So I can't stop staring at this picture of Jared taken by vorpalblades. He is so adorable. Just adorable. Can he come to Philadelphia?

medie is hosting an impromptu multifandom drabble meme. Go play. I'm hoping to if I can get past my own writing laze of a block.

Apparently, the whole slash vs. het & gen debate is alive and well. ladybug218 has opened up her journal for discussion of the topic (no flaming!) because she's as flummoxed as I am by the whole thing.

I'll never understand what's so horrible about het. I love the slash for a lot of pairings...but I also love the het. For me, it's all about character chemistry. And I get that we're all different and that different things ping for each of us...so why does it matter so much to some people that what works for one person is a het couple? Why is het so frowned upon by some people?

I guess it goes back to my belief that bad writing is bad writing. Slash writers aren't automatically better because they write slash and vice versa. You either are capable of writing a good story or you're not, and genre designation won't change that.

I see nothing wrong with anyone choosing not to write het and/or slash. It seems to just be when people feel like the other person is wrong for their own choices that I get annoyed.

But dude, you can write lovely het without the smut if you want! God knows that's what I do. I'm terrible with the smut.
