Fun - fun is sitting and surfing randomly at a school computer, waiting for my group partner, and listening to a group of students working on some project about Harry Potter and the effects of HP in the world. And by the sound of it they are looking at fanfic on a computer not half a room away - and I am feeling oddly amused, listening to the comments they make (and wondering whether they have stumbled over slash yet). Well, at least they sound like they are having a good time - they laugh a lot, that´s for sure.

Haven't heard of it. And you're right, it wouldn't even be logical for Hector to shag his brother. Has Paris actually done anything right in this story anyway?
Well, Greek mythology is rather interesting for me, not really shocking, but I don't enjoy reading it - and slash fanfiction is rather for entertainment, isn't it?

"and slash fanfiction is rather for entertainment, isn't it?"

Never really thought of any other possible purpose...

I hope I made at least some sense... *g*
And I couldn't think of another purpose either - at least not a reasonable one. ;) Yet there are a lot of people who read incest or rape fics and I always think: They can't enjoy that!

Hm...

Yet, there are people who would - some quite vocally - argue that our pure, innocent slash stories are perverse and hideous things and cannot fathom how anybody would want to write, let alone read such sick and twisted things!

Personally, I have always believed in "whatever floats your boat" when it comes to things like fanfiction (but please make a note in the summary if you think it won´t float somebody else´s boat).

I completely agree with you!
And I'd argue with everybody who insults our poor slash stories! Hmph. Ignorants!
