Read the replies re: het warning, and am actually fascinated by the idea that people in a slash fandom feel they need to warn for het? Is this some kind of pseudo-liberal slashy stance? I mean, guys, het is not evil or bad or anything...
Funny enough, it reminds me of the x-tube choice buttons where you click one button for male or female and click the ticky box for like: male, female, or both. It's like predefining a category.
Same in fanfic, and I get it for porn, possibly, when you want to read porn to get off you'd like to read what gets you off thank you very much, but there are stories where there is no sex ... would I still warn for het, like it's some kind of outrageous thing? Look at me calling heterophobia here. Frankly, if people call for 'no warning for slash' then there should also be a 'no warning for het' call. It's the same bloody thing.
