'Cause I feel like it...

The big Slash meme that went around recently...

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!

I think I did this already. (I do so many memes, they start to blur.)

Casey/Dan so much better a pairing than Casey/Dana!
