And again, I don't want to point fingers, but I just read what's available. If the majority of fic is slash, then that's what it is. That, obviously, doesn't mean anything since I barely go out of my way to (anonymously!) prompt anything in kinkmemes and such, so I can't absolve myself, but...I'm a lazy bum. I like looking down a list and clicking on a fic and reading it. I don't really feel like going out of my way to find something. My favorite Harry Potter pairing is Ron/Hermione and two of my fave characters are Luna and Bellatrix, but...I don't care enough about HP to go joining comms for it. I care a lot more for something like Thor, so I went looking for comms. And they just happen to mostly have slash - altho I adored Jane! So, just bc I'm in a fandom that's heavily dominated by slash doesn't mean that I don't cheer on female characters or adore het pairings, you know? I just don't think that fandom is a great indicator for what people are like. Esp for someone like me, who's mainly a lurker, fandom is definitely not everything that means a lot to me.
I don't think there was a logical flow to any of this so...yeah. Sorry. Whatever came into my head, got typed lol.
But yes! I mean, if I was given a fun and easy primer, I think it would help. And omg, they sound adorable! (And Pique/Shakira is the greatest thing ever.)
