    It's a well known fact that Snape likes it raw.

    97%....now that is a majority. Nice. There has only been one slash fic that I can stand, and it is in dangerous waters.

    ....please, for my curiousity, tell me what you expected to come of posting that on this site?


    Your argument is as flawed as the "straight" one is, it'd have a more solid base if you just said "Penises were meant to be lubed and driven into holes" many could and would support that arguement, and you wouldn't be trolling on an obviously anti-mainstream* slash site.



    *I make the distinction because one of Hp Slash's main annoyances is the shitty quality of writing, and motivation behind writing it, i.e. Teenage fantasies.

    Quite right. It's still fun to argue about though. I mean that is the whole purpose of this thread anyway.

    Maybe that some consideration would be taken so that the person reading would obviously know that what was written was not to be taken seriously. Of course my argument is flawed because guess what, it wasn't an argument. It was a non-serious statement targeted towards an audience that doesn't take everything someone says up the ass. Your taste for well written slash is just that, your tastes. Somethings aren't meant to be written in mainstream. Take the death of Superman. Some writer thought it was time for him to die. But the audience didn't like that so he was brought back later on. Just because someone can write something well doesn't mean it should happen. What if I write that Harry can fly without a broomstick and have 7 animagus forms and I write it well. Is that ok? If you enjoy well written butt secks then more power to you, that doesn't mean its good.

    I have to agree with him on this one because of the fact that most femslashes have plots, Well more femslashes have plots than slashes any way. The fact remains that most people by the poll say that slash is bad.


    We should have another poll. Slash, Femslash, Straight, And non of the above

    I'm like the only guy who doesn't like girl on girl loving. It leaves me sexually frustrated to watch only and especially when I realize that they don't like guys.

    i had to vote slash. it was such a big gap.
    personally, i like both slash and M/F and i'll read either if it's written well

    Slash, Femslash, Straight, NONE of the above, and ALL of the above. I wouldn't know what to choose otherwise since I like all of them.

    Being bi, I think I am in the best place to appreciate all worlds.

    I can appreciate f/f for the obvious delight of two girls together.... I also think there is some really well done stuff in this genre.

    I can appreciate m/f because, however it is, it works for me. I used to avoid m/f after I got too fed up with the cliches of this genre, but then I got fed up with the cliches of slash and had to go back to m/f in order to find 'original' fanfiction

    I can appreciate m/m because I think Harry/Draco is just yumm, and I am sickly attracted to Harry/Snape

    Snape is gross. It doesn't matter if you are heterosexual, homosexual, or asexual. He is gross. I remember someone saying on a different thread that girls like slash because the guys in the story are better developed for romance. Before HBP, I'd say that Draco was about the most one-sided character in the story, next to Dudley. He didn't get much better. I perfer a story with as minimum romance as possible, if for no reason other than there are so few fuckable characters in the story, and none of whom are compatable with Harry.

    This poll should have a both option. I know I like both, and I also know that both have some truly horrid fiction. But I take what I can get. I've read dobby/hagrid(i threw up a little) and Umbridge/Harry( I died a little on the inside).

    Holy Crap!

    Wow I thought for sure that this thread was dead and gone. As far as I'm concerned it's served its purpose so if one of the forum staff is looking to get rid of some old threads or just wants to lock this thread to use as an example of site opinions be my guest.
