The fact that they're both the same gender is pretty secondary to the view of their inner life, to me.

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

Gonna agree here. None of these characters worked for me as slash pairings. In fact, I have this vision of the men of Serenity all freaking out at the very suggestion of being 'sly' - much spitting of coffee, and spluttering.

Mal didn't have that reaction when Nandi suggested it... He was all calm about it, which implies that it's not a big deal at all.

I imagine the only one to freak out might be Jayne, but then, who knows?

I'd like to think that 500 years in the future men might be more secure in their sexuality than that.

I know, it was just the mental image. Perhaps River coming out with something calm and utterly inappropriate mid-mealtime...I imagine the Core planets are probably quite chilled out, but some of the Rimward planets, particularly those with a more religious outlook, might not be so enlightened.

Yeah, I get the feeling Jayne wouldn't be one to turn down a sex opportunity, although he might be a little opinionated about whos doing what...

And Mal's reaction to Nandi's question left plenty of wiggle room. "No, I lean toward womenfolk..." Just lean?

Though, I must admit, the first time I happened across a Mal/Simon (Before I knew what slash meant) I was horribly offended - because I want Mal for the women! Back off Simon, he's mine!

I've seen the sad underbelly of the slash community, so I'm constently questioning it.

Friend of mine got a big video threat cause she banned this child preditor, Who was proven to be a child preditor, who wrote Slash fics, with little kids in em..

Just my humble opinion, of course...;-)

I like fanfic that respects the "canon" - and if it challenges it, it does so in an original or at least intelligent way. Slash is not original...

..thank you. Exactly. you said what I couldn't!


It's basically what I was trying to say, I tend to write alot of off the wall stuff when I do write but it's allways based on canon in some way or another.

I just tend to think sex is overrated and cheap entertainment as is. There's alot more that people can write about.

Honestly, what's most fascinating is that every post here tells me more about the poster than about the subject matter. That's what makes fiction grand. I will say a few things:

1)When I called James "the best ingenue Angel ever had" I merely meant that there was enormous acting chemistry between them. After throwing different actresses up against David (sometimes literally) it was gratifying to find someone who brought out passion in David's performance that I'd never seen. I mean, look at Caveman vs Astronauts, for god's sake! David is off the charts hilarious. I learned early on to film those two in one-ers instead of regular coverage because their energy just kept increasing. Others have misinterpreted that quote before.

2)What may or may not have happened is entirely up to the viewer, that's what makes it art. Having said that, I know EXACTLY what happened and it's funny that I'm never going to tell anyone. But did no one see the obvious smoldering passion between the Blue Hand guys? MAN, did you guys miss the boat.

3)In my world, heroes bugger each other senseless. Not all of them, but more than you'd think, and probably not who you're thinking. But seriously, Anybody here care to tell Apollo and the Midnighter how a hero should behave? To their faces?

and I repeat:
Joss NEVER ever said that Mal has never had a gay experience...
Joss has never gone into the details of his characters 'preferences' at all...
YOU assume Mal is straight, fine...
but that only says something about you, not about Mal.

I would ask you to read Joss' post (which I quoted above) again...
particularly where Joss himself said:

And how many people would have said Willow was entirely straight early on in Buffy?
