something squick you? M-Preg's just freaky.... Is slash simply sex? I like my pairings to have a romantic connection, not just out to get their rocks off. Is slash a way of life? It's good entertainment How much time do you spend reading/writing? Reading - as much as I can. Writing - whenever the muse allows me to Do you have RL friends who slash? Yeah...hate the pairing *shudder* Have you made online friends through slash? Yep Do you think slash is just a phase? No, not really. It's just romance-fiction to me. Could you simply stop slashing? Nope, not now I've started What do you think about... Ratings G to PG-13 Cool, but I wouldn't mind if it went higher Ratings R to NC-17 *grins* Yes please AUs Depends on the way its been written ARs I assume that's 'Alternate Reality'? No problem with that. Crackfics Depends on how it's written, but probably not too keen Porn Hell yeah, but a good plot helps Angst Cool Mush *grins* Go for it Love Oh hell yeah. Without it, it's meaningless Romance Yes please! BDSM Not really Darkfics Nah Deathfics As few as possible, please Non consensual/rape Depends on the writing - I love 'Being An Anchor', for example Rape recovery See above FPS That's all I read RPS No.....absolutely no RPG Buh? First times Yep *grin* Like them a lot Established relationships They're cool too Threesomes Sometimes - 'Two Player Game', for example. And 'Swingers' was good. m/m slash Yes please! femmeslash Nah Slashing a children's book/movie Ewwww. Though I guess Static Shock counts....*scuffs toe* Chanslash what? Explicit sex What's good slash without the details? The importance of charactarization Extremely important. In SN it can make or break a story. OOCness Depends on the writing. If I can suspend disbelief enough I can still enjoy the story. Canon Always a good idea Fanon That can be fun too, but you need to be pretty familiar with the fandom to get it. Cliches Heh - if used for humour they're awesome Supernatural Nah MPREG Ewww! I did read a not-completely-horrid Due South one, but it was cringeworthy and I kept thinking "Why am I still reading this?" the whole way through Wingfics I've never come across one. I'm assuming this is a good thing. Genderfuck Huh? Crossovers Depends on the crossover and the resulting pairings Group Slut Fics Nah Incest Oh hell no May/December Not really Het pairings in a slash fic Nothing wrong with that - Natalie/Jeremy's a prime example Plot Almost essential PWPs Please sir, can I have some more? WIPs I don't mind - I like when stories get updated. But it's painful waiting, and agonising when they dry up unfinished LJ fics and communities Are a fanficcer's heaven Mailing lists Not as useful as they used to be Big Name Fans Who cares? Politics in a slash story *snore* Religion in a slash story Depends on how it's handled. I respect religion, but I don't want it shoved down my throat Wake up Gay *chuckles* Can be fun sometimes, if pretty implausible And finally.... Your pet peeve: WIPs that don't get finished... Your advice to new slashers: Come and play - the water's lovely! Your slash wish list: More Dan/Casey please! And while drabbles are cool, they're like appetisers that leave you unsatisfied. Longer fics please! The best slash archive: The SN Archive on LJ The worst slash archive: I don't know a specific one, but I hate when they haven't been updated for years CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

Date: 2006-05-08 12:28 pm (UTC)I totally agree! I have read a couple of Dan/Natalie, which were kinda sweet, but I would much rather Dan/Casey any day. I think it's my favourite pairing ever - after I spent a couple of weeks reading Due South, re-reading SN again was like coming home.
