thank. you. well..hem. I'm definitly het. I"m soemtime rather annoyed by people's dendency to turn the kid nof gen relationships into the field of romance. It's as if it's 'duh', obvious that those two aren't just tutoring each other/friends since childhood and so forth. especially the hate-actually-is-love-reversed one. i'm nearly allergic to it (remember potc2? something about Turner/NOttingham *sigh*) . just as allergic as the best male friends automatically being lovers. I'd like to see more stories wher sirius and james or sirius and remus are good friends, or even just classmates. Or hero and sidekick. I've probably had an overdose of fannish discussions while I was still in groups (which was also a time when most cannon stuff neither confirmed nor denied sexual orientations, and I realize nothing is still set in stone and in some universes it's perhaps even intentionally going towards slash). I don't focus on romance in general. I don't have otp's either. I have some favourites I'd read more about (but I'm mostly reading my friends' stuff these days anyway) but I liek plot and gen better than romance parts.
